Chatty Biden Leaves Obama Near-Speechless By Adam Nagourney Senator Joseph I. Biden, Democrat from Delaware and a candidate for president, is well known in Washington for liking to talk, about many subjects, with much detail and repetition, and at considerable length. One of his rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination – Senator Barack Obama of Illinois – may have paid the price for Mr. Biden’s loquaciousness (note: if you want some fun, trying Googling “Biden” and “loquacious”) at a forum for Democratic presidential candidates before a labor audience in Washington this morning. Mr. Biden was the sixth Democrat to appear before an audience that seemed a little antsy when Mr. Biden began, and was certainly getting restless by the time he finished a full 30 minutes after he started. Enter Mr. Obama, who remains in Democratic circles these days the subject of considerable interest. Democrats, though, who might have been awaiting a full-out dose of an Obama speech had to settle for more Biden than Obama. “We are going to have to cut this short,” Mr. Obama announced with a glance at his watch.
