LOL!
He runs, and runs, and runs... but only wins Delaware.
Aw cmon, it'll be fun! I have a renewed sense of optimism, kind of like the debut night of SNL's new season (before it's clear that this year's cast is yet another disappointing blend of tepid left wingers without rebellious streaks.)

Bobby Jindahl is not afraid of anyone. He is not at all politically correct. He is articulate, firm and knowledgable. Plugs would have his hat handed to him.

“Bobby Jindahl is not afraid of anyone. He is not at all politically correct. He is articulate, firm and knowledgable. Plugs would have his hat handed to him.”
That’s all true. He is a good debater. However, he is young, relatively inexperienced, and would look so up against Joe Biden in a debate. We need an equalizer, and that is Romney, older and an excellent debater.

Aw cmon, it'll be fun! Fun??? It's hell, I tell you, hell.
McCain is the "conservative" choice.
And... "conservatives" are voting on another thread for Liberman to be his running mate. PLUS, all (well, mostly) I am "really" hearing is PC veeping.
What is fun... those pathetic "converts" who stayed up all night in anticipation of the infamous "text message." What a laugh. Biden. Sheesh.

This strategy may be to keep the (R) turn-out down. That You-Tube ad by the SwiftBoatVets... is enough to get out not only reluctant R's... like me... but anybody with even one firing neuron & an ounce of patriotism.

Yeah I have to agree on that last point. Those idiot folks got Pwned.
Uhm... are you saying that there are FR mainstays who hope McPain picks Joe Lieberman -- a democrat -- as his running mate? Are they drinking right now?

I think they will totally make fools out of themselves at the convention. Especially if Hillary and Bill act up.

To: roses of sharon
From what I have been reading on the blogs tonight, lots of talk that Biden was the only one who said yes!I haven't read any of those blogs but that is exactly what I concluded when the leak of Biden was out there but unconfirmed. There is really no other rationale to choose a smart alecky, verbal gaffe-proned, 30-year + DC insider from an insignificant state. The obvious choice would have been Hillary (the equivalent of Kennedy choosing Johnson) but even I can understand why she wasn't chosen.
Still Clinton would have been the rational and gutsy choice but instead will now be sniping from the wings and costing Obama 5 to 10 points in the General. That is unless the Dems are demoralized by the choice of Biden to the point that there indeed is a flip of delegates in the next few days.
I'll wait until Obama gives his convention speech before I truly rejoice.

^Three senators do not have scores for 2007 because they missed more than half of the rated votes in an issue area: John McCain, R-Ariz., who was running for president; Tim Johnson, D-S.D., who was recuperating from a brain hemorrhage and returned to work on September 5, 2007; Craig Thomas, R-Wyo., who died on June 4, 2007; and John Barrasso, R-Wyo., who was appointed to succeed Thomas on June 22, 2007.
