Barack Obama selected Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware late Friday night to be his vice presidential running mate, according to a Democratic official, balancing his ticket with an older congressional veteran well-versed in foreign policy and defense issues.
Biden, who has twice sought the White House, is a Catholic with blue-collar roots, a generally liberal voting record and a reputation as a long-winded orator.
Across more than 30 years in the Senate, he has served at various times not only as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, but also as head of the Judiciary Committee, with its jurisdiction over anti-crime legislation, Supreme Court nominees and Constitutional issues.

Obama could have picked Moses and he still wouldn't win.
And for the record, Biden is about as "Catholic" as my cat.

It’s official....the Dems are mailing it in. Look for them to put all their money in House and Senate races so they can intimidate President McCain with a filibuster-proof majority.

Biden had "denounced Barack Obama's poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing that Barack Obama is not ready to be president."
As evidence, Republicans cited an ABC interview from August 2007, in which Biden said he would stand by an earlier statement that Obama was not ready to serve as president.
OUCH! Thats gonna leave a mark. BIG SMILE

Biden voted to go to war with Iraq, which contracts the Obamessiah’s much talked about opposition. I can’t wait until people start hammering away at this hypocrisy.

With Biden on board Obama can kiss the 7-11 votes goodbye. Apu and associates not too fond of Biden poking fun at them.

Well we all know that the Clintonistas aren’t even gonna vote for Obama since his getting elected would ruin Hitlery’s plans for runnning in 2012, so this is all a waste of time & money.
