Digesting an Obama-Biden Ticket
National Review ^ | Aug. 22, 2008 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 08/22/2008 11:41:22 PM PDT by FocusNexus

It's hard for Obama supporters to play the age card any longer, as their potential veep is all of six years younger than McCain.

His mouth will be an absolute time bomb. Will he refer to Delaware as a "slave state" again? Will he discuss who's behind the counter at 7-11s?

I'm reminded of a Rudy Giuliani response when Biden took a shot at him - "Joe's a good guy, we all criticize each other during this time... But for Joe Biden to talk about qualifications - he's never run a city, he's never run a state, he's never run a business."

That statement is true for both men on the Democratic ticket.

And what kind of change is picking a Washington insider as a VP?

One last thought before bed: Imagine McCain picking Gov. Bobby Jindal. First line at the debate, "Senator, before we begin our debate, let me clarify for you that I don't work at a 7-11."

Oh, that would be freaking sweet.

Pollster: Biden Not As Appealing To Voters As One Might Think

http://blogs.dw-world.de/acrossthepond/michael/1.6988.html

It comes via Jim Wooten at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “If there’s a politician in America who matches Obama for arrogance, it’s Joe Biden.”

According to Silver, the veteran senator’s favorable/unfavorable ratings are almost even and his strong unfavorables exceed his strong favorables. On the upside, Biden scores with older people, a group of voters where Obama is weak, and could shore up Pennsylvania for the ticket. Silver’s verdict: Biden is not “quite as appealing to the electorate as the conventional wisdom seems to hold.”

A statesman known for slips of his tongue (Biden)

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12735.html

This year, he managed to blow up his official announcement he was entering the race when he deemed Obama “the first mainstream African American [candidate] who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

While preparing for his own run at the party’s nomination last year, he took several shots at Obama’s inexperience, warning that “If the Democrats think we’re going to be able to nominate someone who can win without that person being able to table unimpeachable credentials on national security and foreign policy, I think we’re making a tragic mistake.”

It would be a ticket with no executive-branch experience, right?

Joe Biden, aka “Neil Kinnock Jr.,” is so 1988.

Talk about a little 'roughage in the diet' of that meal ticket could lead to excessive bouts of diarrhea.

Don't forget this. Biden, in 2007, on Obama: 'I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is.'

From here.

Timeline of Biden's life and career

In the Senate since 1973 -- it will be hard for them to criticize McCain.

"Feb. 11, 1988 Undergoes successful surgery after two brain aneurysms are diagnosed." Hmmm -- I hope he is OK now.

Just what we want in a president or VP... (sarc)

Judging by the first comments over on the DU from the far left moonbats, it may get ugly in Denver next week.
