This is going to be sooooo much fun! Lots of “whoops” comments will continue to come from the Obama/Biden ticket!

I missed it, but my hubby said the Biden folks walked his grandmother out to the cars to leave for the airport and then left grandma in the driveway. Did anyone else see that happen?? LOL!

If I were to give credit to Senator Biden I would say he was simply keeping an awareness of the demographics of his state.

However we all know that this is simply a “See I'm really one of ya’ll” pandering approach to the Democratic black vote.

Leave JoBi alone. His point is simply that, now, with his help as VP, the black vote in Deleware is sewed up firmly.

Can someone explain what he thinks he was accomplishing by making this (boring) observation?

8th largest? There are 50 states. So, his state is in the top 16%. Whoop de doo. What does this even mean? Is it good, bad, how am I supposed to interpret it? "My state has the 8th largest ____" is virtually meaningless when there are only 50 states. There must be something I'm missing.

Obama doesn't know much about the American or world economy; foreign affairs is not his forte; he doesn't know American or world history; he will bring no military experience with him into the oval office, but he is supposed to be politically adroit beyond compare.

As far as I can tell, Joe Biden is just another empty suit lawyer politician who will bring no more to the presidency than does Obama. Therefore, his choice of Joe Biden as his Vice President must have been designed to guarantee Obama would receive the black vote in Delaware. If Obama thought that was a politically adroit move on his part, maybe he doesn't have any strong points at all.

But one thing's for sure, Joe Biden isn't going to outshine Obama on the campaign trail.
