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....

History has been made....Barack Obama has picked...another old white guy for VP.
See 500
Ah, give him a break: he came, he saw, he emoted.
Nothing like an arthritic trot up a flight of steps, huffing and panting like a steam engine...
Hvg lived in Hormel country, there were days you could smell the slaughterhouse. It was a small town and that smell travels up the river. Only this ticket could bring back stinky memories...
It might have been an Armour plant. I was little and not paying much attention to meat packing plants.
Flashback- Biden calls voter mentally unstable-- gun rights
That vinyl Obama doll is not flattering at all. Didn’t he have control of his licensing agreements?
Her face looks like she’s been to Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon. Maybe the ugly dress was to distract from her face. I have nothing against her but she looks a lot different than pre-Hawaii.
I meant the FoxNews Channel........I have no idea what was on our local Fox channel.....I rarely watch it. Sorry.
The ringtones go off at 3:00 AM and...
How’s her shading look? Still notably darker than Barack?
Michele’s speaking at the convention. That’s when to check out her face. It looked ok to me before.

Revolving Door Politicians aka Crooks on both sides of the aisle
I didn’t notice skin tone, just different face. I could be totally mistaken but circumstantially, it looks like work done to me. Maybe the DU will start posting about her new look. The dems who claim to be accepting of everyone are always going to great lengths to not be who they really are.
what about liposuction?
Awright. I was on scene, being a Springfield Republican, and was underwhelmed by the entire event. Have heard the two (three?) ‘stemwinders’ BO has given. It weren’t no stemwinder today. The crowd- I can’t tell you the numbers- but there was not electricity in the air- People clapped and cheered as BO or JB would raise their voice and simultaneously spew some platitude about how that’s not how I want my daughters to live or McCain and the Republicans suck etc. McCain by 9 in November.
That creates some intriguing anatomical imagery...I didn't know there was room in the typical backside for both a brain AND a heart.
Oh, no problem - there are worse things to worry about than that! Have a great rest of the evening.
Liposuction in the face? Anyway, I’m googling Michele’s face tonight since I don’t think she needed plastic surgery.
