"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." - Joseph Biden

Breaking on CNN
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.)
What a couple of schmucks!
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.
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.
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.
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?
“Two arrogant, narcissistic, assholes.”
Obama biden Laden.
It’s catchy. My leg is all tingly.
Que ? Que pasa ? Juan McCaino no bueno . Entienda ? Amnesty NO BUENO .
I think they will totally make fools out of themselves at the convention. Especially if Hillary and Bill act up.

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.
Who are the most radical left/liberal members of the Senate?
