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.

Forget digesting, it won’t even stay down.
And what kind of change is picking a Washington insider as a VP?
Oh, that would be freaking sweet.
This is a Maalox moment.
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)

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.
From here.
ROFLMAO!
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.
Joe Biden’s 1988 gaffe and his explanation: ‘’I exaggerate when I’m angry’’

Just what we want in a president or VP... (sarc)
Need something with simethicone in it for the Biden gas ...
Judging by the first comments over on the DU from the far left moonbats, it may get ugly in Denver next week.
