No Ordinary Joe

Great pick! The only pick better would have been Hilliary. The win will be closer now, but we'll pull it out.

Great safe pick. I wish that it was Hilliary, but this is the best pick. You can get without Hilliary being on the ticket. The win will be close now, but we'l still be able to pull it off.

Quite interesting, especially since the presidential nominee is running on a platform of "change" from the usual Washington as usual politics!" Gee, is Biden the way to changing "politics as usual?"

QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: we know what the country would like with Hillary as pres , we all have an idea what the country will look like with McCain as pres , but does nayone have any idea , really now, of what the country will be like with Obama as pres. What maybe like the Hospital at Chicago where we say we are for urban people only if they go back to their little clinics so they can take care of their upper scale patients. I am from a city Miami that has a hospital as big as Chicago's and what they did is just buy a second hospital to care for everyone, not turn people away.

The politics of the veep pick---and what HF brings to be SICK...

so much for change................. Looks to me Obama is right back to the old ways of DC politics. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Great choice. Biden is strong. He balances Obama's relative inexperience. This is a ticket that could win, and once in could actually accomplish things in Washington.
I'm shocked at the selfish petulance of fellow democrats who are still so peeved at Obama that they will not vote or will vote for McCain.

Does Michael Dukakis and Lloyd Bentsen sound like deja vue?

What happened to the CHANGE candidate? He picked a Washington lifer, who voted FOR the Iraqi invasion, and has decades of experience. Joe Biden wanted John McCain to join him on a Unity Ticket for this election.

HOW IRONIC!!

"He knows foreign policy and defense issues of course, but in a textbook way." I thought he had experience. "He is a street politician who has walked the streets of the planet." Fineman, Robert Raymond chandler Heinlein called--he wants's his prose back.

Is Biden someone whose counsel is precious or is he not the sharpest knife in the drawer? Fineman's endorsement seems to stroke Biden with velvet and then smack him upside the noggin with a brick.

Seriously, this grumpy old man could possibly be the president. He may think Obama is clean, but he also said he would be happy to run with McCain or against him. He also stated that he felt Obama was not experienced enought for the top job, but thought McCain was. Once again Obama has made a decision based on his own rock star personality.

What a joke, osama oops obama picks biden who heavily criticized him and biden said he would not except the nomination for vp. Well I guess I will vote for mccain now hehe

The worst possible choice......
The republicans are going to slaughter them in November. And if nothing has moved forward in the US for the past four plus years it is because we have a DEMOCRATIC legislature in Washington who can't vote a clean law....
Clinton wisely did not want to be considered because it is Obama's reputation and sleezy dealings that will all come to the surface... Their foundation is monitored by legislation AND ALL foundations are examined and looked into with a fine tooth comb by the government..... It this had been a question he would have used it during the primaries... HOW low to continue to attach Hillary Clinton, the foundation does lots of good, Obama and his wife have only taken money from sleezy sources, tripling the salary of her job when he got elected to the illinois legislature..... Blahhh
John McCain for President, a true patriot, a man who has ALWAYS reached across the aisle....

so much for change! He wanted to get away from the "old ways of Washington politics" but now hooks up with the same old ways. How disappointing.
