John Edwards would be a better VP pick than Joe Biden.

Hillary Clinton is not a Scranton native. She was born and raised in Illinois. She visited her grandparents in Scranton, and tried to emphasize her extended family ties to the state, but she herself is not a native of PA.

Just want to correct this factual error.

When most people think of Joe Biden, they think Senate longevity, confidence, a liberal with a free-wheeling impulse to give you his never-to-be-humble opinion.

Weird. All I can think of is plagiarism and hair plugs.

Hell I thought everybody in PA was either being arrested on COPS or living on a nice little Amish farm somewhere.

Biden can’t be some Scranton. He actually has teeth in his mouth and is sober most of the time. Definitely not a Scranton native.

All true.
Don’t forget the huge mistake obama made giving billory so much face time next week in denver.
Those two decisions show what a feckless leader he would be(apologies to jimmahc.)

one more reason McCain ought to go with John Kasich from Ohio,, pro life, top notch on the economy and an all around well respected conservative republican with a young family

the guy would tear up Biden on the stump and the debates

he has the life story too of tragedies and triumph

A lot of dead people vote in PA. Should be a call for Federal election observers.

Is that anything like the scrotum effect when you jump into freezing water over your head and your.... legacy to history.... pops back inside where it is warm?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the title said scrotum. Had to go back and read a second time to be sure.

It's Biden: So much for 'Hope and Change'

Double the Arrogance -- Double the Fun! It's Obama-BinBiden 2008

More Great Utube stuff re the reality of the two losers.

During the Debate Forum, Senator Joe Biden says that he knows that Senator Barack Obama took an AIDS test.

Beyond the speeches, how much do you really know about Snowbami?

Just three hours after the Obama campaign sent out its text announcement, the McCain campaign rolled out its first ad this morning, using Senator Joe Biden’s own words during the primary season about Senator Barack Obama.

Except for both of them being white, I can see that Biden would provide the Scranton effect for the dimmicrats...

But which one is which?
