Springfield, Illinois We just arrived at the state capitol. We’re told Biden is en route and on the plane Obama spokeswoman Linda Douglass told us that Obama called Biden Thursday night to offer him the job
It is literally 90 degrees warmer than it was on February 10, 2007. The lectern’s all set up with the new Obama/Biden logo. Obama's plane wasn’t changed – the tip that broke Kerry's choice of Edwards in 2004 -- it simply reads “Change We Can Believe In; www.barackobama.com"). A significantly smaller crowd has turned up for this event than the 17,000 for Obama’s presidential roll out....

Require a wise leader? um uh um um um
If times require change, what have you been doing for the past 35 years Biden?
The problem with Obama’s VP choice is that Biden is another Diva. There’s only room for one Diva on any stage. This could get fun as they amp up their dramatics, fighting for the spotlight.
This morning, I told my husband that someone, higher than BO, promised old Joe that he would be the president. Why else would he be on this losing ticket? I’m watching this live and BO just said I’d like to introduce the next president (pause, pause) vice president of the United States. So, it looks like old Joe will be running the whole show!! I hope Rush heard this slip of the lip.
“OMG...Joe rode the lonely Amtrak train to Wilmington....
I can HARDLY STAND IT!! The character of Joe Biden?”
I just looked at how long the train trip is...1 hr. 15min to 1hr 30 min. from DC to Wilmington. That’s less time than it takes to drive around the beltway at times.
Did Biden take the champagne flight over? He sounds like he’s slurring.
Gee, he’s been in Washington for 35 years and if he couldn’t make “the change we need” then, how can we expect him to do it now.
I know. Poor libs in the media trying to make Biden happen.
This is not some great moment they want it to be, and nobody is even watching on a Saturday in the summer.
So Biden has never see things as bad as now - under a demo do-nothing congress.
Unbeleivable
That makes me think of something. Everyone talks about McCains health. How come no talk of Joe’s health? If he dies on the job Obama can replace him with anyone. Shouldn’t they bring that up since they bring up McCain’s age?
“I hate ABC for showing this crap.”
They think it’s historic. Nobody ever picked a Vice President before. Who knows, maybe it will turn out to be historic.
Channeling the Wellstone memorial?
Is it just me, or is OBiden addressing his kid?
“My friends”...crowd chants yes we can
I wish you were right.
I imagine McCain is watching this now and chuckling.
And don't forget that long two block walk across the street from his office to Union Station to pick up the train.
Looks like BO wants a smoke real bad right now.
