Biden: Hillary a Better Pick Than Me

ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe reports: Sen. Barack Obama’s, D-Ill., vice presidential nominee, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., Wednesday said that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., might have been a better pick for the position than him.

At a rally in Nashua, N.H., a man in the audience told Biden how glad he was that Obama picked him over Hillary, "not because she’s a woman, but because, look at the things she did in the past."

"Make no mistake about this," Biden responded. "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight."

Spokesman Ben Porritt offered this response from the McCain camp: "Barack Obama’s most important decision of this election, and Biden — the candidate he selects — suggests, himself, that he wasn’t the right man for the job, and that Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice. Biden certainly has a credible viewpoint on this."

Sorry Joe the PUMAS are not impressed and nothing will change that. Of course it doesn’t help that your so chummy with McCain either.

HRC Qualified or not, would have been a galvanizing point for the GOP, it would have been all Clinton all the time 24/7. NOthing would have brought the GOP together faster than to insure she did not win.

Joe, be a man and step a side so that Obama can correct his mistake by replacing you with Hillary as VP. Otherwise you will be known as the spoiler of the century

Great move by Biden to grease his way on EXIT and set the stage for Hillary to come in , Dont think this hasn’t been discuss the sooner you do it the better , I always felt Biden would be better serve as SEC OF STATE he loves to travel .
So Hillary come on down and get into the spotlight again
when you go heads up against Palin , her camp CAN’T USE THE SEXISM CARD.

Joe gets this. Can anybody ask Obama is he understand this? I hope he will be questioned about why he skipped Hillary.
Did any one watch O’Rily grill Obama on his ties with Ayers, Wright? It is a disaster. Obama behaved like a high school boy caught cheating in an exam.

Posted by: amy | September 10, 2008, 1:47 pm 1:47 pm

I’m beginning to agree with Biden, not because I think Hillary would have been a better pick, but because Biden cannot even produce confidence in the ticket!!! What is he trying to do? Hash up old feelings and sabotage Obama??? I’m beginning to not trust him at all. The old farts in politics just can’t move over and support the new blood can they? This whole “praise the females so much it doesn’t even make sense” is getting sickening. From a married, church-going, working, mother of 3 children, and a democrat, stop the nicey talk and try to win dang it, I’m not investing in you to praise the other party and set the people who lost in the primaries on a pedestal!!!

Joe Biden has convinced me that he will assist in the loss of Obama if he keeps this nonsense up……
Perhaps you should step aside Mr. Joe Biden……

Posted by: shalom | September 10, 2008, 1:50 pm 1:50 pm

I think Obama being one to always copy off others ideals—-wants to trade Biden in for a woman and this is just the ground work for Biden to step down so Hill can replace him.

Posted by: chattyway | September 10, 2008, 1:56 pm 1:56 pm

Obama was asked on “Nightline” if he thought no picking Hillary was a mistake .. but he didn’t answer the question!

Posted by: Francisco Cardenas | September 10, 2008, 1:56 pm 1:56 pm

Why didn’t you tell that to Obama? You should of said then: “Thanks man, but no thanks, pick Hillary, she is better qualify to be your VP”.
But what you actually said is: “Why it took you so long?”
Go figure….
BTW, I don’t think he can drop out and pick Hillary. And if I was Hillary, after all this staging phony roll call on DNC, I would of say “NO”. Women has to have her honor and dignity. Which I think she does.

I think Biden is a better choice than Hillary. He’s much better looking and looks a lot better in a suit! Less wrinkles too!

Posted by: dl | September 10, 2008, 1:57 pm 1:57 pm

Biden is full of bad comments, “Obama America!” “Clinton is better vp than me”, more fuel for McCain to use. It just gets worst and worst for Obama.

Posted by: ElectionPIMP | September 10, 2008, 1:58 pm 1:58 pm

I think Biden was saying exactly what he meant and I really like him for it. Hillary was smeared throughout the primary by Obama and his followers.
The truth is in the great things she has done over the years. Her record was demeaned and minimized by Obama in the primary. They will try to do the same thing now to Palin. Obama’s advantage has always been a media willing do anything or say anything to get him elected.
Lot’s of voters do their research and no longer trust the tabloids.

Posted by: Jackie | September 10, 2008, 1:59 pm 1:59 pm

Unbelievable! Only Joe Biden could say something like this that could be so damaging! Barack Obama insulted women Hillary supporters once, now Biden has done it again. I knew it would not take long for Biden to put both feet squarely in his mouth. Senator Obama, you are going to have to live with this man as your side kick…but only for 55 more days.

Majority political strategists will agree on one thing: selecting running mate is the first most important decision presidental candidates made. Now can someone tell me how Sen. Obama who keep shouting judgement is more important than experience made this decision. Sen. Hillary is more qualify , better pick according to Sen. Biden but wasn’t even considered.
Is this mean Sen. Obama make a real bad jugdment according to Sen. Biden ?

Posted by: maleasiansmoker | September 10, 2008, 2:01 pm 2:01 pm

Now instead of putting lipstick on a pig, they’re putting it on Hillary Clinton (who was the better candidate by a long shot).
Way to go Democrats! You think telling the media you aren’t running the best candidates is the way to win?

Posted by: Amaryllis | September 10, 2008, 2:01 pm 2:01 pm

Make no mistake about this….Palin’s record is not extremist…it is just the oppisite of Obama’s ….McCain represents the true center of ideology….where most voter’s live.

Posted by: Jackie | September 10, 2008, 2:01 pm 2:01 pm

I think Biden was just being humble and being nice to Hillary.
Why aren’t we analyzing every word that comes out of McCain and Palin’s mouth. They’ve told the same lies in their stump speeches for the last 2 weeks. Let’s break it down and call them to task for every lie.

You PUMAS are a joke. If Obama wins, Hillary will be Sec. Of State, one of the most powerful positions in the world. But you want to help palin as if she is somehow equal to Hillary. You are a disgrace to Hillary’s legacy, and a bunch of whiney children. Not to mention stupid for going against your own beliefs just like a pouting child.
Joe’s chilvary in his statement today is truly kind. He will be skewered for it, but that will not erase the kindness in that man. He is a true leader and statesman. If Hillary does not help her party now, she does not desverve the friendship with Biden.

To moral Americans, lying your way to office will lead to nothing but more dysfunctional government where politics comes before governance.
Anyway, this stupid non-troversy du jour is the extent of the McCain campaign’s grasp of the issues.
When they told you the election would not be based in issues, did you think they were lying?
Heh. I guess that’s their only true statement this year and they’ve used up their quota.

Calm down people, Biden is trying to be humble. Right now the focus of the election is on Obama and Palin. This speaks volumes about McCain, as it is clear that the Republicans are more excited about their VP candidate than McCain himself. Just wait until the media have a chance to examine Palin’s record. Just because she is a woman does not mean she get a pass from media scrutiny.

Posted by: tony | September 10, 2008, 2:11 pm 2:11 pm

This kind of reporting is ridiculous and a discredit to the media. Matthew Jaffe should be ashamed of himself. Who knows how this statement actually came out of Biden’s mouth from this report? It’s twisted the minute it hits the paper. Come on, ABC. I expect better from you. Do the country a favor. Stick to the issues. Don’t become “ambulance chasers.”

The 2008 presidential election is the saddest chapter in the Democratic Party history. The strongest and most qualified candidate, Hillary Clinton, was shoved aside to give way for the weakest candidate, Barack Obama.
As a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter who has full confidence in her abilities, it hurts me to witness the leadership of the Democratic Party handing the 2008 victory to the Republicans. Unfortunately, I, too, am one of the millions who will be voting for McCain/Palin for lack of a better choice.
What the Democratic Party and the media did to Hillary is such a disgrace. I am a middle-aged military man who saw my wife crying her eyes out the day Hillary dropped out of the race. My wife was crying not only because the most qualified woman candidate was pushed out of the race, but also because the Democratic Party’s real chance for victory was denied.
With so many questionable associations and shifting positions, I can not vote for Obama. Since I know what service to country is, John McCain will be my choice for president of our beloved country in November 2008.
I hope and pray that Hillary Clinton will run in 2012. She must! We need her to heal the severe wounds that the Democratic Party and the media inflicted on her and her supporters.

Posted by: Dwight | September 10, 2008, 2:12 pm 2:12 pm

Breath deep people…now exhale and reread his comment. Wow…it’s so typical of the conservatives to ‘spin’ any comment made by Obama or Biden. He’s merely stating that Hillary is just as qualified as he is. Now you people have him ‘dropping out’ You PUMAS need to get over yourselves. It was Hillary’s decision not to be vetted in the first place. PLUS…she and Bill didn’t want to divulge records as a part of being fully vetted…ie….
Bill’s donor list to his WJK foundation, Hillary’s records as First Lady, and records from Pres Clinton’s presidential library in Arkansas. They have yet to give complete ’07 tax returns. What do they still have to hide? Campaign fraud maybe? They’ve been sued in the State of Calif for Hillary’s 2000 Senate election. Trial should start in Nov………after the election, which was by her request.
I have no doubt Hillary will have a top position in Obama’s administration where she can continue her pledge to the people. Does that matter to the PUMAs? I doubt it…they just want a woman and from what I can see, it doesn’t matter which woman, as long as she has a vagina.

- Hillary fought so hard for woman and Palin enjoy the fruits.
- Obama claims good judgement and make a lousy decision.
- McCain proud of experience but make a sensation pick.

It would be nice if Obama followed up Biden’s admission with one of his own that Hillary would be a better candidate than him to ease himself out of the top for the 2nd spot on the ticket. That would definitely suck all the air out of the Palin’s phenomenon.

Posted by: chattyway | September 10, 2008, 2:28 pm 2:28 pm

Oh I love that Joe…and I really believe he has more affection and respect for John McCain and their 33 year old friendship. As for Hillary, Biden is dead on…I was a Hillary supporter and watched the media and BO campaign kick her in the teeth. I switched to McCain the day Hillary dropped out and contributed that day. The Palin addition is just icing on the cake for me.
I KNOW in the post analysis of this election….Obama’s loss will be completely attributed to his dissing the gal who SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE DEM PREZ NOMINEE, and he never even thought of her for VP…never. His ego is limitless….thank God, McCain isn’t like that. Republicans heaved a sigh of relief the day Biden was announced (or should I say the 3AM text (dig to Hillary). Hillary, in every poll was the one to beat McCain, but this is the Affirmative Action year for Dems, and it’s the wrong black guy to be our first black Pres. Sorry.

Oh but you want to convince me she’s experienced enough to be VP? Give me a break! Oh and now McCain camp says Democrats are in Alaska looking into Palin’s record, maybe they wouldn’t.

To those of you who are voting for McCain and his cardboard cutou, listen closely.
By voting for McCain it only reiterates the critics that you were never for Hillary’s stance on the issues or her devotion to women’s causes. Also, by voting for McCain you support him when he goes against all women’s rights. The ‘right to vote’ will be the next right he will take away. Check his voting record towards women and children. Take a deep hard look at your mothers, sisters, aunts, and daughters. Look them in the eye and tell them you are voting for a man who will overturn Roe vs Wade and the woman’s right to make her own choice. Tell them McCain’s gov’t will make their choices for them.
Also tell them their school programs will be cut out of the McCain budget and they won’t be able to play afterschool sports. And please don’t forget to tell them NOT to get sick, ‘cuz you don’t Pres McCain said we all have to fend for ourselves—no more health insurance. If you have teenage kids, remind them to register for the draft. Make sure you tell them to toughen up because it’s a huge possibility you’ll never be able to see them again.
Don’t pass your ignorant self defiance along to your children. Think about them and not your own self egoes.
If you don’t believe me, you’re more than welcome to educate yourself on McCain’s stance on the issues. Just don’t read them on his website, once a liar always a liar.

Sen. John McCain has proved himself to be unqualified and incapable of effectively leading the United States of America into the future by, among other things, his reckless, irresponsible, impulsive, and dangerous judgment in picking Sarah Palin as his running mate. Sarah Palin is a minor distraction not even worthy of discussion. However, Sen. John McCain has shown his contempt for the intelligence of the American people by making this unequivocally cynical decision to use an unknown, untested, and corrupt, serial liar like Sarah Palin to deceive voters into believing he stands for change. Sen. John McCain also disgraced himself by demonstrating a lack of courage in his choice of Sarah Palin at the last moment over much more qualified Republican men and women simply because she appeals to the base of the Republican Party, a group of voters he was going to lose. What Sen. John McCain doesn’t understand is that by appeasing the extreme right wing of the Republican Party, he is going to lose the voters that really count, i.e., moderate and independent voters, and, in doing so, certainly lose the election. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Gawd, Joe, shut UP. Don’t give Obammy ideas. He can’t make a decision now. If you suggest you will step down he will only say ‘PRESENT”.
I like Joe because at least he doesn’t have a vagina. At least I THINK Hitlery has a vagina. I hope she does, anyway. Could it be that Bill really gave birth to Chelsey???

That goes to show you the only way to really fix things is to do away with both parties start new ones. Like other countries do and like we did many years ago (wig party). Fire them all elect new one if you want real changes.
Country is falling apart economy is slow yet these officials still raising 100 million plus just to be Pres. Government and big businesses need overhauled. Corrupt business men over the last 20 years is killing us slowly.

Joe, why did you accept the nomination then? Better yet, Obama, why didn’t you pick her? Oh yea, you were too arrogant and too good for her. After all, you “beat the Clinton machine.” You won the battle, but you’ve lost this war badly.
And to those who say “she woulda galvinized the GOP,” because Sarah Palin hasn’t more than HRC ever could have? Ummm, if Obama had picked HRC, there’d have been no Palin VP pick!

Posted by: Jay | September 10, 2008, 3:27 pm 3:27 pm

Ya see what I mean! Reading the comments here, I’m shocked that there are still so many Obama supporters that refuse to admit that Hillary would have put the Democratic Ticket so above the republicans, that no matter what they did, democrats would have been a lock. Obamas refusal to give Hillary the VP slot, compounded by the fact that John McCain had the guts to put Palin up in the VP slot, might make a democratic presidency at the earliest 12 years away. It’s too late to add Hillary now so the only hope you Hillary fans and the democratic party have now is an Obama defeat in November, and a Hillary win in 2012. You see, I’m a Hillary supporter and I’m NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA. I don’t care what the polls say, there are so many of us out there that feel the same way as I do, I can’t believe that this election is as close as the polls say. I know so many die hard democrats that, because of the DNC, and the treatment of Hillary, and the Superdelegates, they are not voting for Obama either. It sounds to me like the only issue for democratic women that are still holding them to Obama is the Abortion issue. It’s only a matter of time before they realize that no matter who is in office, nobody is going to be crazy enough to take away a womens right to choose. There are many, many republicans that agree with a womens right to choose.

Obammy ain’t totally stupid. He knows that to pick Hitlery then he just as well move into the VP House. Bill would be calling all the shots, in between Intern visits.
Yes, we really need the Klintons back in the white house. It has been soooooo dull with the Bush’s there.
At least with Palin there, she can teach all the white house help how to shoot. They can get rid of some of the secret service.

The problem is that HRC is NOT more qualified than Senator Biden. In fact, Biden is more qualified than either HRC or Senator Obama. HRC was a lawyer and First Lady and used that connection to get herself elected Senator. Being someone’s spouse is not a qualifier. Senator Obama, as is becoming increasingly evident, has not really done much of anything except benefit from patronage. Neither HRC nor Obama has done anything on their own.

Posted by: Mike | September 10, 2008, 3:48 pm 3:48 pm

Obama made the right choice. Biden is a GREAT VP pick and when voters really examine the choices I have confidence that they’ll vote for the Best candidates. It’s getting more and more obvious every day that mccain is the guy with the bad judgement in picking palin.

i think what Biden is trying to do is appeal to hillary supporters, i respect that he said that it shows hes got symphony,heart,respect and passion towards hillary.also he may have said that to try and wipe off all the so called “sexism” remarks that the repubs think obama/biden have said about palin.
its too late now for biden to step down it would show weakness and disbelief towards the obama campaign.i cant wait to hear what McLiein’ has to say about this.

“Make no mistake about this,” Biden responded. “Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America

Joe Biden is a good man. He’s just hinting of being replaced by Hillary so he could run for re-election instead and keep his power/seniority in the Senate. As a seasoned politician, he doesn’t need a crystal bowl. He knows that the “ship” is starting to tilt and just a matter of time before it sinks.

All this noise from ABC News/DailyKos/Drive-by media about Sarah Palin getting a degree from Idaho. In contrast, Joe Biden barely got through college, Cs, and Ds, plus an F in ROTC. Also faked his way past the draft board. Lied to the media about his law school class rank, grades, and IQ. Son Hunter became a Sr. VP at MBNA Bank in his 20s, to lobby Dad for bankruptcy reform.

Obama and team are quick to accuse everyone of racism, going so far as to put words into others’ mouths, but when they make a veiled slight we’re not supposed to think it’s contrived. Please! Obama painted Clinton as a racist. Clinton said it’s a “fairytale” Obama got this far referring to his “tissue-paper thin resume” (NY Post) not anything about race. The lipstick comment was 100% planned – the campaign had it as a new jab in the rally speeches. Biden had a similar lipstick line the same day. These people know exactly how to make a jab and then whistle that it wasn’t them, you can’t prove anything. I don’t trust or like Obama at all and I’m not dumb enough to think someone who was a committee organizer when he was 25-27 should tout that as major experience. The only other experience he has is voting present 135 times in the state senate and running for president as soon as he got into the US Senate. John McCain, in contrast, has a history of speaking up for what he believes in and surviving being a POW for 5 and 1/2 years and coming out to live a healthy and successful life committed to our country is the leadership our country should be proud to call our own.

The wheels are coming off the Obama train. I think Biden wants to jump the train before it comes off the tracks. Obama has made a critical mistake and we should not question the messiahs judgment? Hillary wants to run in 2012 so my bet is that she would not take the VP along with Obama. She will be content to let him go down in flames.
The Democrat party is splitting at the seams and they now recognize just how poorly they have chosen with regards to their front runner.

Posted by: doctorf | September 10, 2008, 4:31 pm 4:31 pm

You know, after hearing Biden say that, it really does seem that team Obama plans on pulling the old switcheroo and replacing Biden with Hillary.
Problem with that is, although it will definitely shift the spotlight back on his campaign, it will also be seen by many as a sign of weakness and low confidence.
Honestly, if that were to happen, the ticket should be Clinton/Obama and not Obama/Clinton. Otherwise, who’s going to trust a president who is constantly second guessing himself and basing his decisions on whatever’s popular at the moment. That’s not a sign of a strong leader. Besides, Hillary is indeed the one with experience and would make a better leader than Obama, that much is true. Of course, in the wake of Sarah Palin it will look more like an act of desperation than a bold decision.

If Obama won I wouldn’t put it past him to bankroll someone to run against Hillary for her senate seat, they are already gonna kick Liberman out.

Let’s put the blame where it belongs: Obama’s lousy judgment (as usual)in picking his running mate.
Biden, the respected senior senator, is saying a lot about what he thinks of Obama, on record:
“Sen. Obama said he would do everything possible to end the war in Iraq….yet he failed to show up to vote for Sen. Biden’s critical amendment to provide a political solution in Iraq” Luis Navarro, Biden’s campaign manager, 9/26/07;
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate, bright, and clean…. , but it’s doubtful whether voters are going to elect a one-term guy….I don’t recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic.” (New York Observer).
“The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain.” MSNBC, 10/30/07
I’m wondering when the McCain campaign is going to start using the above in their ads?

Wonder what they will do. They cannot say he steps back to take care of family matters (his wife died in a crash long ago), saying he is ill, nah, won’t work. Looks like Obama is stuck with him.
May he will be sick only on October 3rd so they can ask Hillary to do his VP talk with Palin instead…

Given all the airtime that has been given over to Obama’s “judgement” this move to setup the exit of Joe Biden and the ascension of Hillary Clinton goes a long way to showing the caliber of the man Obama really is. He dumped his minister when he became inconvenient, and now he is moving to dump Biden. It is pathetic. And it would be the most aggregious pandering and sexist move ever, the very thing they have been accusing McCain of doing by picking Palin in the first place. IF this switch does happen, far from galvanizing support, it will only serve to make Obama look indecisive and frankly sexist. This will only hurt him. He made his Biden…er bed…he is going to have to sleep in it.

This happens almost every time! The Dems always have the toughest time coming together to do what is most important: to win. They always end up divided as a party and it costs them elections. Clearly Hillary would have been a better pick to solidify the women’s vote, but the campaign for the nomination was so fierce between Hilary and Barack that they couldn’t see the bigger picture which is putting a Dem in office!

You can’t make this stuff up.
HRC was passed by due to too much testosterone (and the Bill issue).Biden was chosen to make a new lefty look more like an old acceptable lefty. So, the story will play out again: dems keep picking candidates in their own image, understanding little about America. Hence, Dukakis and Gore and Kerry and Barama. When will they gain the empathy and sensitivity to appreciate America as it is? No time soon. One can only hope and pray that Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin will do as they profess. As in the height of the Reagan era, America moved to the right and bettered for it. Recall also the demonization which prevailed. The slow and steady swing of the pendulum of America thankfully settles at the best mid-point in all the world.

What is this? Dems whining about their VP pick now? This is too funny. All of the sudden, their messiah is floundering and they want to prop his dying campaign up by replacing the VP pick after the fact.
“Desperate”, I seem to recall some liberal article with that word in the headline not long ago. Yes, someone is desperate, and I think everyone can tell it’s the left as they scrabble to find a way to prop up their crass and classless candidate.

Posted by: Karl, Nashville, TN | September 10, 2008, 4:43 pm 4:43 pm

What you lefties seem to be missing is that the Palin pick excited the conservative base – not as much the female vote. A switch to Hillary now will do very little to change that. But Obama, after all, is the agent of change, right?
Sure – he changes every time it is expedient to do so.
One other note… Obama claims that pointing out his support for the sex education bill that included K – 12 aged children is an unfounded vicious attack.
Pleeeeeeeze! The bill is on public record. He voted for it. So why is pointing that out an attack?
(oh… and we can’t bring up his middle name either)
Look… McCain is no hero to me but Obama will lead this country so far down the dirt road that we may never get things right again. He’s a Marxist and by no means presidential. Who wants a whiner as president? Answer: A whiner of course!

Biden choice was the right choice at the time it was made, which is why McCain flipped the script with Palin. He lost and knew it.
The convention and Obama speech scared McCain, Joe smoked him out, filled him with doubt. So he ran to a new mommy to save him, again. Its really pathetic. But the good part is now Republican sexist personal destruction politics is off the table, regarding Hillary.
Now its a new election Joe is a pro he will do the right thing.

Problem Dems have is they have talked about, the economy, healthcare, education and Social Security for 50 years and have solved nothing. They still talk about it. They states and cities they run are cesspools of failure. People are beginning to figure it out and what an empty suit spewing the same Liberal playbook Obama is. Biden is a retread that even his own party would not even nominate. I just hope the cities dont burn when Obama blows this coronation.

The reason BHO did not pick Hillary is because all the DEMS said “don’t”, they said they would not vote for BHO if she was on the ticket. They said she would try to take over everything. Now they are trying to back track and say he should have picked her. She should tell them to get lost!

Most Dems now know that Hillary would be a better option as President. Perhaps Obama could be convinced to step aside so she can run. There have been alot of skeletons in his attic that were exposed after the initial primaries, and he failed to pull the majority votes from the larger states. Time for Obama to step aside for the sake of the DNC. He has two children that tire him and Michelle out that he can hardly keep up, and he has time to run again later for President once he builds up his Senate voting record.

This remark is stupid, the Democrats picked the wrong man for the Presidency to represent them. What happened is Barack works well in a controlled environment like Chicago politics where the powerful are shakers and movers, even when caught they keep the game going.
What happened on the way to the forum is the Democrats wanting control so bad the forgot that just because Barack is black does not make him the best choice. Yet they were overwhelmed by the fact they might have the first Black guy to offer as the Presidential offering. There are so many other people of color that have less baggage, real credentials and would have had a better chance of making the cut. But they did not do this and it will cost them the election. Biden is just another example of stupid choices on Obamas part, a loudmouth, self-centered joke of a man.

If Obama was to drop Joe B all it would prove to me is that he can not make a decision. And do we want that in the White House? It would also be a slap to Hiliary making her second choice and if she took it, it would almost tell me she would do anything to get back into the White House. As Obama did say it would only be the same old stuff if she got back in and that is true. Hanging out with the good old boys of Washington, and that does not make change.

Wouldn’t the delegates who represent the voters who voted in the primaries and caucuses be expected to vote on the replacement.
It looks like biden is in it for the long haul to me. At this late hour how could the OHB ever be looked at as a viable candidate worthy of our confidence. If he second guesses his running mate at the 11th. hour what other 11th. hour crawfishing is in his future?

So now Joey is seemingly prepping himself for an out to salvage Obama? Do you really think the Clintons have forgotten the primaries and the salt in the wounds?
Would Obama allow the Clintons to step in and rui his presidency should he get elected? I doubt that. He would be known as the Manchurian Candidate if that were to happen. He would be the personal puppet of the Clintons and he would have to try and drive their agenda. The Oval office might be his only room to just sit and watch as the Clintons drive their policies right in front of his face. He would never allow that. His ego would drive him to insanity. He would never be taken as a serious candidate again in his lifetime. He may even lose his Senate bid next time around just because he let his Liberal base see his paper thin make up.
The Dems are seeing their mistakes now. NObama was not the “One” after all.
The primaries were not completed and HRC dropped out of the race for the good of the Dem party. Now it is too late for them to be taken as a serious campaign.
Americans would be able to see through their veneer and that would only make their cause seem even more Hilarious(pun intended).

Posted by: Gorio | September 10, 2008, 5:05 pm 5:05 pm

That will be 20 million less votes than the big loser Kerry (ALF – the alien) got. Osama Hussein Obama, you’ll get the 3 electoral votes of DC but that is it!!

Obama should be smoking McCain, but he is a rookie and it will be close. Hillary is going to say a few nice words for Obama, but she is far too selfish to actually help him win and delay her candidacy for 8 years. Biden was telling that guy that Hillary is a good person in his estimation. If he agrees, then he is saying Hillary is bad. He had to say that and no matter what he said – he pays for it.

Dennis Kuchinch was solidly behind HRC on everything. She has even come to Cleveland to campain for him. He runs his little presidential bid for spending money and a diversion from all the locals that want to complain. He has given her more support over the years than Ted could ever come up with.
Why won’t she make Dennis the Mennis her running mate?

A word of caution however. Obama et al are promising enough largesse from the public trough to buy the election. And that’s not to mention the hordes of lefty Obamaniacs who have no intention of making a reasoned vote. The inmates could be running the asylum!

Posted by: Honest John | September 10, 2008, 5:13 pm 5:13 pm

Obama supporters might find comfort in believing that true Hillary supporters would never support McCain. But the fact is that they would. When Obama did not come out in SC and defend Hillary’s MLK remark and allowed his campaign to lable Hillary a racist over it, that was the end for me. Now it is NOway, NOhow and NObama. Just think, after Obama loses, he can repair his “fractured” 20 year relationship with his racist mentor, Rev Wright and Obama, Wright and Farrakhan can go out to dinner to try to figure out why the blue-eyed-white-devils did not buy into what Obama was selling.

I think there is a chance that Biden will step aside for some made-up reason so that Hillary could step in. Maybe that’s what tomorrow’s Obama/Bubba lunch date is about. But…would Bill and Hillary take the bait? If Obama wins Hillary is out of the running until 2016. If he loses with her on the ticket, she will look like a loser being beaten by Palin. Either way, things will be tough for her in 2012.
If Obama throws Biden under the bus, I hope the media will curcify him for pandering to women. I think women and the rest of the voting public will see through the ploy and classify him as what he really is…just another scheming politician.

Posted by: John from Alaska | September 10, 2008, 5:13 pm 5:13 pm

I suspect many on this forum pretending to be Democrats are republicans! Democrats, let s do the same to the republican blogs.
Hillary and her supporters wanted a white female president os bad that they were willing to trash barack Obama in the process. Many of these white voters are the so called Reagan Democrats that vote republican anyway.
So they are fair weather Democrats that vote against their own self interests. Lower and middle income white voters casts votes for the party of big business that is selling them down the tube. Just ask Ron Paul.
Ok vote for McCain who is an imposter just as George Bush pretended to be a good old boy. He is an elite product of Yale and old money. He drive a pickup and lives on old farm to fool the voters. Why are white Americans so gullible?
Black Americans have been voting for white Presidents since they got the right to vote. African Americans have the good sense to know right from wrong and who is going to lead this country.
White America, you voted for george Bush See what he has done. Are you going to be fooled over and over and over. When you do something over and over and don’t get the rsult that you expected, is that the definition of insanity?

STANDBY. With his poll results sagging after McCain’s brilliant pick of Sarah Palin, Obama, who has repeatedly demonstrated a loyalty ONLY UNTO HIMSELF, will soon jettison Joe Biden, under the guise of an alleged scandal; and, select another VP running mate. Apparently Joe feels the shive coming? The next choice will be a woman to counter Sarah; but, not Hillary since a hate-filled Michelle would never tolerate that choice. Greg Neubeck

It’s a sorry state in America when clearly the most qualified man to be President of the United States, based on Experience, Record, and Resume; Joe Biden: can’t get nominated by his own party. Much less, elected by a massive majority to be President.
He even has to make excuses for not being a political pig like Palin.
America deserves the puppet government we have as this blog clearly indicates.
Most Americans are so dumb they couldn’t find their a– with both hands. Just a bunch of ignorant headline readers. No international experience, no financial experience, no trade policy knowledge, or just plain common sense.
Just like our government Americans are all fools who will believe anything they read as long as it is what they want to believe.
No health care, shortest life span in any major country, and nearly broke fighting to help keep the Waebe religion in charge of Saudi Arabia.
Stupid, unbelievably stupid, Best Government Oil Money Can Buy, and fully supported by their partners: the religious Christian Waebe right wing cult leaders.
THIS IS NOT A FOOTBALL GAME!
YOU ARE NOT PULLING FOR YOUR FAVORITE TEAM!
FOR GOD’S SAKE (Per Palin speaking in tongue), LOOK WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY!!!!!
We’re broke, our houses are being foreclosed on, 6 to 10% of us are out of work, our jobs are in China, everything we have is made in China, we had to borrow money from China to fight the war in Iraq, most of us will die early, our kids future is gone, the banks are failing, we’re on the verge of the biggest depression since 1929. Wall Street is run by massive off shore corporations that don’t care about us, and have enough lobbyist to make sure your vote doesn’t count for sh–.

If Obama dumps Biden overboard and picks Hillary now (assuming she would even say yes), it would be a huge admission of fault and look absolutely desperate. Not to mention slimy politics as usual, win at all costs, even if it means throwing your VP under the bus for all the world to see.
But don’t put it past the snake oil salesman, he changes positions on everything else. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Obama pull this off, but it would be an unmitigated disaster.

Come on. Even if the only times you’ve heard Biden speak were either his VP roll-out speech or his convention speech, you’d still be able to recognize he likes to make self-deprecating jokes about himself.
Humility from one VP candidate is openly mocked, while sarcasm and lies from the other VP candidate are lauded. Yet people still pretend they want politics to change. Sure. Maybe it’s time America started walking the walk.

Posted by: Andrew | September 10, 2008, 5:26 pm 5:26 pm

Honest Republican here – Biden was being polite by defending Hillary. He just cant do it in anything under 10,000 words, so that is what got him here. The Obama camp is not imploding, but it has peaked. Obama is a thoughtful, well spoken, decent guy, nice family. But his only experience is really running for office. And his ideas are not new – its old fashion government program liberalism, with high taxes to go along with it. He is not a Muslim, he is not a terrorist, he is not a bad person. He is just wrong on these key issues of proper war strategy, energy policy and tax/economy stuff. I hope that the anti-Obama people posting here will stop with the ridiculous name calling and defeat Obama’s ideas – it can happen.

Joe is waving the white flag and admitting Obama made a mistake in not picking Clinton. That he couldn’t forsee the political landscape and arrogantly took for granted the Hilary votor. That’s an admission that Obama exhibited poor judge of character in selecting Biden, this calls to judgement Obama’s . That he couldn’t work a deal with Hilary calls to question his negotiation skills. Consider the McCain is the better choice.

Biden pays Hillary a sincere compliment and the McCain campaign interprets it wrong. Maybe McCain is becoming forgetful given his old age and health problems. It is clear that neither he nor Palin has anything useful to say on issues of substance to this campaign, so they are just trying to bark in all directions hoping that Americans will get distracted. Let’s not make the same mistakes of the past eight years. The economy has taken a major tumble and we have spent 3+ trillion dollars in Iraq (taxpayer money that is lining the pockets of rich oil executives and other McCain cronies).

Joe Biden was trying to send a plea/apology out to the Hillary supporters to come back/don’t flip to the other side. He’s not stepping down. That would make Obama become weaker to the voter. This is very funny in some ways too. Wasn’t it last week, some betting sites were taking bets on who McCain would replace Palin with. Now, the tables are turned. What a difference a week’s momentum makes. Joe Biden should have never insulted women by saying that Palin’s choice has set women’s back. Biden may feel comfortable around the liberal leftist women but not around the average american woman.

Who decided to bring him out at the 04 convention as the “Rising Star?” Who decided to bring the party so damn far left that it is now in line with the communist party? (Think I’m wrong, go to http://www.cpusa.org, that’s the communist party’s website. Compare their positions with the DNC’s positions) Why does Reid and Polosi get to dictate far left positions on everything and all the party members follow like robots? They’ve lost me.

I am amazed at why HRC is considered larger than life. She blew her own campaign, she ignores the fact a whole lot of women are against unbridled abortion and that no election changes it anyway (Reagan, Bush 41, and W never managed to do it. What makes them think McCain has the Midas touch?) 41% of Americans Agree with McCain on abortion and another 12% with Palin. Only 19% agree with Hillary and 4% with Obama’s crazy infanticide stand. 24% haven’t decided which means it is not a critical issue. The fact is that McCain showed respect for women and Palin isn’t carrying his water – she is free to be her own woman. HRC would never carry Obama’s water. Further, HRC has limited success in the Senate and couldn’t convince Bill to clamp down on terrorists, which led to 9/11. Fowler had the right idea but the wrong party when he thanked God for Gustav on the first day of the Republican convention. God is answering prayer to keep the deceptive Obama out of the White House and wouldn’t you know he is using a woman to do it. Actually, I’d love to see Palin and HRC in a debate. I bet Palin would remember if snipers were attacking her. In fact, if they were, I think she would have shot at them through the windows of Air Force One!

People, if you are confused by Biden’s comments, you simply do not understand the principles of Leadership and humility. The best of leaders are those that are humble, well able but not taking themselves as deserving to be in those high positions, but simply as a previlege, thinking highly of others, even those they lead, knowing that they are simply serving. Otherwise they would be proud, thinking they are there because they are better than everybody else. Biden is a true leader, folks. Given his CV, he could have as well said he is better positioned, but humiliy, which some are reading as a gaffe, is what makes him talk highly of Hillary, and others for that matter. Besides his CV, he squarely beats Palin, who is proud enough to make fun of someone who humbles himself to identify with and serve the less previleged in his community, even when he had a chance to work in previleged, highly paying positions in the corporate world. To the GOP, the lowly community organisers and others who volunteer to help out the poor are not fit to lead this country.

Posted by: Oha | September 10, 2008, 5:42 pm 5:42 pm

Here’s the interesting part – if Joe Biden steps aside and BO DOES ask HRC to join, really, what does that say?
For all of the complaints that were levied against McCain that he picked a woman for political reasons, what would this maneuver be? It would be seen for the absolute political stunt it would be to try to get BO up in the polls.
And the sad thing is, I really like Joe Biden. I have always thought highly of him. I’m a republican, and frankly, I think HE should have been at the top of the ticket, not BO.
For Biden to take this route is just disappointing to me. Democrats lost all moral authority to talk about how unqualified Palin is when they cast HRC, who is tremendously well-qualified (though I don’t care for her policies) aside. If HRC is smart, and she is, I think she wouldn’t touch this mess with a 10 foot pole, and set herself up for 2012.

Posted by: MAS | September 10, 2008, 5:42 pm 5:42 pm

If the most important decision the presidential nominee makes first is to pick a qualified running mate, what does that say about McCain’s pick of Palin — a small-time mayor with no foreign policy or national security experience. Best qualities: hunts, fishes, and arranges shotgun weddings.
Her main clain to fame: she sold the former Alaska governer’s plane on E-bay
…which, as has been reported, was a lie. Rejected funding for Bridge to Nowhere…another lie.
McCain is a weak sister who, apparently, needs sister Palin by his side to whip up a crowd…by lying.
Question: Who’s running for president here — Palin or McCain. Either way,
the country loses.

Do you really want a Supreme Court that’ll railroad your teenaged daughters into shotgun weddings? An administration that’ll draft your kids for wars with Iran?

Biden straight up?
If he means what he says, he is an empty suit.
Remember Congress has a 15% approval rating.
Biden voted 0% against earmarks, Obama 10%, and McCain 100%. Obama voted FOR the bridge to nowhere and has the nerve to criticize Palin for originally supporting it! Where is CNN when you need them????

If Biden is found shot 27 times in the head with a single shot, .44 Mag pistol in his ‘weak’ hand, sitting with a clean suicide note pinned to his back, in Ft. Marcy Park on a park bench with no blood on or around him, I think that Obama needs to “one-up” McCain and put a lesbian on the ticket. It might just be time for Oprah to “come out dat closet, girl”! Gayle could become the 1st, First Butch, since Eleanor Roosevelt.
No matter what happens, I just can’t see Hillary on the ticket with Obama. I mean, Barack would be afraid to eat or drink anything on the campaign trail or at the White House if they won, and might succomb to his sudden onset of anorexia. His disorder would most likely be rooted in a fear of poisoning, not a fear of looking fat.

All of the Odumblol lovers, Hillary will not align herself with Obama as vp. He would apppear even weaker than we already know he is. The odds are smart people will understand they have to put Odumblo in office to get Hillary and they cant win that way. Hillary knows she stands a good chance in 12 head to head with McCain and or Palin. Aligning yourself with the likes of loser Odumblo would be political suicide and Hillary is to smart or bill is to smart to allow that.
Maybe Odumblo will talk power hungry bill into running, what a joke the DNC has become.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Joe decides for the party he must step down,Obama then “needs” a replacement and Hillary steps in.
No here is how it works in her favor. This would be obviously be the worst thing Obama could do, it would just cement his total ineptitude, he’d lose and she’d be able to say “Hey I tried my best, we lost oh and btw you should have picked me in the first place.”
Now I say that only because Obama is on his way to see Bill in NYC. Why would Obama GO to Bill for anything at this point?
Improbable..so was Sarah Palin.

Posted by: Jakl | September 10, 2008, 5:53 pm 5:53 pm

If McCain loves Hillary so much, he should have picked her as his VP. Otherwise, he should keep his mouth shut and focus on campaigning for Presidency. McCain, stop slinging the mud. You began the campaign as a decent person – start telling us about what you plan to do and stop following the Rove playbook of sliming your opponent. Obama isn’t talking about your infidelity, temper or poor health and he’s not talking about your wife being a thief and a drug-addict. Get back to policies and capabilities and stop acting like a slimeball.

IT WASN’T OBAMA OR BIDEN, BUT SENATOR MCCAIN AND GOVERNOR PALIN. I WONDER WHAT DRUGS COHEN IS ON? WE DON’T SEE ANY CHANGE COMING FROM OUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THIS CAMPAIGN IS GOING TO GET REAL NASTY AND OBAMA STARTED IT BY CALLING GOVERNOR PALIN A PIG. I WONDER IF HE”S LOOKED AT HIS WIFE”S LIPS LATELY? SHE”S NO GODESS EITHER. STAY FOCUSED OR THINGS WILL GET OUT OF HAND. THIS IS AS GREAT AS BIDEN TALKING A DEFEATEST ATTITUDE TODAY! YOUR ARROGANCE IS GOING TO BITE YOU ALL. DON”T COME CRYING TO ME. WE TOLD YOU THAT SENATOR CLINTON SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE VP SELECTION. NO, YOU WOULDN’T LISTEN AND YOU THREW US TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOW WE ARE GOING TO BECOME A THORN IN YOUR BUTT.

How much does anyone want to bet that after Obama has his lunch meeting with Bill Clinton, that Biden comes down with some undisclosed medical problem that requires him to step down from the position to open the slot for Hillary? Either that or Biden will mysteriously end up getting squashed under a garbage truck and need to be replaced. We’ll see some Putin themed power grab, I assure you. We need a clean slate in Washington, instead of continuing to send back the same bunch of sleazy lawyers who know each and every worm hole to slide through to usurp our laws and our Constitution.

You Dems.. absolutely insane!!
1) Hillary has zero experience to be President. I mean cmon, this isn’t Evita!
2) Hil got half the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY vote.. democratic activists. Not general election voters. Roughly 10% of the electorate voted in the dem primary. She is loved by older democrats, but leaves a very bad taste in the mouth of most non-politicos.
3) Primary voters had the choice between two opposites.. combine them, and you don’t get the sum. They cancel each other out, and each drives off the other’s supporters. It’s like saying if David Duke were his running mate, he’d get the black vote AND the white supremecist vote.
4) If there is ANYTHING that would bring out the vote for Republicans, it is HRC on the ballot! It would be the largest Republican turnout in history!
Almost don’t want to give these tips to the other side.. let them go ahead and do it.. but I can’t contain myself!

Posted by: Ted | September 10, 2008, 6:00 pm 6:00 pm

OK – let’s assume Barry-O crawls on his knees to Hillary, pleading for her rescue (planning a Toricelli maneuver).
Hillary’s calculus:
(1) try to rescue Barry-O from hmself, and save his flagging campaign. Assume success, Barry-O is in the white house for 8 years (or 4, but if 4 then I lose too as his Veep). After 8 years, i.e. 2016, when I’m seventy something, I can take a run at it (knowing of the difficulty of maintaining the presidency for two term parties) OR
(2) I can let that egotist sexist pig fail miserably, the bigots and extremists in my party who have pushed this empty suit will be disciplined (as they should),and I’ll be the one cornonated as the Dem nominee in 2012. I’ll be running against Sarah Palin, since we all know MacCain is not in it as a 2 term president (which means his change agenda will have legs).
The only way Hillary is going to go for #2 is if she gets a “Gordon Brown” promise (i.e. barry-O commits to one term, like Tony Blair in the last UK election) – folks, that is not going to happen with Barry-O’s ego.

It was not too long ago the press was commenting on McCain’s pick for VP and wondering out loud if he made a poor choice and if he might pick someone else. In fact, odds were available as to whether or not she would be replaced.
When will we hear about the odds of Biden being replaced? Not a peep for the press despite Biden’s remarks. Interesting…

Posted by: joe | September 10, 2008, 6:02 pm 6:02 pm

Biden makes an honest statement and the RNC robot turns it around into an accusation. I am a registered Republican- never voted Democratic- and I am sick of the low level of discussion by the Republicans- even Mccain used that “lipstick on pic” last year describing health care. Chickenhawks like Foxy boys Barnes, Kristol, Morris, Oreilly, Hannity who egged on the war, now talk of “victory”after 4100 dead, and could not even keep their lunch in a schoolyard fight just repeat talking points ad infinitem. Thank God I am reading Alexander Hamilton with the TV off. Too bad McCain is not even Mccain anymore-sad,

JUst HOW is Obamma the solution to all our problems? How is he going to give free healthcare, free college, which will cost billions of dollars?
We are stupid because we don’t want someone to tell us how to live our lives. We don’t want someone to take away our Constitutinal Rights. Obammy has already said he is going to do that.

Should Biden be replaced by Hillery we will see just how cynical Obama really is.

I voted for Obama in the primary because I loathe the Clintons. I thought for a moment that decent people had finally taken back the Democratic party. But alas, that doesn’t seem to be the case. What’s with all this sucking up to the Clintons that Obama and Biden are doing? I’m disgusted. Now I’m voting against Obama because the Democrats simply will not repudiate them. They need to realize that as long as they pretend that the Clintons are respectable nobody with any sense is going to vote Democratic. They also need to apologize for acting like the O.J.

If Obama tosses his own VP pick overboard his character, judgment and personal strength will rightly be called into question — not just by the Republicans but by millions in his own party.
If he then puts Hillary into the VP slot he will essentially downgrade himself to second place on his own ticket, a “beard” to Ms. Clinton, who will most certainly have extracted enough concessions and power from Barack to leave him nothing but a pitiful husk.
Just think of it, Dems: we would have our first black president, all right —except he would be a Mr. Bojangles dancing to the Clintons’ tune. Ironic, eh?

This may be Biden looking for an EXIT strategy but think about this. If, just say if, he steps aside and Hillary comes in to take his place. What other message can one assume but that the old Washington Guard had to come in and save or rescue this rookie whom the Media has picked out for the Dems who anointed him as their candidate. The more they diddle with this and the ticket they have chosen, the more amateur and disjointed they look. They already look and act like people who are lost, can’t find the script and have been fumbling around in the dark now for over a week. If these two can’t even handle a pretty woman from Alaska how in the world does anyone really think they are prepared to handle the rest of the world. Speaking of the rest of the World. They all want Obama. That should tell you something and scare the hell out of you. The world wants someone they know they can manuver and pull the wool over. He really is another Jimmy Carter, only worse, if that is even possible.

We all knew that Joe Biden would stick his foot in his mouth at some points in the campaign. We just did not expect it to happen so soon. Another black eye for the Obama campaign. The Obama campaing is disintegrating before our very eyes. All is lost folks. The horror! The horror!

Posted by: Colonel Kurtz | September 10, 2008, 6:14 pm 6:14 pm

How can Obama drop Biden and pick Hillary? That would confirm the fact that his judgment SUCKS since he couldn’t pick the right one the first time (Hillary was the obvious choice), and that makes him a true flip-flopper. What a farce! This whole election has become one big fat fakery and BS festival!

Posted by: John | September 10, 2008, 6:15 pm 6:15 pm

Hillary would have been a better pick than Obama too. Clearly the democrats have a knack for picking losers.

Posted by: NJH | September 10, 2008, 6:15 pm 6:15 pm

You people are insane if you think HRC is gonna come in and be on this losing ticket. She has too much to gain by letting Obama lose and rolling the dice in 2012. To replace biden at this juncture would look like the shallow ploy it is. It would be a total “me too” play and would be political suicide and show that Obama has no loyalty

Posted by: Brad | September 10, 2008, 6:16 pm 6:16 pm

If Hillary has any brains at all, she’d tell Obama to “get bent”. She was treated like a dog and would lose whatever respectability she has by going back to him. Anyone with a brain has already figured out the Clinton’s want Obama to lose. If Obama wins, she’d never have her chance again.

One would presume this was a rally promoted by Democrates. And the Democratic press that searches for truth re: Palin was there. Who is “the man” who made this important comment Mr. ABC reporter Matt Jaffe? Frankly, this comment and JB’s response seem to have been wrapped in pages of the NYTimes. Something smells fishy. Why doesn’t Obama simply bite the bullet and get Hill to replace JB, after he has a (fake) heart attack?

Posted by: Duffus | September 10, 2008, 6:18 pm 6:18 pm

Biden was a really bad choice. This is obvious, and it highlights Obama’s judgement. For many good reasons the Democrats will lose the presidency once again. Fact is the Dems will continue to lose the big office as long as they present weak candidates such as Al Gore, John Kerry and Barack Obama… really, how pathetic.

OK. Let’s pretend I’m part of the ultra-left wing whacko element of my Democratic Party. Black helicopters, conspiracy theories et al. You know, the gang that slowly began taking control of the Party of the People after the Convention of 1968. Joe Biden, by this admission, is secretly opening up the process by which he will step down for health reasons, the good of the party, the good of his family or something. This will open the door for Hillary to step forward and fill the void. She and Senator Obama will kiss and make up (figuratively) and the Dems new dynamite team will reinvent success and sweep to victory in November.

Nice try McCain campaign… I’m so sick of this. It’s driven me away from McCain completely. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad how far into the gutter they’re trying to drag the American people. Somehow I suspected they’d find some way to turn Biden’s nice, amusing, confident answer into a ridiculous talking point — throw anything out there, it might stick. They’d rather have found a way to claim it was sexist (their recent feigned cries of “sexism” degrade true sexism), but they couldn’t quite make that connection. McCain used to be an honorable person. I’ve decided to do what’s in the actual best interest of our country. I’m going to vote for Obama.

Bill-
I have built and sold 5 businesses since 1981. I have never been married.
I pay for my own health insurance and that of my employees. In fact, one of my businesses was selling benefits to corporations. I have an MBA and am a licensed California Real estate Broker (never did this as a business!-got for investing!) and have coompleted the CEBS program from University of Pennsylvania and the financial planning program from the College for Financial Planning.
I worked hard and I have something to show for it. I have worked 7 days a week for years and years.
I don’t want to be penalized for working 7 days a week for 30 years to pay for whiners like you who are jealous and want to whine.
Oh yeah- I was fired in 1981; I had been a Director of Protein Analysis at a well-known start up genetic engineering lab. I was hired for expertise that I had and the guy I was supposed to teach this expertise to refused to do what I told him needed to be done to make a piece of electronic equipment work properly.
The job I had before that was where my predecessor sued for $250,000 and won for wage discrimination.
So when I was fired in 1981 I decided it was a waste of time to look for a job because I felt it was ridiculous to waste my time convincing somebody that I would actually work at their stupid job. So I formed my own company. I knew I’d be great to work for, and I have been for the past 30 years. And I love business and I don’t think I should be penalized for my hard work by paying for health insurance for people who don’t or won’t work.

WOW – Either Biden is completely losing it or this indicates that Biden is done and Hillary is coming in very soon. In either reason, this is not a good thing. Obama never even vetted Hillary. This would look like a desperation move to counter Palin. They would lose even more momentum defending and explaining the change in VP. But an Obama/Hillary administration would be something to see.

LarryMan,
I wasn’t “posing” as you loser. NO ONE would want to dignify themselves with that “honor.” I was calling out to you “Hey Larry Man” so you would read my post.
Well, thanks for wishing death on me. That’s wonderfully compassionate of you.
My personal beliefs are pro-life — however, I’d never impose my own beliefs on someone else when it comes to the delicate subject of carrying to term post-rape or if the carrying mother’s life was at stake bringing the child to term. No, sir, I wouldn’t EVER take the choice away from someone else. EVER.
No matter, you’ve already proven what a slimeball you are with your own insane rants. Furthermore, if you truly blame this congress on your current state, but give the policies of George W. Bush and his cronies a pass – well “Larry Man”, you are a loon.
Now, since your battery is dying, fire down the PC, and go back to banging your head against the cinderblock basement wall. Just bear in mind it’s getting late, and mom probably needs some sleep. She has to be up early to cook you breakfast, do your laundry, and figure out a way to explain to your kids why their mommy is also their sister.

The writing is on the wall can’t you see it?10 Billion a month, it cost’s us in Iraq while they have a surplus of 80 Billion! Is this crazy or what? Gas prices going through the roof! Seeing Bush walking hand in hand with that Saudi King or Prince or whatever he was is disgusting. They all a bunch of crooks. By the way, Bush, Cheney and Rice should have asked me I could have told them that the sunnis and the shiites will NEVER get along. And I am just a little old lady in Wisconsin.(Hah!) But I am well read and still am. I have friends in many places through out Europe mostly and I conversed with them for many years. Anyway, not to get off track here. Barack Obama will be a great President. Joe Biden a good Vice President. He is very experienced in international afairs. He will stand firm next to President Obama and advice him well. (I had a feeling Obama would pick Biden). And Hillary…..She will make a GREAT Secretary of State! I hope Obama appoints her. As for Palin, when I read among other things what she said and I quote: U.S. send troops to Iraq on a “task that is from God”. Well, all I will say to her is “go home lady”.(Hah!) May God protect our troops and bring them home soon….. And in my own little way I work on other senior citizens and on my family an friends to vote for Obama/Biden and why it is so very important that we kick the Republicans out of the White House. You wouldn’t believe just how many I already convinced, a whole lot of them.And I am doing this for my children and my grandchildren, for a better future! Obama you go go go!!!!

I like that McCain runs a tight enough ship that they get responses out fast, even videos within hours, but do they need to respond to everything?

I will say this from the start, I am a conservative. McCain does not float my boat because he is too centrist. I know what HRC stands for even if I dont agree with her. Obama is dangerous, he is incompetent and has extreamly dangeous because of it. HRC needs to stand on the sideline and run again in 2012 and not be associated with the future looser Obama. McCain will win, democrats and true conservatives will not be happy with him. HRC road to the whitehouse will just have to take a 4 year detour.

Biden has the political instincts of a politician and can be ruthless and two-faced in his dealings. But when it comes to dealing with the public he’s typically honest and self-effacing. Being from the deep south I sometimes I wonder if he doesn’t have an inner gentleman yearning to get out. This is merely an example of his public magnanimity. You Democrats shouldn’t criticize him for it, you should showcase him as a grownup.

Dems. I know you would like for Biden to step aside, and Hillary to ride to the rescue, but guess what? I think she’s gonna tell Barry, “Thanks but no thanks”. He had his chance. She has nothing to gain from it, and would have to wait another eight years to run for Pres. If McCain pulls it out, she’ll be waiting for Palin in 2012. She might also look a little desperate too to accept now when she would clearly be Obama’s second choice – unless she works a deal and tells Barry that she’ll accept if they are co-presidents…along with Bill too of course. Hmmm, interesting.

Biden is great man and he was great pick – he is just being nice and humble – something you bitter clingers should recognize but you are too stupid to understand.
Palin is just a flash in the pan – just wait until akk the dirt is dug-up on her.”
Wow, I feel SO enlightened now. Your intelligent, logical argument in favor of your position has CHANGED MY MIND!!
not.

I think his response was masterful. He knew this would be headline material on Drudge.
What did he really do? He displayed humility which is not his strong suit. He sent a message to the 18,000,000 voters that were pulling for Hillary:
“You had good reason to vote for the Senator.
She’s the real deal and could have done at least as
good a job as I could.”
THIS is the wasy dems can get back on the moral high road. Be quick to praise and slow to criticize.
It works every time.

Posted by: JCarpenter | September 10, 2008, 6:45 pm 6:45 pm

Oh, I think Biden is just being a sweetie. He sees all the attention Sarah is getting and is just wondering if he’s hurting the ticket. I say, no Joe, you’re not. Proud that we have a strong VP candidate alongside Obama instead of some bubble head who hides executive e-mails and lies about bridges and airplanes. We’re behind you, Joe…120 percent!

That was one of the dumbest remarks by one of the dumbest men in the Senate. The dems are in full blown panic mode now. They think the Republicans are after Hill’s voters. They may get a few of those, but the big voting block they get with Palin was never in play for the dems. Conservative voters. And they still outnumber socialists by a large margin. So the dems can add Hill, but it won’t help them win anything. Someday, maybe the dems will throw off the socialist yoke, but never with Obama at the head of their ticket. They can call themselves enlightened or progressive or whatever they want but, as Barak Obama likes to say, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig”

I am genuinely sorry that Senator Biden feels that he was not the right choice by Senator Obama and I know exactly how he must feel. Back in 1972 after Democratic Presidential Nominee George McGovern chose me to be his running mate and the convention affirmed me by acclamation I was on top of the world. Later, those vicious lies came out about my prior “problems” but Senator McGovern made me feel great when he told the media that he was behind my 1,000 percent. Whew, what a relief — for a while.

Posted by: Thomas Eagleton | September 10, 2008, 6:47 pm 6:47 pm

Obama’s first decision as Presidential Candidate has turned out to be a Failure. McCain’s first decision as Presidential Candidate has turned out to be a success. McCain has a proven track record of successful decision making, Obama has a proven track record of failed decision making. I.E. 130 times voting ‘present’. I.E. the surge… etc etc

I admire Biden for his candor on this issue. I don’t agree with his policy positions most of the time, but on this issue he is dead-bang right. Hillary Clinton would have made a great VP pick for Obama. If Obama had picked her as his running mate, the Democrats would be in position to win in a 60-40 landslide. The election wouldn’t even be close. But Obama didn’t choose Hillary, and now his campaign resembles a slow moving train wreck.

So let me think. Biden doesn’t think Obama is qualified for President but Obama picked him anyway. Now he thinks Hillary would have been a better pick. What kind of dysfunctional mope is this guy?

It is bad enough that this idiot is our VP nominee but now he is going around openning his stupid mouth telling eberyone that HRC was better than he for VP? What is this idiot thinking?

First, Obama calls Palin a pig and now Joe Biden sticks his foot in his mouth again? We democratits are screwed…

Posted by: Allan | September 10, 2008, 6:51 pm 6:51 pm

Obama is smart? He antagonizes middle America, he doesn’t pick Hillary and her 18 million supporters. He can’t speak unless he has a teleprompter, he thinks we have 60 states, he has to be corrected on his saying he’s a Muslim, he loses the 1st round debate at Saddleback to Mc Cain, he’s STILL has trouble regarding his pastor and his terrorist friends, the man who notes his favorite bible verse is regarding doing unto others leaves his half brother in a Kenyan slum living on $12 a and now his own pick of VP is second guessing his judgement. Yup…Obama is a genius!

Posted by: Jack | September 10, 2008, 6:51 pm 6:51 pm

In the first place, anyone who says they were for Hillary but are now voting for McSame is lying. Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin are diametrically opposed on every single issue. If you were for Hillary you were for the issues she promotes, and if you’re for those issues there is absolutely no way possible you can vote Republican. I think PUMA’s are just another Repuglican trick to try to stir up the pot and see if they can actually get some Hillary people to switch. But if you supported Hillary, really supported Hillary it’s “No way, no how, no McCain and no Palin”

Posted by: KM | September 10, 2008, 6:52 pm 6:52 pm

How in the Wide Wide World of Sports can we believe anything that Biden says? He has been in the Senate for close to 30 years and he thinks that a woman who was only elected because of her husband’s failed presidency would have been a better pick. Gimme a break!

Posted by: John | September 10, 2008, 6:52 pm 6:52 pm

How dare the McCain campaign spin this. Biden just offering a humble response. Biden is the right pick to be vice president. It’s more than can be said about the republican pick for the vice president, which is designed more to win the election rather for the good of the country, turning an election into a popularity contest.

Posted by: Dee Jay | September 10, 2008, 6:55 pm 6:55 pm

C’mon folks. What do you expect? Why is this so surprising?
Remember what Joe said during the primaries;
“Right now I don’t believe he (Senator Obama) is ready (for the office), the Presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”. And Biden reiterated that he stands by that statement.
Remember what HRC said during the primaries;
“Obama simply offer’s rhetoric, but ‘John McCain has never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience.’”
What’s so hard to see? This is a planned failure. Having Barack go on O’Reilly (who heaped parise on him for changing the face of politics) was a way to ease him out of this terrible predicament.
Senator Obama is a great orator. But little more. Everyone knows that, except his potentially riotous radical fans. Fan’s that have devided the Democratic party’s focus for almost two-decades now and who have basically hijacked the DNC this election cycle, threatening to undrmine everything reasonable thinking Democrats have worked hard to gain, for so many years.
The leadership is going to tank this campaign.
Biden threatening to go after the Bush Administration, is another example of an extreme approach that reasonable people can easily see would do more harm than good to the country.
Senator Clinton will not say a negative word about Governor Palin, thereby allowing her to be everything she is capable of being, without fear of being held accountable for her pale reflection of HRC.
Trust me, I know what I’m talking about.

So you disgruntled Hillary supporters are going to consign the country to four more years of misrule just because you can’t get over the fact that she lost? What are you people, 12 years old? Jesus Christ, grow up already. Your candidate lost, so you’re going to take your marbles and go home? Real mature, people, not to mention astonishingly short-sighted and stupid.
First of all, you do realize that a McCain presidency probably means two more right-wing loons on the Supreme Court? Goodbye Roe v. Wade. But yeah, you sure showed Obama, didn’t you? Hope it’s worth it to you.
How about another few thousand dead Americans in Iraq? Is your hissy fit worth a few thousand more American soldiers’ lives?
Oh, and we’re also going to get four more years of this wonderful Republican economy, too, with the rich getting richer and everyone else fighting for scraps.
I hope and pray that you people will get a grip before November and vote for the things you supposedly believe in. Please, just get over yourselves and think about whether this is what’s best and what you really want for yourselves and our country.

That’s the way to win–show confidence!
And if this does go anywhere, it’ll be yet another pick solely on politics by the dems. Obama thought he locked up the experience issue by picking one of the most experienced senators (even though he’s an idiot…). McCain is trouncing them with his Palin pick, now they’re looking for a graceful way to backtrack with a “me too” pick. “Look! I have a woman on my ticket too!”
Fact is, no matter WHO he winds up with as a second, he’s still has the least experience of someone ever to aspire to the office of President, at least in recent memory (and by that, I mean the last century).

It’s too late for Obama he failed in his first major decision. Even dumping Biden for HRC can’t save him. The only thing that may have a chance at saving the Dems this year is putting HRC at the top of the ticket and that would be a very slim chance. Anything less won’t change a thing. He’s lost it. But you Dems picked him so you can’t whine and complain about it now.

I have been a democrat for over 20 years and although I am not a news hound, I did hear that Barack Obama called Governor Palin a pig and that outraged me. I have been hearing about more sexist things from Obama and I do not like them. Shame on Obama for those schoolyard antics. I was voting for Hillary and leaning to Obama, but I think I will support Palin and McCain now.

And now I have to watch the campaign unravel like THIS? WTF?!
It’s hopeless. This election is over. Put the fork in the whole thing, it’s done. Obama screwed the pooch by not picking Hillary and has been losing for a whole month now in the polls and in fundraising.
This campaign is over. It’s hopeless. I’ll be home on election day playing Nintendo Wii and meeting with my lawyer about suing the Obama campaing to get my $250 donation back.

As far as being selfish, Obama has the lock on that because he does not care who he steps on or throw under the bus to get to his destination.

I repeatedly warned Obama and his supporters from the start, at various stages. I predicted what would happen. At least now Biden is starting to show the high calibre of his character. But that is not enough to compensate. He must step aside for the benefit of the party and the country. Here are some of my communications and postings:
—————–
On May 19, directly to Obama campaign, in response to Obama staffer referring to Clinton as formidable baggage:
Clinton as “formidable baggage”?
You guys are so full of hubris. It is only what she brings with her that can make this a successful Democratic election. You need a sea change in your thinking. Nobody else will substitute, not a surrogate, not anyone but her.
Your attitude insults and alienates everyone who voted for Clinton with conviction. You speak of healing and bridging differences, but do just the opposite. You cannot bridge the divide and succeed without Clinton herself on the ticket. Nothing you can do, otherwise, will make the difference, not even if you select any one of Clinton’s closest allies/supporters. It will not matter what even Hillary herself says, or does, after you win the nomination. Many voters will see through that, and will not pull the lever for you, no matter how big your crowds and how many your high profile endorsements. On the contrary, it is, in fact, your campaign’s energetic, enthusiastic support that fuels people turning off from considering a vote for you.
If you do not succumb to this factual wisdom, and act accordingly, it would be just an exhibition of the political immaturity that led so many Democrats, myself included, to not vote Obama in these primaries. It would validate our individual and collective determinations. Every step you take would be tainted, and you ignore this at your ultimate electoral peril.
You and your advisors need to grow up and get real. Drop the arrogance, and bring Hillary on the ticket. That’s the only solution.
————-
On August 22, on a Politico blog:
Regardless of what say all those with ulterior motivations and allegiances, Obama is setting the stage to lose if he does not select Clinton VP. I, a white male Democrat, voted Clinton in the primary, and will withhold my vote if Obama selects anyone else. It is the issue of arrogance, and no, this article is not what has influenced my decision. It is Obama’s attitude and actions — NOT HIS RACE, and not that I think he should “know his place” in the racial sense. Dammit, I even vote for Jesse Jackson when he was running. If Obama is as smart as everyone says, he will see the writing on the wall and opt for victory instead of petulance. Who the f*** cares if Bill Clinton is wandering the White House halls? Come on, grow up and get real like any mature leader should. He already has shown poor political judgment by putting off the veep decision for so long; he should have made nice with Clinton as soon as he clinched the nomination numbers, bringing her on the ticket then. It’s all his pride that will be his downfall. Such disrespect deserves to be brought down. Here’s a scenario: Obama choose Kaine or some other half-baked twit, or even Biden. Then, McCain chooses Carly Fiorina or an equivalent. It’s a no brainer. And let me tell you one more thing, all of you who are so eager to malign Clinton and her supporters. Every time you do this, it only makes me less inclined to vote Obama. Your arrogance and his seem evenly matched. (Of course, perhaps some of you are Republicans posing as Obama supporter intended to sow dissent amongst the Democrats.)
—————–
On August 24, on a Chicago Tribune blog:
Actually, I am angry at Obama. He has blown it for the Democrats. The polls spell it out — when he should be leading by leaps and bounds, he is barely treading water against McCain. He did this by his own poor judgments, not actions of Hillary nor Bill. Yes, he has a history of poor judgments, and the latest one was to fail to mend fences with the Clinton wing of the party. Instead, he continued to throw mud-in-your-face. Then, we have the test of Russia vs. Georgia, when he maintained his talk-nice stance when even the Europeans are on pins and needles.
I am a Democrat and will vote Democrat in every other race this election. At this stage I cannot bring myself to vote McCain, due to several of his positions. Yet, I do believe Obama is less than a crap-shoot, but rather the balance of risk is that he will continue his pattern of poor judgment. Do we really want this type of person as leader of this nation at such a time?
When Obama spurned Clinton, not even vetting her, it exhibited hubris, at least, if not a sulking slow burn. He could not adjust to the strength of his own victory, being gracious and cooperative with the vanquished Clinton faction. McCain is said to be the one with the temper, but perhaps it is more in the nature of a passing outburst, whereas Obama seems to cling to his slights, and it affects his subsequent decisions.
Did Obama vote against the Iraq war just to be ornery, rather than from wise principle? I wonder.
If Obama had been a mature man, ready for leadership, he would have embraced Clinton as VP, notwithstanding that Bill may have ended up wandering the White House corridors, or that he may have some problem with Hillary’s disposition. Instead, he has defiantly thrown away the opportunity for Democratic victory. He is flawed. Perhaps it is worse. Perhaps he is unstable. This could pose a danger for our future.
I do not want a McCain victory. I do like many, if not all, of the policies expressed by Obama. But can we trust Obama to mean what he says, say what he means, and take reality into consideration? I cannot be complicit in his election. I cannot vote for this mistake.
Those who voted for Obama in the primaries succumbed to his ambiguous siren call for change. You blew it. It is a mirror of those who elected Bush in 2000 and again in 2004, only recently coming to terms with the consequences of those votes.
For all her character flaws, Clinton was the real thing. We had eight years of her husband, and things were really not so bad. If she were the candidate, either at the head of the ticket or as VP, the election would be a no brainer at this point. McCain would be Mc Lame.
Woe is we, who had such opportunity to remediate the damage of these past eight years. Now it is too late, and the best we can do is to elect such a lopsided Democratic congress as to offset the Republican partisan pressures that no doubt will do their best to influence a President McCain. At least McCain is known to reach across the aisle to work with the opposition, which is more than has been demonstrated by Obama.
——————
On September 7, directly to Joe Biden:
Dear Mr. Biden,
I trust that you are an honorable, intelligent, competent person and politician. In fact, I watched your convention speech, and based on what I saw, like and admire you. All these are reasons I am writing you, to ask that you please come up with some excuse to immediately step down in your candidacy for Barack Obama’s VP. I do believe that the two of you cannot win against McCain & Palin.
As painful as it may be for you to hear, Barack made a mistake in selecting you, and you made a mistake in seeking the selection. The only winning Democratic ticket is Obama-Clinton. If you were to step aside, for any reason you can come up with, then Barack could mend fences with Hillary and ask her to take your place. I beg that you consider this for the good of the Democratic party and the country. Otherwise, you will wage a valiant battle but likely lose.
Barack would never ask you to do this. In fact, he will try to dissuade you. Also, that he is averse to bringing Hillary on board. You need to be the stronger, more mature voice to temper his position through the influence of your wisdom and personal sacrifice.
Obama should never have provided the opening for McCain to select Palin. The Obama ticket needs a surprise to counter McCain’s surprise. Please be brave and wise, and give up now what you are likely to not succeed in securing anyway. Then, when Obama-Clinton win, you will be the most revered man in the country.
Nothing would please me more than for my evaluation and prediction to be wrong. But I do believe the die is cast.
Whoever reviews this email or posting, please pass it on to Joe directly. Thank you.

That was a disgraceful posting! This is 2008, and America is a fine and decent country and one that is beyond disgraceful sentiments like that!
I am a proud supporter of McCain/Palin and I will speak for the rest of us that we DO NOT agree with that posting from gregg on Sep 10, 208 8:45:14 PM!
Barack Obama is, in no way, ready to lead this Nation and the free world as President of the United States, but that has NOTHING to do with his race or skin color! It does, however, have EVERYTHING to do with his thin resume (see Sen. Clinton and Sen. Biden for further details on this), his complete and utter lack of judgement (see Sen. Biden for more details on this), his faulty economic policy (see Sen. Obama himself for further explanation and details on why his plan to raise taxes on the wealthy will further damage the economy as he discussed on “This Week” Sunday on ABC), and finally for his marxist, elitist world view, which he envisions for ‘his’ America

I really think he should step down and hand over the VP reigns to Hillary. Otherwise, I think this election is over and McCain will be the next CIC.

It is amazing how the left keeps shooting itself in the foot. Biden did say Hillary might have been a better pick and he was probably being nice to her and pandering to her supporters. But, as Obama would say, words have meaning.
The continue to attack Palin and she is still standing.

Okay, here’s the deal…
Biden comes up with some mysterious illness and has to resign from the campaign for health reasons. Graciously, Hillary accepts Obama’s frantic request for her to fill in as VP candidate. Problem solved! Obama still loses the election. Sarah is the real deal.

HRC was and is still the best choice. BO messed up big time by not picking Hillary.This will be probably be the biggest single mistake BO makes and possibly cost the election. He will be shown as a flop and Hillary will be a “shoe in” in 2012. Go Hillary!!’12

Biden got that right! What he failed to say, however, is that Hillary is a better Presidential choice that Obama. She was the best candidate of all those running. The way it turned out, it will be better for her. She does not need to prop up Obama. Let him fall on his own demerits while he is so busy trying to belittle another smart capable woman who has far more experience than he does, including her integrity in saying what she means and meaning what she says. Like Hillary, she is a fighter, not for her own grandeur, but for the progress and good of the people.

This is starting to look like the total melt down of the DNC and Obama campaign from within. They are so desperate for a win at any cost that now they are considering the unthinkable, switching horses after the gate has dropped. We’re in the third turn and running for home. *OH! WAIT! We want a different horse to put in at the third turn.* Do you guys want a running start too just to get your new horse up to speed? How about a spritzer while you’re at it?

Barry believed the hype. He won half his party’s votes which is about a quarter of the electorate. Yet he took the risk of going into the general elections without a united party. In the end, if he loses, then so be it. He is more than qualify to sustain himself and his family.
Now, since we Americans are all in the same boat, choosing McCain/Palin and borrowing more money to fight wars will hurt everybody. All our taxes will go to paying interest on the money we borrow. There will be no federal cash available to help any town, city or state. No jobs, high fuel cost, drill, drill, drill? We can waive old glory and kiss the country goodbye.

Hillary would have been a major mistake – Obama got it right.
If he picked Hillary and won – he would have regretted it every day for his one term only.
If he loses, it’s not because he picked the wrong VP – it will be because the women in this country are too self-focused to back the better candidate.

#1-this shows how poor Obama’s judgement is. Can this man be trusted to make calculated foreign policy decisions involving our enemies?

The Flim Flam Obamaman (Barack Hussein Obama) does not have good judgment. And it looks like his VP – Pit Bull Biden – sent to protect him – is also making a bad judgment call by saying this about Hillary being a better choice than him. A team that has no judgment skills. Can you blame America for getting turned off by this duo?
The only viable candidates for the office of the Presidency are President Elect McCain and Vice President Elect Palin. They have my vote in November and I, trust, they will have yours also!

You people are morons if you really believe Obama was referring to Palin. He was talking about ecomonic policies of McCain and the name Palin never even came up – I find it hilarious how easily swayed Americans are, because half can’t read or are too lazy to do so. It’s insulting that McCain thinks the American people are that stupid – but he does – The idea that some of you have stated that you will or have changed your party over a statement taken completely out of context is ridiculous.
I agree that he should pick Hillary Clinton and drop Biden. I believe Biden is setting up the stage to leave though. I feel he would be better suited for a Secretary of State position.

Note to all: This is what happens to the party of personal victimhood and identity politics.
Looking over all the dem-on-dem hating, with feminist women over here and victimist minorities over there, and what is most apparent is the Democrat calculus of cobbled support is broken.
And guess what women and blacks….this is good, not just for conservatives and republicans – but for YOU. Once you see that the tug of war you’re playing with each other, as victim groups b_tching for a candidate who looks like you (when both your candidates are essentually the same on 99% of the issues), you will free yourselves to vote on issues and not appearances.
Once you begin to vote on issues over appearances (over pigmentation, over anatomy) you will logically have to accept the fact that woman and blacks can CHOOSE TO VOTE CONSERVATIVE, and remain women and black.
Sarah Palin, you are priceless.

Hillary’s not qualified to run a mosquito control board. She botched health care and has had everything handed to her on a silver platter, largely through her hubby’s political wheeling and dealings. She had to move to a place where she knew she could get elected, and I wonder if Giuliani was ever actually sick or if someone had a ‘talk’ with him. She stands for nothing in particular…except herself.
Obama is (maybe) a well-meaning Socialist who is destined to be Jimmy Carter II. He would be a good president if he doesn’t actually try to do anything and if the U.S. were the only country in the world.
In other words, you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. :-)
McCain never ran anything. But, with a Dem-controlled Congress and with the left wing loons driving the DNP’s platform he is necessary for balance. And, he doesn’t sound like he’ll buckle to our enemies. But, that depends on how much political capital the White House would have left under a Republican and the constant whining from the Marxists with their radical blogs and bandannas over their faces raising Cain.
At this point in time Palin is the most qualified, real and inspiring of any of them. And that’s pretty sad. Where have all the Statesmen gone?
If Biden was told to say that stuff, then I almost feel sorry for the man, but on the other hand if that’s the case I would hope he would have found a pair and told them where to go.

Sarah Palin is a small town hick who eloped with her high school boyfriend, got knocked up 5 times, and went to community colleges…in ALASKA!!! lol. Obama attended Ivy League Schools — Columbia & Harvard. OBAMA’s intellect is far superior to that small town hussy, and he’s well known and is respected by beautiful people such as Barbara Striesand, George Clooney, Sean Penn, Michael Moore, Jada Smith, Cher, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, P-Diddy, Al Queada, NAS, Howard Dean, Kate Moss, Madonna, North Korean & Iran leaders, Richard Gere, Hugo Chavez, Louis Farrakan, and most French & German citizens. Who does McCain & Palin know??? Robert Duval…lol. When was his last movie…1980??? When was the last time this Robert Duval walked down the red carpet in a fashionable new tux??? AH HA!!! So u see, OBAMA will make a great president, and will finally end this unfair experiment called capitalism. A Socialist system is the most fair system, and taxes should be raised to at least 75% on the RICH and the SPOILED ROTTEN MIDDLE CLASS. The 75% tax rate will bring us closer to equality as it will help the poor who are employment deprived. OBAMA!!! OBAMA!!! GLORY GLORIOUS OBAMA!!! HE HAS RISEN!!! OBAMA…GLORY BE, OBAMA!!!

It’s noteworthy that the audience at that speech laughed at the Obama statement and believed that Obama was in fact referring to Mrs. Palin. Those interviewed even stated so. Further, if the audience believed that the statement was a slap at Mrs. Palin, why shouldn’t I? Beyond that is the above quote from a poster. The poster just called his/her fellow Obama supporters “morons”, “easily swayed”, “stupid”, “can’t read or are too lazy”, and “ridiculous”. Or, does that only apply to those that don’t continue to support Obama regardless of what he says?

In reading the comments here about Obama and his attempts to slap Mrs. Palin I’ve noted the Left shooting itself. In example: ” The poster just called his/her fellow Obama supporters “morons”, “easily swayed”, “stupid”, “can’t read or are too lazy”, and “ridiculous”. Or, does that only apply to those that don’t continue to support Obama regardless of what he says?”
It has been said that a dying dog will bite at it’s own wounds.

JLS, I am pleased that we both agree and are on the same side, my sister. Fear not, as the great OBAMA will transform the US forever as he brings in the GREAT CHANGE by moving the US to a magnificient SOCIALIST SOCIETY…one where u and I…YES, U AND I, JLS, will both benefit from the 75% tax on the WRETCHED RICH, and the SPOILED ROTTEN MIDDLE CLASS. Our day is at hand JLS, so very soon u will be happy as OBAMA and the NEW government will take care of u and I. We won’t need to work if we don’t want to. U and I will be able to relax as we are taken care of. I know that u also can’t wait for the great changes that is to come…am I right??? But be patient, my beautiful and wonderful sister…be patient. First we must take care of this vile woman…this SARAH PALIN and those fashionable and delightful rims of hers (those are indeed great rims!!!). This woman does not even realize that she would be worth an impressive fortune in some countries…at least 200 head of goats and 20 camels. Her family will be delighted at that and would be able to feast for many ramadans. Infact, she may even be worth as much as 300 head of goat in addition to 25 to 30 camels. Those are impressive figures for a 44 yr old woman who has already bore 5 kids. She must be convinced from running in this man’s race with the EVIL BUSH & MCCAIN. This vile and stupid woman truly cares not about her family’s fortunes, and all the head of goat and camels she could bring. Her glasses are quite lovely though, great with her features, and go with all manner of clothing…business or casual.

Bill and Hillary, from their seperate bedrooms, are thrilled over Obama’s imploding campaign. They may have missed this one, but there is always 2012. Obama will fail (with a little help from the Clintons), Hillary will say “I told you so”, the Clintons will forcefully regain control of the Democrat Party and Hillary will be back in the spotlight for the next 4 years. Be prepared for 4 years of Hillary postering for her next run, bashing McCain on a daily basis. Reaching “across the isle” so that she can drive a dagger into someone’s heart. Meanwhile, all Democrats who betrayed Billary will go down in flames, so that next time, there will be no opposition. In 2012, the Democrat party will be “united” through fear and intimidation, it will be the Party of Clinton.

Obama truly doesn’t seem that bright to me. He can’t answer almost any question straight-up. He dances and hmmms and uhhhs around them. He picked Biden as VP. He made the stupid, stupid comment about lipstick on pigs (regardless of how he meant it, it was STUPID, having ANY awareness of Palin’s speech). Maybe Hah-vad Law isn’t as great as they say they are.

75% tax rate for the rich, huh.
Well, what does the Marxist vision hold for society after there are no more rich because they’ve been taxed out of existence thus no more free ride? Also, the last time I heard the Obamas and the Clintons weren’t exactly destitute.
Knuckleheads.
Also, who cares if Babs and Hanoi Jane and other Hollywood Babylon big mouths support Obama and the Clintons? Oh, and aren’t they rich, too? Going to tax 75% of their income?

A low level functionary at State for 10 years has more foreign policy work than you. You have sat through some hearings. In your case that means you listened to yourself ask a question for 15 minutes and then, while others asked questions and got answers you were working on your next speech. I mean question. You didn’t hear anything buy your own voice, then went home and fforwarded through the hearing to watch yourself talk again. The janitor in the room learned something. You, no such luck.

Hillary wants Obama to lose so she can run in 2012. All you dems who support her should vote McCain /Palin so she will have that opportunity. Now, on a more serious note, I had always felt that HRC was the one dem that could have won the election for the dems and was actually undecided had she got the nomination. With Obama as the candidate I am not undecided and will vote McCain/Palin. I know who McCain is and where he stands. Obama won’t answer a question unless he is cornered. I also like Palin as a choice for vp since she does understand that energy is part of our national security, she wants to do what is best for our nation. She has the toughness to do so in spite of all the attacks on her.

A lot of us will vote for McCain/Palin because Hillary is not on the ticket.
Even if the Dumb One puts her on the ticket as VP, many of us still will not vote for Obama. The man is not qualified. What’s more, we are probably enjoying Obama’s fall as much as you are.
So, in the spirt of bipartismship, please identify the ones supporting Obama as Obama Supporters and not as Dems. We don’t want any part of them.

You can’t find one Republican out there who will tell you that the GOP didn’t let-us-down when they had it all. We gave them the whole govt. and the old powerful leaders of the GOP used it to sit on their a%^ and ride their cushy jobs closer to retirement.

The best part of this whole race so far is watching more and more of the country realize that liberals are absolutely insane, and offer no hope for the country. They bring out Obama like he’s the real JC, but really, he’s just a pawn — the libs know that when he loses, they can just say it’s because America is racist. “When they win, they won; when we win, we cheated.” — Ann Coulter, on the libs.

Back-pedaling, back-pedaling, the Donks are skittish with the publicized accounts of their missteps, and it’s too late to change mid-stream now with HRC to save the day. Joe Biddin’ knows that.
Ol’ Joe sees the writing on the wall. Probably should have gone to Tahiti with the wife for snorkelin’ and snoozin’ ’til after the election.

I am so mad at Obama for not picking Hillary that I have decided to vote for McCain/Palin. Hillary would have won this election in a landslide. Now we are left with Barack comparing his experience to Sarah Palin and Biden dooming our candidate by admitting that Barack picked the wrong vp candidate. Way to go. I was so hopeful that the end of the Republican dominance was just about over but it looks like I am going to join them since the only one that could possibly beat them is a Clinton and Barack chose not to pick the one person that would have won this election for the Democrats.

Biden was & is major mistake. He is a lifelong rigid liberal who has accomplished little. His arrogant & condescending demeanor does not endear him to conservatives or independents let alone many liberals. His performance in the presidential race was third rate. Compared to Palin, he is an aging old union – loving ” Don’t rock the entitlement boat ” government tenured piece of boring crap ! Thank God for the freshness & “can do ” attitude of Palin who has acutually worked and had jobs in her life !!!!” Polishing a turd ” like Biden is a failed objective.

Biden, as misguided as he is, is a good guy. He is wrong in the fact Hillary is more qualified to be VP. She would have sunk the Democrat Party with her ultra high negatives. Rush supporters propped up her campaign. Plus, don’t forget about crazy Bill.

A day late and a dollar short…though I’m glad that this spurred on a full on view of the REAL Obama. I always suspected that Obama did not deserve my vote and that he was a bag of hot air with the ongoing chatter about “change”; but then, he went and chose a career politico, a mundane DC insider from the Jurasic period who is known to have gotten into bed with some pretty grotesque individuals and groups sympathetic to some major world dictators, in the name of tending to foreign policy. THAT was enough for this nauseated Democrat to keep her distance…

What Biden is trying to do is mend fences, something neither he nor Obama should do. Biden is more suited to debate Palin, and Obama has fallen prey to another old high school trick, “Get your girl to fight for you”. Obama needs to concentrate on McCain and Biden needs to pull all stops, wet his whistle and keep Palin busy scrambling, instead of Obama scrambling from fear of upsetting other women. It is obvious that mostr women are still not ready for office as they think with too much emotion especially when one of their own is under fire. Can you imagine this is a heartbeat away from president if McCain succeeds, and he picked her just for the reason which has materialized. Palin is his “wingman”, taking all the fire so he can sail on in unconfronted. This is not a new tactic for fly boys and taught in every military aviation academy, one thing he remembers from school anyway.

This article fascinated me, as I attended to the event in my hometown of Nashua today. The article fails to site a critical point, which is that Biden was responding to a crude comment about Hillary from a man (who almost seemed unstable) in the audience. I was impressed and delighted by Biden’s Clinton-champion response to the inappropriate comment. As a former Clinton supporter, I attended the event to learn more firsthand about the Obama ticket. Unfortunately, I am also disappointed and amazed by this journalist’s misrepresentation of Biden’s comments – which today helped secure the vote of myself (independent), my husband (republican), and daughter (democrat)!

Posted by: Kathryn | September 10, 2008, 8:22 pm 8:22 pm

Me and my wife supported Hillary in the Pennsylvania primary. Now we and our neighbors have not only voiced our support for McCain/Palin, but will volunteer to get them elected.
My wife and her friends are so giddy over having a woman as Vice President, they believe she will be President in the future. She makes them proud to be Americans.
Support McCain/Palin: send a message to Obama and the Dems that their sexist message is not selling to the American people.

Democratic Party official stance on women in the party:
#1. Women can’t reach the highest office due to gender. (But we need their votes so pretend to support them)
#2. If a woman runs for President, of ANY party, including our own, attack her and put the “fix” in for the guy.
3. Keep women in line by telling them that they won’t be able to abort their children if they don’t support the DNC.

I guess that is why so many are flocking to McCain and Palin. They are professional liars. I myself was very upset when Hillary wasn’t the nominee but after hearing Palin my choice was easily made. Palin is by no way Hillary and it is an insult to all intelligent woman to compare the two.

Jill, I totally agree with you. Palin is just as able to talk on the stump as Hillary. Probably, she can think and talk at the same time, unlike the main candidate on the other side who thinks he is running against a pig with lipstick! That is just a little counter-joke. Ha! Sorry! In Biden’s defense, he sounds like he is apologizing to the women who supported Hillary. They are desperately trying to get those votes. I don’t think so. Many already declared they were going to vote for McCain. By adding Palin to the ticket, that just seals the deal. Imagine that! Another smart and capable woman who knows how to lead–by example!

“I’ve never understood what Hillary has to offer beyond living in the same house with a president whose entire legacy is chasing women.”
Hillary has accomplishments in her own right and she has all the qualifications needed to be President as she has so ably proven.
The fact that she stayed with her husband is no one’s business but hers.
I am sure how you treat your significant other at home or elsewhere is not a deciding factor in you getting or keeping a job nor is it anyone’s business whether or not you stay with him/her if you so choose.
Hillary is her own woman and is entitled to pursue in life what she feels will make her happy. She should not have to stifle herself because of her husband’s actions or your opinion.
It is totally unfair to blame her for her husband’s actions anyway. Do anyone blame you for what your spouse do?

I mean, he disses Hillary and now what?

It amazes me how a nice innocent compliment by Biden gets twisted and turned. A guy in the audience criticised Hillary and Biden felt it appropriate to straighten him out. This wasn’t planned he just said out loud what he thought and moved on. Lets just leave it there. It amazes me how people have forgotten that whether its McCain, Obama, Palin, Biden they are all human too. They make mistakes and gaffes, and yes like we all do they sometimes change their minds on various issues, that’s OK its great to have a leader then feels it OK to change their mind when new facts arise. We seem to forget that they have families, relatives and they have feelings too. No matter whom you support they are all patriots, they may have different opinions but they all want the best for the country. There are so many good people out there who would be great leaders but are wont stand up because of a small error they have made 20 years ago will come out. We seem to have forgotten what elections are all about, so please for the sake of all of us lets drop the “gottcha” stuff and focus on what’s important. For everyone out there no matter whom you support I wish you the best and as they say may the best man / women win.

You’re a real disgrace moron sotaly above! You’re still not wearing the lipstick, eh?
Biden, THANK yor your nonest assessment of Obama’s horrendously damaging Judgment (zilch) in picking the wrong V-P. Obama had said to Hillary’s supporters” “GET OVER IT!” Now they have adn come November the 18 million cracks will shatter the exDemocratic Party’s ceiling exposing Light for the pathetically inept OBAMYOPICS to see the folly of their stupidity!
Too late, Biden, Obama’s mistake is in letting his ego rule any political instict he might have had–zilch!
JFK won the Elction as he put his Ego aside and chose his arch-enemy Lyndon B. Johnson as his V-P! Obama is no politician.
Obama’s a narcissistic megalomaniac who was annointed by a foolish Party and a biased MSNBC/CNN bunch of media misogynist frat-boys!
Karma’s a b!tch, ObamaRat, and she’s wearing lipstick November 5th!….
Go back to your Chicago political sewers…

As a life-long Dem who couldn’t believe the party elite put up someone as unqualified and racist as Obama, I planned to vote for Ron Paul in November. But now that he’s out and Palin is in, I will definitely be voting for McCain.
Obama not only calls women pigs, he treats them like pigs, and Americans will remember this on election day.

i am a big hillary fan but a committed obama supporter. if hillary had been picked or if she had won the nomination, we would be talking about monica lewinsky and bill’s library donors and whatever else the right wing would have thrown at her including the sniper fire thing. mccain would have picked palin and that would have siphoned off hillary voters. the media would have been discussing whether the hillary choice showed obama as weak – so lets not continue to create a fiction story here that hillary was a better pick – she is a great woman and i have alot of respect for her but the right wing lie machine would be slinging the mud at anyone who was on the democratic ticket. would hillary have fought back better than joe? maybe – joe biden is more low key than i expected. but joe is an honest guy – and he is not being handled to an extreme like palin is. he said what he felt and protected a friend – he is an honorable man. i hope with all my heart he is the next vice president – his honesty, integrity and sincerity would be a huge breath of fresh air for this country and a wonderful role model for our children. i would rather my children listen to him speak than listen to palin and all the other right wingers who substitute lies and insults for honest and intelligent discourse

Posted by: gigs | September 10, 2008, 9:01 pm 9:01 pm

Joe Biden gets my respect as a thoughtful guy making a thoughtful comment. Republicans cannot do thoughtfulness so well – demogoguery works better for them. HRC lost in the primaries. It wasn’t taken away by anyone. It was close, but she said so many damaging things about Obama, that if she were chosen, the current campaign would have been filled with comments she made about Obama using no discretion, just based on her own desire to win.
I will take thoughtful discourse and anlysis over Mc Cain’s knee-jerk actions. Our country needs to be taken seriously again. With Obama and Biden you have two accomplished intelligent people worthy of our great nation. with Mc Cain and Pailin you have a circus act- two non-achievers with no real vision, but plenty of Bush handlers to pull the strings. How long will America be fooled?

By all means, bring her record to light, educate America. You’re digging your own grave.

Now, we are talking about the Wrong Reverend Wright, Larry Sinclair, Obama’s gay choir director boyfriend who was murdered, Pastor Manning’s videos accusing Wright an Obama being more than just uncle and nephew, Ayers, Rezko, plagiarism, pigs with lipstick, Obama’s “lost” (get ready) birth certificate, selective service record, education records, medical history and his missing senatorial records, Michelle’s Whitey tape, the Wrong Reverend Wright’s soon to be published book, a law suit that is questioning the validity of the phony birth certificate and whether Obama is an actual US citizen and how about Selma got him born ROFLMAO!!! – well, I could go on if you like …
The Republicans are loading up for him and are just biding their time – like about in October.
What’s more, he can not string his words together in one coherent sentence.
Furthermore, if Hillary wasn’t so great, why does Obama wants her to campaign for him? You do know she is better qualified than Obama OR Biden, don’t you?

He had the potato salad and I had the cole slaw. He drank Mountain Dew and I had a Dr. Pepper. You may ask how two people that are so different be so much alike. Well, they can’t. Nuff said.

This is as out of context as lipstick on a pig. It was a kind remark, period. Anybody that reads more into it than that is just like Ben Porritt, on drugs, and not very good ones at that, or he’s just another evil Christian hypocrit whose too caught up in partisan politcs. If this keeps up, we’ll all have to do some sort of drug just to keep from going crazy. And if you think Palin will make a great prez., hire her for your boss after the election and see what its like to work for a manipulative liar.. She’ll never be my president, ever. I don’t care what God tells her to do.

The one or two Obama supporters left are really funny. They talk about “hype,” when their candidate is without a doubt one of the most over-hyped empty suits in history. The Obama-crazies are silly, I tell ya!
Newsflash: Palin is not hype. She is real. R-E-A-L. She is strong in conviction, intelligent, witty, courageous, and inspiring — a natural. And she came across as such even while the mainstream media tried their darnedest — in most despicable, hypocritical, repugnant fashion — to take her down.
Oh yeah, and McCain’s brilliant pick — this up-and-comer with fists of iron (as opposed to Obama’s feet of clay) — just happens to be a woman. Egg on your face much, Democrats?
McCain/Palin is a strong ticket. Palin has energized conservatives in a big way. And McCain has shown, without a doubt, that he really-really-REALLY knows what he is doing.

I think the main reason is that he can’t get along with Obama now.
He must feel regret to accept the VP.

BObama made a big mistake not choosing Hillary for his VP. Before that, the Dems themselves made a bigger mistake not supporting Hillary for their Presidential nominee. They chose instead to go with BObama and now the Dems are in danger of losing the Presidency. McCain found his own Hillary in Sarah Palin and she has stolen all of BObama’s thunder right from day 1.
The situation is dire for the Dems and I think that in view of his generous comments about Hillary, JBiden is considering pulling out in favour of Hillary. He’s a lovely man who puts his party first so I think it could be the saving strategy for the Dems, That’s if the Powers in the Party go along with it of course. They may not? Hillary has numerous enemies in her own camp. But anyway see what happens in the next week or two. McCain gets stronger every day because BObama’s cannot cope with Palin Power. His political beliefs are still in formation and he is confused by the dozens of managers, advisers and supporters filling his head with nonsense. Palin by contrast has her Political Personae so firmly embedded in her belief system that she can spruik her message any time, anywhere so convincingly that people listen and are impressed.

Just an idea..Maybe the best thing for America is for Obama to be elected, 4 yrs of his policies (IMO socialism)and I doubt any Democrat(IMO=Liberal) would be elected again for quite awhile (except in Maryland). On the other hand, I can’t bring myself to accept that the majority of Americans are stupid enough to elect this Manchurian Candidate. Both parties are at fault for the circumstances we find ourselves in today. So I would ask anyone to convince me to vote for Obama. What does this man have to offer, supported by his record, that would make me think he could be good for this country in any capacity other than a reason to vote for McCain. (He’s not Bush isn’t reason enough!)

Since Obama doesn’t know crap himself, he would be wise to follow Palin’s example.
He needs to learn first of all that the US is not comprised of 57 states and what state borders other states.
Also, he might want to bone up on economics 101. Seems the One put forth a economic package back in January and it was so bad that everyone voted against it, including Obama! LMAO!
Ummm, let’s see, you can send him to speech classes, they can work with him on his stuttering problem and maybe a Logic class or two –so he can learn reason and to put sentences together that actually make sense.
You might also want to see that he join Toastmasters – there he could learn proper public speaking, you know, without a teleprompter and a script.
I am also beginning to think that the helmet he wears is not really a bicycle helmet. I think it is one of those protective helmets that is used to hold in place what little brains he have.
Furthermore, half of that stuff you mentioned about Palin has already been debunked.
Looks like you have some reading to catch up on, too. :D

I’m a GOPer, a Conservative. I’d never vote Dem, but I admired the way Hillary manned up in the second half after oozing entitlement in the first. I wrote and told her that, too. She impressed me as a strong, committed, and a fighter. A pitbull in lipstick, IOW. Perhaps that’s why she won’t attack Palin on Obama’s behalf. She sees another woman who has qualities in common with her. Frankly, if Hillary joins Obama on his losing ticket, she’ll lose all the hard-won respect she earned in this quarter and still lose the race. Obama’s a sinking ship. Hillary’s smart enough to figure out that the arrogant moron, who slapped her in the face by refusing to consider her as veep, should be left to drown in his own arrogance and bad judgment … unless, of course, he put her on the top of the ticket. I were Hillary, that’s the only deal I’d take. I won’t vote for her ever, but she should not allow herself to be used as Obama’s safety net. He thought he didn’t need her, now let him prove it.

Then after the election, stop giving them money for campaigns, union dues, etc. Then we put all of our respective nutcases from both parties outside the Capitol Building to protest until they start reducing the wasteful budgets, erase deceitful tax codes, and remove lobbyists from their collective asses. Then they pass some legislation that makes sense…like infrastructure programs for our National Energy Grid, highways, broken bridges….that puts people to work and the money stays here and we become more secure when we fix our home first.

Your agent of ‘change’ is a Harvard lawyer who toes the party line, and who picked as deep an insider there is to be his VP.
McCain is going to eat him alive in the debates, and Biden is most likely wetting himself, though despite him asking a man in a wheelchair to stand up yesterday he has more of a chance with her than Obama does with McCain.

Let me try to follow the logic. If a black person votes for the white candidate it is race betrayal. If a woman votes for McCain/Palin she is not a true feminist. If all whites voted for McCain to support their race, they are racist. If blacks vote for Obama because of his race, they are not racist. Man, liberal thinking may be progressive but sure is confusing. As a white man with two white children and two black children we have opted to keep it simple. In the words of Reverend Martin Luther King we will judge people by their character, not by the color of their skin – that is also my families dream. My best friend and business partner (who happens to be black), is candid in acknowledging the reality in the black community that Obama represents an emotional balm for, in his words, a really messed up and deeply emotionally wounded black community. He readily admits the double standard and reverse racism in the black community runs VERY DEEP and is VERY REAL. He, like me, find it very depressing. Specifically, that so many people in the black community need someone to give them validation. The hole that the black community has dug itself into by never looking inward to self, is a hole that gets deeper and deeper. Self reliance and personal accountability is the only hope for real change (that and God). Anyone who is supporting Obama merely because of the color of his skin is blind to the perpetuation of the root cause for their own demise (and probably from a long lineage waiting for the right person or governmental entity to change their plight). Without looking inward, I guarantee that your life and the life of your children will NEVER change. Like Dr. King, I have a dream. The dream of a day when this self imposed, self-destructive veil of deceipt will be lifted. Sadly, those blinded by this veil, have no concept of what I am saying. It is heartbreaking.

Biden was being a gentleman and there is nothing more too it than that. I am leaning towards McCain, but I will not beat these guys up for things like this. It is meaningless.

Kelly, the name is Joe. And even if it were flip flopping (an epithet for reconsidering a position after new evidence has come to light), which it usually is not (Obama has been very calculated in this regard – perhaps to a fault), the worse offense is McCain’s. Lying and misleading the American people in order to distract and thereby deprive them of a fruitful debate is a radical departure from the intention of our revered Founders. They enshrined the concept of constructive, rights-protected debate, in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Obama made a great choice. Or do you think that there is ONLY ONE qualified candidate among the Democratic ranks? I don’t think so. Joe Biden obviously doesn’t think so. 18 million voters didn’t think so. But Obama won and now it’s about Obama and NOT Clinton.

shaune stated “You know what Palin is doing right now she’s studying history and foreign policy on flashcards because she doesn’t no crap. She’d rather be on the cover of US and People than do meet the press.”
Before you dismiss the fact that Sarah Palin is Commander of the Alaska National Guard, consider this:
Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units.
As governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden’s and certainly by far exceeds Obama’s.
She’s also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security’s counterterrorism plans.
Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country’s defense. Given Alaska ‘s proximity to Russia , she may have security clearances we don’t even know about. According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets.
She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.

Hillary Clinton would have been even worse then Biden.
She would have united Conservatives just in the way the selection of Gov. Palin has today.
The big drawbacks from Biden and Hillary Rodham, remains their Washington Insider Celebrity and their votes on the authorization of the use of force in Iraq, which both undercut Obama’s supposed themes for his run to the Presidency.
Besides, Hillary Clinton has 50% of the Nation declared firm, that they won’t vote for Hillary.
Senator Clinton has the worst negatives of any candidate on the National Stage, for good reason.
The Clinton’s lied about everything, including the genocide in Rwanda.

Are you really Rosey O’Donald? We haven’t heard from that liberal lezbo in a long time. You know, I really wish you libs would just get on a plane, boat, maybe a bicycle would be better because of global warming and just get the hell out of this great country you hate so much…bye bye!

Hillary will not accept the VP.
She wants Obama to Lose so Hillary will be the Dems Pick in 4 years.
Perfect plan for Hillary, let Obama lose and step right in and get the Nomination in 4 more years.
And Biden can feel he is going to be a loser like Al Gore, Kerry, and the rest of the Dem Losers.

True, it is very possible that Biden recognizes that Obama is going to lose and wants to step away. I say Obama is going to lose and if he makes anymore gaffes, it is going to be by a HUGE amount.

Eric -
Hoping for Obama’s assassination? Get real. She did not ever say that so stop twisting her words.
I suppose when Ludricis sang his little rap ditty for his Lord and Master saying John McCain belonged in a wheelchair, McCain could have said that was a threat, considering George Wallace, a presidential candidate (who was NOT a nice man!) was shot and paralyzed and ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of his days.
Furthermore, nothing Hillary or Bill said was racist and you know it.
I am black and I am tired of this bs you Obama Supporters are saying. You must think the American people are a special kind of stupid that they cannot see thru Obama’s poorly played race cards.
BTW, AAs are not supporting the dems, they are supporting a half black/half white fraud. Then they have the nerve to quote MLK. For them, it is not the content of Obama’s character, but the color of his skin.
For this black woman, Obama is going to have to be more than black to get my vote. He will have to be qualified for the position and based on his performances so far, that will be like, oh,like NEVER.
The position of POTUS is clearly above his pay grade.
Also, the only thing the “ladies” have learned this election cycle is that we have been taken for granted for far too long.
PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 – In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

A lot here seem to be missing an important point: if Hillary were the nominee, Sarah would still be the phenom she is and Hillary would be on the ropes now…only Sarah would have been more able to take on Hillary’s feminism directly rather trying to get Hillary’s people on board instead.
Obama would have done just fine if he had picked Karen Sibelius or Claire McCaskill…but it seems he was tricked or blackmailed into taking Biden…and only realized too late that he had been had by the Clintons on that.
The fake Georgia incident had a lot to do with the Biden pick. I think Biden should be arrested for his anti-male lawmaking (VAWA and IMBRA) but Biden is correct about Russia (Europe’s largest consumer economy needs to be our friend).
Sarah Palin is a victory for the Ron Paul people by the way. She is more libertarian than the press is mentioning.

Barack Obama is like the prissy sissy little boy in the neighborhood.
He taunts the other kids from his second story window.
The other kids are gruff, holes in the knees of their jeans and scuffed elbows.
Obama stays up in his room. Pressed slacks and crossed legs. His
grandmother serves him chocolates. He reads books and imagines himself better than most.
Some day he intends on sharing his gift of I’m-smarter-than-you with
those who need him.
The other kids, the normal ones, are aggravated by his taunting, but
he won’t come out.
He tells his grandmother that he did not in fact tease the neighbors
from his window, but that those kids are ignorant and misguided, and don’t command the intellectual capacity to understand what he really meant with his comments.
His grandmother smiles responding with confirmation that she already knew that he didn’t do anything wrong and that she always knew that her golden boy was smarter than everyone elses worthless children.
As Obama’s grandmother would exit his room he would often note in his memoirs that she was sadly a misguided miscreant typical white woman who clung to raising someone else’s kid because she didn’t have enough money.

Posted by: Wayne | September 10, 2008, 10:40 pm 10:40 pm

Why does anybody think Hillary would WANT to step-in? She’s way smarter than that. She wants to run in 2012 and she will run in 2012 if Obama loses this election and she will be the nominee in 2012.
Obama screwed-up big time when he wouldn’t settle for a Clinton/Obama ticket… that would have been a strong ticket… the party would have been united… and they would have saved millions of bucks for the general election… and he could have been president in 2016… but Obama didn’t want to share any of the histrionics of him becoming the 1st African American president with the 1st women vice president so he selected Biden… now he’s paying the price…
Regardless of who you support… which presidential candidate made the best VP pick in terms of helping their respective campaigns? Welcome to the NFL.

Jenn,
Actually if you would listen to Ann Coulter you would educate yourself on today’s politics. You libs are so worried about having your abortion rights taken away. Which doesn’t make much sense because most of you are lezbos. You want a socialist government, and you’re not concerned about being attached AGAIN by terriorist. So, the best answer for you is to move to another country…honestly we really don’t want you here anyway. This country was founded on morals, values and God, something you libs know nothing about. You’re boring me, I’m going to bed.

Posted by: cathryn | September 10, 2008, 10:42 pm 10:42 pm

If McCain had not picked the libertarian Palin, his pandering to the Hillary feminists was enough to keep at least 10 million men from voting for him. Even now…it disturbs me to see Hillary supporters wanting to vote McCain.
If Obama had not chosen NOW’s favorite gofor boy Biden, I would want to vote for him precisely BECAUSE Hillary feminists apparently prefer McCain to him.
I want to see Obama ditch Biden and take Claire McCaskill. Then…when Hillary feminists attack Claire for not being a radical enough feminist, tons of American men would actually have a choice not to vote for the McCain ticket that is now pandering to win those Hillary feminist votes.
Make no mistake: Hillary’s people successfully WARNED or tricked Obama not to take a female VP. Less of a feminist woman as a Dem rising star would be anathema to her.
With McCain pandering to the Hillary people now…there is something very, very wrong with the state of the US electorate.

Posted by: Jack Sanderson | September 10, 2008, 10:46 pm 10:46 pm

Why are there people here calling people names? Why is it that in a debate about our future collective interests…the only thing some people can do is throw insults and the company line. I’m pretty sure the reason the campaigns’s throw so much dirt is because that’s what the rest of us are doing. In the end, we can insult each other and have some great one-liners but in the end have we done anything but fight with each other while the Powers in Washington keep running their Feudal Estate? Don’t get me wrong, the Libs are a great target and their really funny when you corner them on things like BO’s record…the responses are great…more name calling and personal attacks, oh I’m not sure I handle the deluge of personal stories of intrigue and heartache over a bunch of political hacks that for the most part really don’t give a damn about us.

Posted by: Virtuesofalostcitizen | September 10, 2008, 10:47 pm 10:47 pm

Liberal politicians and ‘journalists’ protect Barack Obama with a personal vigor because it is in fact very personal to them.
They view black people as their children. And if anyone picks on your kids – come on, nothing is more personal.
Liberals are the parents. They garner themselves with a parental role towards the black community.
They offer them welfare and all manner of social programs to ‘take care of them’. Liberals have an emotional investment in the black community. They want to make sure they are ‘ok’. Sort of coming out and checking on them as they sleep, pulling the blanket up just a little higher.
Having tried to influence the greater society to cater to their specific needs their entire professional life – failure at this point would be a ‘personal’ failure. Much passion and time they have poured into raising the black community from infancy.
Like sending your kid off to school. Make sure he has his lunch packed, “call me if you need anything”. And anxiously help them onto the bus hoping they will be ok.
Then finally they get to watch Barak Obama at the ‘graduation day’ of the black population. On stage representing the black population accepting his diploma figuratively by running for president in his tassel’d hat.
The parents are so proud of their child’s accomplishment, wiping a tear from their eye, they marvel and think to themselves that it has all been worth it. All the trials and hardships and their child has finally made it through his difficult teenage years.
Now the parents, Liberals, can sort of sit back and rest knowing that they have done good. But there will always be that little bit of worry that comes along with being a parent.

rv -you credited me in your last post when Sharky should have been credited. Personally I think Palin was a great pick, I would have liked to see Jindel as the pick..but he said “No, thanks” Perhaps she doesn’t know much about foreign policy as a Governor of Alaska. Dems need something to attack her on, why not foreign policy experience (not to mention her children, pregnant daughter, blah…blah) But join me in The Way-Back Machine..Bill Clinton Governor of Arkansas, had foreign policy experience??. Hillary Clinton Former First Lady and Senator of New York (IMO-in which she took residence only to be elected, how is she connected with New York, it escapes me?)foreign policy experience??
Barack Hussein Obama Senator from Illinois who served less than 6 months when he started his campaign, foreign policy experience. It’s an empty argument? Unless I am mistaken one gains experience in something by doing. If I were to use that argument I have more foreign policy experience than any of the Democratic candidates by virtue of visiting bars in 50 different countries while I was in the Navy! VOTE FOR ME.

“The Senator”
by Gary (Bill) Bailey
The Senator was on his way up and he didn’t want to go down.
The media helped him, blowing his horn and showing him around .
while the Mayor and the Governor denied knowledge of Pay for Play.
The Senator said he was unaware and he walked away
His preacher and mentor cursed this great land and everyone frowned
And the Senator said he was unaware and he walked away
The Senator’s wife was made proud of America for the first time
and their best friend, Rezko, was tossed in the slam covered with slime.
And the Senator said he was unaware and he walked away
while the biased media did not have a bad word to say.
Then the people cheered shouted and yelled for a lady in from the cold
Someone new, someone different that fought corruption and was very bold.
She was here but a week and the Senator’s numbers started to decline
Some said they could see the handwriting on the wall
They got me by my B_ _ _ s the Senator whined
as he changed his approach and talked about liars, pigs, lipstick and fish that stink
then he dispatched his men to a small town in Alaska looking for rumors that might cause her ship to sink.
While the Senator talked about CHANGE it was the same old crud
Just another dirty politician rolling in the mud

Golly…. you all have short memories, or maybe no memories because you have no information. HRC (Her Royal Clinton) has a bunch of skeltons in her too. She had the gender card, but with Palin running that isn’t gonna help her.
There is something else happening in America, and in this election which is keeping us from having a real honest discussion about our standing in the world, and our current dire situation. And it all has to do with racism and bigotry.
Why else would our country, which is in a deep recession caused by Republican strategies –wherein there are even lots of poor Republicans– insist on sticking with their party… the same one that has brought us to rack and ruin.
What’s up with that? Why would people struggling to keep themselves afloat financially, who can’t get medical care, or decent affordable housing, education and transportation vote for the same party???
There must be something bigger that sways them… and from my perspective that can only be racism.
Sorry to say, but I heard that collective sigh of relief when Palin was announced. Phew it echoed!!! “Don’t have to vote for the Black man and now I have a really good excuse, a white christian woman who loves killing animals and using her guns is running. Wow!!! And, she is an anti-intellectual… what could be better than that.”
America is doomed!!!

Hillary got more votes than Obama. She definitely got more votes than Biden. It is obvious that most of us did not fall for the MSM’ s tired line about “Clinton fatigue.”
It is also obvious that Obama doesn’t think that way either – he’s begging Bill and Hillary to campaign AND attack Palin for him and his “attack dog” Biden. Two sorry men without a set between them.
I must say though, this hypocrisy is rampant with Obama and his camp and his Supporters.
The only reason Hillary “lost” the nomination is because Obama cheated at the caucuses, demanded that Florida’s and Michigan’s vote be suppressed until such time it could benefit him, stole 4 of her delegates and paid the Super Delegates off.
Let‘s also mention the MSM who did not vet him as they relentlessly did Hillary and the DNC who helped to twist arms for endorsements, turned their heads when he stepped over line by crying racism and everytime someone said something about him and “selected” and carried his weak butt over the finish line.
And now, after all that, he is begging and waiting for Hillary to rescue him and help get him into the White House. What a PUNK! That is precisely why most Hillary Supporters do not respect him and will NOT vote for him.

Why don’t you think it is your duty to help save America from the destructive self-serving Republicans? Why would you participate in bringing America to her knees and keeping her there in favor of the few elite Republicans who always make money off government spending and tax cuts? Don’t you feel any moral obligation to the country, to your children and their children?

America is a great place for those who look make it so NOT to have someone else make it so for them. Bush has f’d up a few things by not leading but if you pull your head out of the liberal clouds the Bush is the worse President, Economy is the worst in how many decades etc, doesn’t stand up.

Obama picked Biden because he felt like his life would be endanger if HRC was VP because Hillary said something about this that might happen during her run for president.
And now Biden sounds like he doesn’t want to be on a losing team. Trying to talk Obama into a switch… but a switch will only happen if Biden has some phony health problem … Or the same thing happens to Biden that Hillary said might happen to Obama..
This is probably very scary to Senator Biden because he knows a lot about the way Washington works and what has happened to other people that were in the way.

If Obama can’t handle Palin and he has purposefully avoided Fox News for the same reason, that alone should tell America he doesn’t have the grit or political skills to be the President at this point in his life. If he wins, it will be a huge on the job training program but my guess is he won’t and he can go back to the Senate.
Then the question will be.. does he finally get involved with the Senate, or does he write another book while he votes “present” on the tough issues?

Has anybody noticed that in his response, Biden has shown a terrific sense of humility and respect for Hillary Clinton, and at the same time, McCain and his campaign have shown their utter disregard for honesty, a lack of dignity, and Karl Rove swift boat politics. By the same token, if Biden had responded by placing himself above Hillary, McCain and his campaign would attack him for sexism or being immodest. It’s absurd.

And don’t think for 1 minute, the fetus slaughtering, America hating, terrorist supporting, anti-tobacco but pro-recreational drug, corporate America hating, Bill Clinton cover upping, race baiting, anti-war (even though it worked to keep you from being attacked again) oil hating, global warming propagandists, are in the party with higher moral standards. Your ilk actually think parading out a hollywood “entertainer” to speak on your behalf is a GOOD idea?This is the LAST free advice I ever give to a LIB. SHE AIN’T ABOUT THE WOMEN”S VOTE!

You say Americans can’t “keep themselves afloat financially, who can’t get medical care, or decent affordable housing, education and transportation…”, that’s debatable. I say the answer is not to tax the hell out those that have and give to those that can’t or won’t but get government out of the back pocket of hard working Americans. Stop coveting your neighbor, and instead determine how one can improve their own quality of life without a handout from the government, which ultimately has come from those folks who have educated themselves and worked hard for what they have only to see a good portion of the fruits of their labors swept up and given away to those in our community with neither the will nor ambition to do for themselves. “Windfall Profit Tax” on “Big Bad Oil” is a joke, who owns those companies? We do! the American shareholder (although I personally don’t own shares in any oil company)And just like any company with good business sense to cover their expenses (which tax can be considered an expense) they have to cover those expenses in the price of their product, the price of the product increases, the “windfall profit” increases, tax increases. It’s a zero sum game. When will Liberals learn there is no FREE LUNCH. Someone has to pay, and its U.S.

Is it possible that maybe Biden purposely said those things? I mean, what if he’s planning on stepping down and refusing role as VP? Then Barrack Obama would need to choose another running mate. Biden just gave Hillary Clinton one hell of an endorsement, did he not?

“Those Dems who won’t vote Obama cause Hilary isn’t on the ticket are traitors to the party, and to America. Why don’t you think it is your duty to help save America from the destructive self-serving Republicans? Why would you participate in bringing America to her knees and keeping her there in favor of the few elite Republicans who always make money off government spending and tax cuts? Don’t you feel any moral obligation to the country, to your children and their children?
If not then we really need a new day. we need a third party that can restore America’s standing, and her promise to be the place where people do have freedoms, or can at least fight for them.”
Traitors? I don’t think so. We are not voting for Obama because he was not voted in by the people, rather, he was “selected” by the DNC. Please read my previous post concerning this issue.
Furthermore, although I have been a Democrat for as long as I could vote, the “Party” does not own me or anyone else and since a lot of us are disagreeing with the way that this party disenfranchised votes and women, why do you think we should be loyal to it?
The Democratic Party should change its name to the Obama Party. The Big O Party, as in zero, because that is who and what they are representing now.
The Democratic party has been thoroughly corrupted by a self-serving unqualified, hot mess of lies that calls itself Obama and taken over by a bunch of racist blacks. I am black and I know the bs that has gone down.
Now, don’t you feel any moral obligation to your country, your children and their children?
I would like to know how you could vote for a man based on the color of his skin, knowing that he is unvetted, unqualified, has a shady past with no records of anything he has ever done, can’t even produce a valid birth certificate and has questionable ties to some very un-American people and you want him for the job of POTUS?
You are right about one thing.
D*mn skippy, we need a third party. We need a party to replace the Democratic Party since it has proved itself to be corrupt and willing to take votes and do with them as they see fit. That’s not democracy – that’s Chicago thuggery and we don’t want it.
Lastly, I suggest you stop being bitter about people not wanting to vote for the Six Million Dollar Man and get over it – because we sure have.
PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 – In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I think Joe Biden should find a way to drop out, not that he is okay for the VP but I am sure if Hillary was offered the position, Obama would surely winn. Swallow your pride Obama and do the right thing. She should have been chosen from the beginning, it would have been a sure ticket to the White House. I am sick of all this arguing back and forth like school kids. Get to the main issues and show us what you are going to do for us.

if obama continues to implode like he seems to be doing. then its possible we’ll see a palin/jindal clinton/kaine or warner in 2012. that would be a great race. breaking all barriers.
it seems as if the dems always have the race won by a mile and then they drop the baton. I mean, as a republican i hated the bush presidency the last few years and expected the dems to blow us outta the water if they even put al gore, lol…well maybe not then. but still. how could you blow this, you’ve got everyone hating my party because bush is the so-called “leader” and his this representation of repubs that we all agree with bush. which we most certainly do not!….obama made the single biggest mistake with not having HRC on the ticket. mainly because of the clinton connection and they’re ability to make everyone vote for them.
i guess we’ll see….wow. thanks for the early christmas present though.

I askd her what she thoiught she would do if Biden left and Hilary joined the ticket.
Her answer: She will not vote for Obama-Biden and will not vote for Obama-Clinton.
She is hopping mad at the DNC… has tuned of MSNBC (she was a religous Hardball watcher) and is starting to tune in FOX.
Why? Because the DNC and Obamanoids thought she would be a lemming and fall in line.
They took her\… and women like her… for granted…… same condescending attitude to her as they have to “those bitter people who cling to guns and religion”.

Hillary wants the Presidency, not the VP slot. Can you imagine the insult to Hillary? I can hear Obama now: “I picked this dud, expressed full confidence in him, realized how terrible he was and how bad a decision maker I am, so now I need you and Bubba to save my dying campaign!” Hillary’s response? ” I have pledged to serve the party in any way that I can, and right now, the best way for me to do that is to continue to speak on behalf of my constituents and to raise money for Democratic candidates all across the country. I therefore respectfully decline the offer…”

The REAL PROBLEM WITH PALIN!
Did anyone here watch Sarah Palin’s speech in Alaska when she got home last night?
The Democrats real problem with Sarah Palin is not that she is a woman, but that she is just so darned charming and smart.
She gave a 20 minute speech last night with no script and there wasn’t a single misplaced word, not a single um, or ah, or oh, or other Obamaism.
I am a professional public speaker and I doubt I could do that.
Sarah Palin is impressive.

Posted by: Randy | September 11, 2008, 2:06 am 2:06 am

Obama made the right choice, at least as far as not picking Clinto as a running mate. If he were elected with Clinton as a VP, she would have spent the next four years stabbing him in the back and doing all she could to undermine him. He’s a lot safer with Joe Biden.

Posted by: Faucon24 | September 11, 2008, 2:12 am 2:12 am

The wheels have now definitely fallen off the Obama express; news flash – “Train Wreck in Progress”. If even the very person Obama picked doesn’t think he’s the right person then how in the world can we have any confidence in Obama selecting his staff? Jeremiah Wright as Secretary of State? Bill Ayers as Secretary of Defense? Tony Rezko as AG? (Oh wait, I mean once he’s out of jail…) Then there’s the rest of the cabinet to be filled with ~experienced~ community organizers. Yes, with Obama we’re gonna get us some real change fer shure! (My ‘earlier’ post was much shorter: He picked Biden? BWAAAAAHAHAHA!)

There is no way a Obama/Clinton ticket would win now. If that were his initial choice, then yes they would’ve easily won. Now, it would be like Obama saying, uhhhh well, I made a mistake picking Joe Biden, so I am now picking Hillary and we want to win. What a crock of CRAP! Are we that stupid?

The problem is, Obama is just so much better than everyone else in the world that no VP could ever match up to him. Obama diminishes everyone equally.

Sally is thinking just like I am…so far you are hardly hearing anything from Biden and when you do, he is laying a soft blow that Hillary may have been a better choice. He is just setting the stage for some sort of “medical” exit. If Obama came out ans replaced him for the good of the party, the republicans would kill him on his inability to make right decisions and he would never recover from that with only 7 weeks to go.

Posted by: Claimguy | September 11, 2008, 2:36 am 2:36 am

What’s worst — admitting the mistake or trying to make it worse by bring in the ‘correct’ choice. At this point, I think our nominee should HIMSELF step aside and let the more experienced take the lead. You know — “Coach: I’m taking you out Senator, I’m taking out, get out! Now, Hill, get in there and do what you can. Now, move!”

Posted by: Joe | September 11, 2008, 2:37 am 2:37 am

Biden projects a wise A image from a northern state and of course the red state people will reject him. Now, it is only six or seven battleground states that count and Biden will not help in most of them, but it really is that Obama is not really all that much trusted by voters outside of the northeast and looney west!

Posted by: rockychance | September 11, 2008, 2:46 am 2:46 am

Hillary has several issues…If she supports Obama to win and he won, he likely would be the prez for 2 terms which means she cant run for 8 years. Then, everytime a 2 term prez is done there is a ton of party baggage to overcome making it harder for her to win. If she slams Palen she slams herself as a woman and that would just be ammo for attack later. Her best prospect is for a republican to win now for her to be elected in 2012.

Mark: I usually like Australians, but the exception proves the rule.
Clearly you did not advance to debate level English or you would recognize that ad hominem is not an accepted level of debate.
Aside from being ignorant, it is also vulgar to label and name-call. That proves that you are a Leftist because Rightists do not behave in such a vile manner. They are higher class and would not behave in such a way to demean themselves.
That you would be so arrogant as to label excellent people who are the backbone of this country (doctors, nurses, policemen, firemen, businessmen, factory workers, farmers, and housewives as “redneck” and “moronic” speaks to you more than it does those you would judge. That you should accuse them of not having an expectation of “truth” is stunning. In fact, that is exactly what they demand. That you do not champion their righteousness is another problem for you to overcome.
You cannot show a single “lie” from the McCain camp, yet I can list dozens from the Obama camp.
So, that proves that you are an ideologue who has no interest in what is normally viewed as “truth.” [Truth is proven by factual matters; in black and white, through evidence, and without emotional outbursts, or name-calling, or biased sources.]
Actual proof does not align with your notions of truth and lies. That you are so hung up on “Republican liars” when you cannot prove any, is illogical. And, the notion that the Republican party is “greedy” does not comport with reality. In fact, Republicans give more to charity, consistently, then our opponents and that is fact.
Neither does the claim that we are “war-mongering” (you really need to take a few classes in history). Special interests is not an entirely bad charge, so you would have to be more specific. What is particularly disturbing is that you find zero problems with the Democrats. That is the mark of a zealot and zealots are never fair, nor do they exhibit any common sense when called on.
Lastly, we do not care “if the world wants Obama (they will also come to know him as a complete fool who is concentrated on number one and who cannot tell the truth to save his soul) or the Democrats.” You see, we view our role in the world as other than “wanting to be popular” or trying to please the ilk that prefer a vulgar specimen such as Obama. It is our heavy duty to reassure the world of continued democracy; if it is within our power to do so; we do not expect you to understand.
You should be ashamed of yourself, but clearly you are not, so we will ignore your claims that would be alarmed if a certain segment preferred John McCain to Obama. Your news is not a threat, but a reassurance that our candidate is the superior candidate.
The need to denigrate, diminish, and name-call is toxic; it diminishes us as a people. It is nothing to be proud of; but rather, something to work against. If you were familiar with sociological terms, you would be familiar with the notion of “the other.” That is to diminish to the point of dehumanizing so that state murders can be more carefully carried out

So many partisan hacks.
You are so blithley ignorant that all of these candidates offer mor of the same, or worse.
Obama/Biden is offering you communism lite.
McCain/Palin is offering you ineptness.
They are two sides of the same coin.
Niether party is considering the one policy that will fix the economy.
The Fair Tax. That will actually take power away from these politicians.
No more power to grant tax advantages to donors/political allies.
McCain: Status Quo
Obama: Promising anything but the status quo until faced with tough decisions. He will cave on all his campaign promises except for raising taxes.
To all the wealth envy crowd: The rich work around the tax codes. Corporations do not pay taxes, rather they collect them from you and pass them on to the government. Rasing taxes won’t fix our economy. Raising taxes will make us poorer.
To summarize, McCain will win. Maybe a little better than Obama, but no win for our country.

I do belive this opens the door for Biden to step away and I know they are discussing it. Clinton should be asking herself, if Obama could make this big of a mistake with so much on the line, then it does show his lack of experience, and swapping Biden out for me will just show he’s not up to the task. If the Dems are honest with themselves they have to see that the nomination of Palin, a VP choice, 2nd in command, with no real power has over shadowed their primary #1 choice to lead the country. I just heard two weeks of discussions in the media of how Palin and Obama compare with experinece. When the best the Dems can do is say the person we want to run the country has comparable experinece to the Republicans second stringer that’s a big Ouch for the Dems. Changing Biden will not help the ticket and will hurt Clinton far more then help her.

The Republicans are taking a simple compliment designed to show party unity and trying to stretch it to weaken a strong Democratic ticket ,in the face of the Truth: John McCain and Sarah Palin are more of the same feckless management that put our country in such a sad state to start with.
“I could walk from here to Manchester and doubt I’d find one person who would say the fundamentals are strong and the economy is roaring – unless I ran into John McCain,” Biden said.
I told him he and Senator Obama are the most formidable ticket in my 43 years and also appreciated the hug and his response to my question about enforcement of gun laws for people like Gregory W. Floyd, a multiple felon with a violent history. In my opinion Floyd murdered Liko Kenney but the Republican NH AG won’t refer him to the feds for weapons charges even though he has continued to own guns. That was me in the white pants and brown shirt standing behind Senator Biden during the video frequently shown.
http://christopher-king.blogspot.com/2008/09/new-bruce-mckay-evidence-and-kingcast.html
He gave me a hug and said “The Law is clear,” referring to recitation of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) in his administration no U.S. Attorney would fail to enforce the law.
I shoot guns (legally) but enough is enough.

I’m an independent and have voted for both Dems and Repubs in the past. Probably more Democrats.
I was all set to vote Democrat this year…until recently. First off, Obama is to the left of Bernie ‘Socialist’ Sanders and McCain is almost a Democrat. The more I look into Obama, the more I see an extremist. The more I look at McCain, the more I see a guy who bucks his own party and works with Democrats. The same goes for Palin. Those are on-the-record facts. Now, it seems the Obama shine has wore off and he has been exposed as the empty suit extremist that the RNC had originally painted him. The media is completely in the tank for Obama and he still cannot get any traction. Once again, the Democrat party brings us an EXTREME left wing choice. Just like John Kerry. If the Dems EVER want to win again, they need to nominate a more middle-of-the-road Dem, like Clinton. Like the Al Gore of 1988 or 1992. A moderate Dem would kick any Republicans butt! But, alas, as my UAW grandpa said to me….the nutjobs at moveon.org and George Soros have taken over our once great party. 1992 was not that long ago! Alas, I am voting for McCain/Palin.

As an independent, I see far too much emotion on both sides. Each side says the other one lies and both sides distort the truth. No matter who wins, I want them to do a good job and the questions I am interested in getting answered are lost in the lipstick, feminist, abortion, silliness. One issue should not determine what makes a candidate a good one. All of this emotion and put downs of the other guy isn’t getting us anywhere in a real issue debate. Ask yourself why you are so emotional and then think it through. May the best man, “or woman” win.

I find that being poor in America beats being rich anywhere else. I have been lucky in that I spend a month a year in a foreign country. That is why I am certain of my previous statement.

It is important to recognize the power of the US Constitution.
It is important to remember that our government has been agreed to by the people; just because YOU are no happy does not mean that I am not happy. Do not assume that others share your anger.
What you believe is “the fix” is viewed by others as simplistic, childish, been done before, prone to cheating, will drive sales underground, can not be regulated, can not be documented, jeopardizes the constitution, jeopardizes our power in the world, weakens the purchasing power, erodes our system, and will not be adequate for us to carry out our business. In fact, its promotion serves to weaken the US and will cause a huge constitutional crisis. There is a reason for our government and a reason for our constitution and a reason that they both exist; the Fair Tax would threaten the greatest democracy the modern world has ever seen. That is too great a risk merely to make YOU happy. In fact, you place too much emphasis on your own personal happiness, at the expense of others.
You are cynical. It is not the duty of the other citizens to concern themselves with your lack of ability to control your own emotions.
I guess it is important that we not be too giddy with our leaders; is that your point? Or is your point that our leaders are human? Or, is it that our leaders are doing the best they can, given that we are all human?

This is the funniest thing we’ve seen in years. McCain, Lieberman, Graham, and Biden have all been Senate buddies since the last century. It makes you wonder if Biden is really a Republican mole.

While I think Biden’s comments have been overblown (he was trying, I think, to offer a sincere compliment to Clinton), he must grasp the fact that he isn’t speaking in an arcane Senate hearing that even C-SPAN wouldn’t cover. He’s in the bigs now and every word matters. If Biden takes his Senate “rambler” approach into the debate with Palin, he’ll kill the ticket. It is Biden, not Plain, who should be brushing up for the debate.

You cannot pander to the women of America at this point, the damage was done months ago when Hillary was attacked, basically betrayed by those she thought were her allies and friends.
Hillary should be leading the Democrat ticket, not given second place. I for one will not be voting for Obama and his male fed ego. I refuse, what ever deal was done to get him the Presidential slot for the Democrat party was done will before the start of this primary. The women of this nation were once again told to stand at the back of the bus, your second best.
That goon Chris Mathews literally wet his pants every time Obama breathed, it was disgusting, no professionalism at all! I cannot get over the favoritism showed to Obama for uh, uh, uh, what!
Hillary could out talk him with her eyes closed, that clown has shown time after time he cannot say his own speech without his teleprompter, uh, uh,, lets say, ,,,uh,, uh, you know if you are in the emergency room,,,uh, duh oh, and like having a BREATH ANALYZER DONE, UH, UH, DOH OH!

You plagiarized, and we all know how you run your mouth from time to time; you already did it a couple of times since you became Mr. chauvinist elite. But the pick is not bad considering you fit in well with the “ordinary American” Mr. Obama, who graduated from Harvard…….

Message to Dems here hoping for St Hillary to ride in on her steed and save the day:
Last few days all Barak talks about is lipstick.
Biden now admits HRC would’ve been a better pick than he. (…ya think?)
If HRC is more qualified than Biden and Biden is more qualified than Obama, then why would HRC agree to ride in and replace Biden when its Obama she should be replacing?
What’s better for her: jumping in at the bottom of this ticket and losing vs. HRC 2012?

Posted by: Aurora27 | September 11, 2008, 3:37 am 3:37 am

Seems like Joe is more of a liability than an asset to the ticket. Obama turned his back on his own base and his act seems a little stale now. Hard to see how he can change perceptions between now and November. In truth, the Dems didnt seem to have any candidates that could convincingly win. Edwards never took off, Hillary ran a disfunctional campaign and Obama was the last man standing. His recent statements have just been disappointing, he appears weak lets the Rethugs define him and he doesnt look like a winner at all. God help us all.

I suppose you agree with Obama that both Russia and Georgia are equally to blame and they should just work to settle their differences.
I supppose you agree that McCain is a “liar” and that Obama is a “liar” but that Mrs. McCain and Mrs. Obama both look great in designer duds!
If you ever decide to come down off the mount, perhaps you can bring along one of the stone tablets and let me know exactly WHEN McCAIN LIED AND WHAT HE LIED ABOUT! I would like to know. In fact, I have an “in” to the campaign and I can even get answers on any McCain lies, so lay them on me!
Then, if you aren’t too sickened by the amount of sausage that is being made on the floor today, you might tell me ANY LIE THAT OBAMA HAS RESPONDED TO AND ANSWERED. Let’s start with his claim to have passed major legislation; names, dates, and numbers please. Then, let’s move on to his uncle who liberated Auschwitz. Please remind him that he has no uncle and that it was the Russians who liberated Auschwitz. Then, which Army unit did his grandfather serve in and what was his name rank and seriel number. Where did his grandmother work during the War and what was her name. Then, what about his votes on the current war. What were his actual dates in Indonesia? Then, what about his SAT and LSAT scores and his grades at Columbia and Harvard. Where is an ORIGINAL COPY of his birth certificate. Then, what about his education; he has claimed to have gone to both Muslim and Roman Catholic grade schools. When did he use the name Barry Soetoro? What was his actual relationship with Rezco? What was his relationship with Ayers and Dohrn? How could he not hear the preaching of white hatred by Rev. Jeremiah Wright? Does he advise his girls to keep track of slights against them by white girs

jean wrote “But you want to help Palin as if she is somehow equal to Hillary.”
I’d say she’s better. Not as much of an elitist for one thing. The democrat party claims to represent the “little guy”. Why would they attack a candidate like Palin? She had humble beginnings, worked her way up in politics. A person that started her political carrier in the PTA. She then joined the city council, ran for mayor and then governor. She gets a shot at VP and is not a Washington insider (unlike Biden and Hillary). Why are they attacking? I’ll tell you why. Because the selection of Palin shows the Democrat party for whom they are. The feminist movement within the party is a lie. Not for women, just certain kinds of women. The pro-abortion crowd is a big bunch of fakes and cowards. They would have wanted Palin to have aborted little Trig because they, in their elite wisdom, deem him imperfect. They want to raise taxes on the businesses we work for. Do you honestly believe this will help US productivity? And how is that going to affect your raises?

So tell me when a 3% chance for change became better than a 10% chance? If you don’t believe the 97% number , just go to the Washington Post’s website and you can check the record. The Dem Controlled Congress is about to break into single digits for their approval rating , and yet 47% of my country men and women can’t see that Barack is just a puppet for Pelosi and Reid. He stands up there and they control him. I am so glad that people are finally starting to see the cracks.

Thats is the best thing to happen to the U.S. lately.Life becomes very scary with a man like BO in charge.

I would LOVE to see a debate between Palin and Hillary. It would show that Palin is just as well or better at debating than Hillary.
Obama showed lack of judgement by not choosing Hillary. He showed lack of willingness to listen to his own party and 18 million voters.
I love it that the left thinks McCain chose Palin to get Hillary voters…. NOT! He chose Palin because she is more conservative than McCain, who happens to be the most liberal republican in the country… McCain is more in the center of issues than all other candidates.

Every one seems to be missing the point, even though Biden is a moron, he is more qualified to be POTUS than Obama. The dems made a big mistake by nominating Obama. Granted Biden was not the best pick for VP, the problem still exist at the top of the ticket. As much as the Mainstream media tries to cover up, the constant bumbling, and male chauvinism, idiotic policy proposals, and what I feel is the most important issue of Obamas background and his ties to questionable figures such as Ayers, Wright,and Rezco. The American people are not stupid, so please don’t insult us. Rudy Guiliani was right when he stated that Biden should get that VP thing in writing. Because Hillary is comming and the Dems have never been concerned about credibility, whatever it takes to get elected, they only care about being elected at any cost and if you have to scorche the earth, so be it.

He realizes, although he may like Barack, he doesn’t identify with him and the politics that brought him to power. The unsavory characters who were so central in BO’s life are not the group with whom Biden wants to be associated. Who could blame Joe? He should have chosen Hillary. They are both huge fans of Saul Alinsky. Hillary worked with Saul and wrote her senior thesis on Alinsky. For Joe, its like finding out your attractive fun spouse was a former pornstar.

If a repub had said it, and Jebus help us, if Palin had said it… you’d be doing backflips and handsprings in your little hand-wringing glee that you ‘had some dirt’. Not unlike how you all latched on to the ‘fake pregnancy–coverup’ story the other day. Ugh.

Face it, you dems are so eaten up with identity politics that you made the mistake of pitting feminazis against racial minorities. You want to know why the Obama-siah picked Biden? Because Obama’s angry wife hates Hillary, and won’t stand for her on the ticket!

If nothing else, Sen. Biden’s comment proves one thing…If he cares about his country so much and knew Sen. Clinton would of been better for our country, then why did he accept the V.P. nomination? Easily answered; he and Mr.Obama put themselves first, instead of their party and country. If he and Mr. Obama decide to pull him from the V.P. slot and replace him with Sen. Clinton now, it proves that the Democratic Party is running scared and Sen. Clinton is their only and last resort to win the election. How phoney this party is!!

Hillary should let him loose and run in 2012. Why should she put up with cr@p from yet another man?

Posted by: Molon Labe | September 11, 2008, 4:53 am 4:53 am

The media gets it wrong againf. Biden is not the real problem it is Obama. Move Obama out, put Biden in P and Hillary as VP or vice versa.

Obamessiah and his socialist campaign are falling apart. Gov. Palin has more experience than anyone on either ticket. She has actually “ran” something other than a Senate office or a re-election campaign. Obama’s change message went out the window when he chose Biden, someone who has never held a real job outside of his Senate seat. Biden has been in Washington since the Nixon administration. This is change? McCain may not be the next Reagan but he sure ain’ the next Jimmah Carter either….

What you all fail to realize is that it’s not that BO are not sticking to the message. It’s that the rest of America doesn’t like the message. It wouldn’t matter who is on the ticket. He only looked so good because he was up against other Dems. Now that it’s clear how hollow and inexperienced this man truely is. You stir the soup all you want but your ingredients are still the same. Changing your cooks is not going to make what you’re serving up taste any better.

When the Russians went into Georgia, Obama asked if they had burned Atlanta yet.

Posted by: Don | September 11, 2008, 4:58 am 4:58 am

At this stage of the game, dropping Biden for Hillary would be the surest way of losing the election for Obama, in my opinion. He would be seen as a man who could not make up his mind, or makes mistakes that have to be fixed down the road (and in addition, proving that McCain’s pick of a woman VP was the right choice to begin with). That’s a disastrous characteristic to show in a Presidential campaign. – The Republicans would eat him alive on this, I’m sure: a good commercial about all the flip-flops and then this tacked on. Your oppenent crashed and burned, huh, Mav? – McCain would love it! Secondly, Biden has stuck his foot in his mouth again, by saying outright that Hillary is probably the better choice. What condifdence in himself!! -Good golly, you don’t second guess your boss out loud on the Campaign Trail in public! I mean, even if Biden is hinting for Obama to change out the VP slot, do it privately, and publically use some excuse to step down. All in all, it just points out Obama’s inexperience anyway it plays. So far, Obama is reeling and I wonder if he can steady himself by election time. And we still haven’t see the debates yet, where McCain/Palin might have an edge. Wow.

Posted by: Saith | September 11, 2008, 5:01 am 5:01 am

Please Americans wake up let’s go over what an Obama / whoever presidency would be like.
1. You want to tax the “evil” rich more fine they will just pull their money out of the US and move it off shore like the left’s hero George Soros. This means so goes the money investment so goes the job market.
2. Let’s tax those evil oil companies – no one like s the cost of fuel but don’t think for a second the companies would either just raise the gas prices more or reduce the production.
3. His tax plan is a joke – an increase tax on people making 250,000 – this group is where most of the stock buying is generated. Cut their ability to use that money and gee guess what no venture capitalist, equals no startups, equals no new jobs.
Remember good old Jimmy Carter 18.6 % interest – employment 10% +
4. Free health care – for who the American tax paying citizen or the 12 million plus illegal aliens who over run our schools, hospital and of course the prisons. If socialized health care is so great why do the Canadians, British and who ever really need medical attention come here? I was in England and you ask the real people on the street they will tell you about waiting days to see a doctor. Someone will still have to pay for the medical cost again Joe Public will be adding another 10% tax to the pay checks.
CHANGE – Better think what kind of change you want – Hitler & Stalin said the same thing to the people of Germany & Russia too. That is why America could only take 4 years of Jimmie Carter before they realized his “change” was not right for America.
OBAMA – is just another snake oil salesman like Jimmie if you want unemployment back up to 10% and interest rates back to 15 to 20% and your pay checks drained for every welfare low life or illegal alien living on your money then vote for OBOMB -BO

Now they hate the troop, want to lose in Iraq, and are truly unpatriotic. All they know how to do and all they have going for them is hating Bush.

Joe? What are you saying? Sometimes I think you need to think about what you’re going to say before you say it. I’m afraid Joe Biden can be a loose cannon sometimes. Just for the record, Hillary probably wouldn’t have accepted the VP spot anyway. The problem is – this campaign is not about the issues – its becoming about personalities and who is seen as more exciting. Exactly the way Bush was seen in 2000 as a guy one would like to have a beer with. Gore was too stiff. The issues will have to take a back seat again this election. It is depressing to think that Americans can’t stay on message and have to be “entertained”.

Posted by: Bob | September 11, 2008, 5:11 am 5:11 am

I think it would be a good move; however, picking Hilary at this point in the game I think would cause the party to become divided and not unified. It would also demonstrate how desperate us demacrates are becoming to win this election. Afterall, the Clintons would overtake the whitehouse and Obama wouldn’t have a say. Why can we not find a solution to getting elected that does not involve the Clintons? Obama has the charisma that Bill had so what is the problem? There should be many more 18 – 50 year olds voting then there are 50 – 100 year olds. I wish the old generation would think about their grand children and stop thinking about themselves. Get away from the prejudice would you “old generation”?

This is so delicious! If the dimocrats ever had a chance to get in the WH, they were positive this was it. GWB’s ratings are low because of a solid 8 years of constant negative attacks by the liberal press. This was their election to win and, in their minds, win big. Hillary thought she was a shoe in. IF Obama replaced Biden with Hillary at this point it would be an obvious sexist ploy on his part, a move out of desperation. I hope, for the sake of my country, that McCain/Palin win big. A McCain Palin victory would be a crushing blow to dimocrats, one they richly deserve. They have lied about so many things over the past 8 years and used natural disasters like 911 and Katrina as political tools to gain an advantage in this election. I am a conservative and was not on board with McCain on many issues. He has 100% of my support because of the Palin pick. It is disgusting to watch dimocrats and Barack Hussein Obama try to deingrate this wonderful woman but it’s awesome watching them fail. Here’s a history lesson dimocrats, can you name another 2 year Governor with almost exactly the same resume as Palin exept gender that became VP? Teddy Roosevelt, look it up.

Scott: I sort of disagree with you because I think HRC on the ticket even now, will pull the Dems together and still give them a good chance of winning. If nothing else, would really make the coming days of the election extremely interesting. HRC wants a shot in 2012. If the Repubs get in now and do well the next four years, she will be finished as a potential first lady President.

That’s why he gets in so much trouble. I don’t think he is right on the issues, but I admire that much about him. Obama is the opposite. He says all kinds of things, and I’m not convinced he believes any of it. Biden is being congenial here. You can be sure he’s been told not to enrage the Hillary supporters that they are desperately trying to woo. This is a non-story.

Hillary has no honor or dignity, only a lust for power. She proved that by defending Bill, even as he was making her the laughing stock of the civilized world. Can there be any doubt that she would crawl back to Obama in a New York second if he threw her a bone?
She would probably lick his shoes along the way.
That’s not the role model I want for my daughter. Sarah Palin is. She’s strong, confident, capable, funny, politically formidable, and attractive… to borrow her own phrase, “Quite a package”.
Foreign policy experience?
Facing down Putin?
For the benefit of publicly schooled Democrats:
Many people went from governorships to the PRESIDENCY without serving in Congress or having foreign policy experience. A few recent examples: Clinton, Carter, Reagan, George W. Bush.
As soon as one gets elected as president or vice president, he or she starts receiving daily intense and detailed briefings on the state of the world by experts of two permanent government agencies, the State Department and the National Security Council.
Do any of you women (and such respecters of women) doubt that Governor Palin is as capable as the other governors named above of learning new information?
As VICE president, she won’t even need to be ready on “Day One”.
The misogyny of the Democratic leadership and the mainstream media is really transparent.
Why does a woman governor need foreign policy experience to run for VICE PRESIDENT but no one questioned the above named male governors about it when they ran for PRESIDENT?
Governor Palin IS going to be the first woman vice president and Governor Jindal (from another vital energy state) WILL BE the first minority race president or vice president. Take that to the bank.
It’s the gas stupid!

Hmmm…liberal media bias example # 456. Todd Palin’s DUI from 22 years ago is all over MSNBC, but the fact Obama admitted to shoving cocaine up his nose around the same time garners no air time at all!!!
It’s a good thing that Keith+Chris on MSNBC only have about 14 viewers combined…

The private lunch meeting today between Buba and Obama will decide whether Biden is replaced by Hillary as VP candidate. Buba will try to convince Obama that if Hillary is selected and elected as his VP, then he (Buba) will keep a low profile and not interefere in Obama’s Presidency. If he succeeds convincing Obama, Biden is history. (Of course, Buba’s promises to behave himself will be lies)

Posted by: Dan | September 11, 2008, 6:05 am 6:05 am

De-selecting Biden and picking Hillary would be a great move…for the Republicans! Talk about a major Flip-Flop. Obama can’t even pick a VP, how can he govern a nation. And Hillary would be a disaster. She is so self-centered and power hungary.
Obama isn’t ready to lead. Put him back in the oven for a while, let him get some experience actually governing – maybe have him run for governor of Illinois, then let him run for President.
McCain/Palin is the best choice for 2008.

Stupid, stupid comments. I cannot stand HRC, but she would be a fool to join Obama now. Not a shred of respect to take Obama’s 2nd’s leftovers! Do you think Biden could have made his kind comments without making himself look so pathetic? Wow, you gotta have confidence for this guy now because he believes in himself so much. Haaaahahaha.

PeeVee,
That’s my point. For HRC the real prize is the White House, not the Naval Observatory. For the sake of argument, let’s assume that somehow Biden drops out and BO goes crawling to HRC and she accepts the nomination and they actually win in November- HRC is frozen out until 2016, she can’t run in 2012 as BO would seek a second term. HRC would be 69 and a prominent fixture on the national scene for 24 years. How do you inspire at that point? You are too well known. The only benefits for her would be that Bill may or may not be alive and the various scandals of their time in office would be distant memories. That would not be enough. For her it is 2012 or never. So I would have to believe that she would decline the offer were it presented and have Howard Wolfson, Lanny Davis, et al telling every media outlet in the country of her declination within seconds of making it which would have the effect of completely destroying BO’s foundering campaign.

Posted by: Scott | September 11, 2008, 6:12 am 6:12 am

The Dems are in trouble and they know it. McCain trumped Obama by picking Palin as his VP choice and it turned out to be a brilliant move! In terms of chess, this would be close to Checkmate. Obama is finished! With no tele-prompter during the upcoming debates, he is doomed. Mark my word. The man says some pretty dumb things when he’s freestyling.

Biden’s remarks could be the prelude for a withdawal by Biden as VP so Clinton can step in. With Obama getting trashed right now this scenario is not out of teh realm of possiblity.
Most likely we would see this occur soon to take this strong focus off Palin and allow Clnton to debate Palin.
This approach would be in keeping with Obama’s history of doing that which is politically expedient.
The Dem’s have missed the real event with Palin and are misjudging the reason McCain chose Palin. The Liberal women supporting Clinton are jsut like the blacks. Thwy will vote for Obama simply because he is one of them. It is the rest of the women of America that have nothning in common with Clinton that Palin connects to. And with them may come two votes, as husbands say, “Yes honey, you’re right.”

Posted by: independentview | September 11, 2008, 6:17 am 6:17 am

Yes, the candidate for change should change his runnning mate with less than 2 months to go. That won’t continue to call his lack of good judgement into question. Face it, The One is in a big pile of #2. Who will win is still up in the air, but one senses that the air is being sucked out of one candidacy. Will they have enough to reach the finish line? VOTE! Not for celebrity or hype on either side, but for what keeps you safe and prosperous as individuals and a community.

Obama will not drop Biden. First Obama is too egotistical to do this. He would seem weak to choose another person, even if Biden dropped himself we would all know he did it at Obama’s request. He won’t pick Hillary because he can’t stand her and she would outshine him. Obama is begging President Clinton for help today at a lunch meeting too what more does that tell us? It means Obama is scared and running and has to ask the Clintons what to do. How on earth could anyone vote for Obama who cannot stand on his own feet and make good decisions without having to consult with the Clintons what to do next?

Posted by: Beth | September 11, 2008, 6:22 am 6:22 am

Again a disclaimer: I am a conservative.
Everyone here is calling for Biden to move out of the way. Personally I thought Biden was the best choice and most intimidating to the McCain campaign. If Obama switches now, it will show a complete lack of judgment and fortitude. It will be the perfect reminder (and will be used in campaign commercials) of Democrats actions during this war. They were all for it at the beginning, but when things started getting tough they freaked out and made rash decisions. In the end Biden will ‘surge’ if you stick with him and you’ll see he is the right guy. Again, I like him as a person, but I hate his stand on the issues. Nonetheless, if I have to have a liberal President I’d rather it be someone capable (if not exactly verbally restrained) like Biden. Believe it or not, Obama’s inexperience really is a problem to people. It’s not just Republicans trying to tear a candidate down because they don’t agree.

Whatever happened to the elections being about our country(the USA, in case anyone forgot). It is NOT about the McCain’s, Clintons, Obama’s or Palin’s. An what is it with this legacy garbage. To be perfectly honest I don’t think most of us (at least not me)would want anyone of these people as our friends or neighbors. It is about the USA and governing our great country. And could we please stop basing it on race or gender or building these people up to be the last great hope. Do any of these people hang out with normal people. Look at how much they give to charity compared to their wealth. Why can’t we elect Jane or Joe mechanic. He wuld probably care more for us then these people. Since when were these positions – Senate, president house supposed to be a life ambition. If you look back in time most politicians wanted to be in private industry not governcrats for life.If any of these politicians were not on the scene our country would survive with out them.
We just need the best people for the job. Unfortunately, if they were poor or not highly educated we would ignore them.

Posted by: Biff | September 11, 2008, 6:25 am 6:25 am

The problem with Hillary on the ticket is that she would hide in the background like Palin to come out and say the same old crap over and over again. Clinton certainly had the qualifications but she would have wanted to be co-president. And then there would always have been Bill lurking over both of their shoulders. In hindsight, having Clinton on the ticket might have counter-acted Palin but it would have come with a high cost.

Some are now contemplating the Democratic version of lipsticking a pig…a Clinton substitution for Biden. It’s as if somehow replacing a Biden with a Clinton will magically rectify the Democratic party’s dilemma of mistakenly having chosen the most liberal Senator on record to head its ticket. And if that’s not bad enough, Democrats falsely harbor the premise that middle America will opt to vote for Obama in spite of his leftist leanings. I doubt such a ruse of stroking a Clinton cosmetic on the ticket would fly with most voters; on the contrary, such a move would breed even more antipathy and distrust among middle American voters who are already distrustful of Obama on so many fronts. And how would Obama get away with it? Would Obama try to reassure voters that Hillary Clinton was really the real change they had really been waiting for all along? Really? Laughable and absurd, yes…but possible…even likely…if Obama’s internals are as bad as I suspect. Not to mention, McCain would have a field day with such a late course correction. To throw Biden under the bus would only serve to make Obama appear even more confused and indecisive than he currently projects. Voters would see such a ploy as an act of desperation, and, more importantly…a betrayal of Senator Biden. Short and sweet…a Clinton substitution would be the political death knell for Obama. Now, would Hillary hitch her wagon to such a scheme? Yes, if the price were right. I suspect Barack and Hillary, together with Bill, are currently negotiating terms. But, such an alliance would prove to be a very hard sell, and in the end, people still vote for the ticket-topper. All this makes me believe that as the election nears, the Electoral College map will eventually favor McCain.

Posted by: Paul Sloan | September 11, 2008, 6:29 am 6:29 am

Another reason Obama wouldn’t want Hillary if Biden bailed out is that over half of Obama’s supporters say they would not vote for Obama if he chose Hillary for VP because they don’t like or trust her.

Perhaps McCain isn’t ready to be in the White House? His judgment and selling of his VP choice now puts the age factor into play. Posters and some of the writers in the media are already asking this. What happens if Sarah steps into the White House if God forbid something happens to McCain? She is anti-abortion. A Schmidt and Rove wedge issue. She believes the earth started 6,000 years ago. The conservative crowds have come out in force for her. What are her positions on the rest of the issues? Will she start flip flopping on these issues? The media can’t interview her.

…and if you were to research the bills that were voted down for the military (and I am a 25 year military vet) – he voted down due to all of the addition “BS”riders the Dems tried tacking on to them – just do some research before you run off about things you don’t understand -
“Oh well said troll. So, you are gonna vote your anatomy instead of the well being of our troops. McCain has voted against our veterans on every vote. Thanks for the wonderful support ladies, we men and women military veterans will remember it for years to come.”

Ya know, this entire Dems vs GOP “We Must Win” each side is using to win at all costs is such a load, the only the Dung Beetles stand to benefit.
If Obama wins, the mid term elections will swing GOP heavy in congress
If McNasty wins, the mids will swing Dems…
So, all the promises go by the wayside, the presidents effectiveness is nil at best, and congress ratings dive to the basement.
Just as we have now…. “Until we change the system, the system will not change”
The simple truth is were hosed no matter who wins.

Where will HRC be in 012 or 016, without Obama’s 18 million and his registered supporters. Biden’s comment was just a humble statement. You don’t get it. Obama judgment is proven: his pick of biden, his opposition to Iraq war from beginning, his commitment for a timetable of 16 months for withdrawl from Iraq, his support for surge in Afganistan and pledge to destroy terrorists, his pledge for diplomatic dialogue with Iran and Russia. If you don’t like his judgment, then certainly you should vote for McCain/Palin, and take this country to 8 more years to further anihilation at home and abroad and face a disasterous economy and energy crisis. Yes, McCain’s picks for Supreme Court, his privatizing of Scial Security and Healthcare, selling of energy policy in the hands of big oil, his selling of government in the hands of big corporations will bite you again and again. And, Palin will be well trained to do the same in next 8 years. Yes, do it again to yourself and others. And, in 016, good luck for a race between Palin and Hillary. No, Iwouldn’t call you dumb-fools, you are honorable men and women, perhaps you know better than I do.

The question is which ticket will protect and defend the Constitution of The United States.
Not many have in the passed 60 years but have promoted “Bread and circuses” much to the schagrin of those of us who have at least read the Constitution of The United States at least Once.
The President is not our “Daddy” and is unable to do anything that can directly benefit us. If he/she can do anything to protect us it is to “defend and protect our “Republic”.
O’Boma seems to be attempting to change the “Republic” to “The Sociallist Republic”
McCain with Palin at least offer HOPE that they will not help to increase the speed toward a “Socialist – communist – faciest – Nazi(National SOCIIAIST) or some other socialist sceem in which all look to the Government as their benefactor.
It has never worked and never will. Frankley it is put in placc to ellivate those in charge to be the elete and the rest to be the “worker ants”

I’m not a Democrat but it seems to me if Obama picked Clinton, she and her husband would be second guessing every decision Obama made. It wouldn’t work for him. From her perspective, he could send her, as VP, to ship christenings and teas in Outer Slobovia and she’d be out of sight for 4 years. C’mon, she practically told us she was more important in White House decisions than Gore. That wouldn’t be good for her to be the third guy. Her best scenario is to lead in the Senate, provide faint support for Obama but don’t go overboard, hope McCain wins and wait for 2012.

Posted by: LauraC | September 11, 2008, 7:14 am 7:14 am

All this talk of HRC swooping in and “saving” the ticket is a pipe dream, and would require a reconvening of the DNC Convention – that is, unless the Democrats want to face accusations of “changing the rules” after the game is played.
Oh wait – they’re liberals. Only “other people” are bound by the “rules.”

How ironic that you like him so much you don’t want to see him go. I am sure he’ll be touched by your sentiments.
In fact, Obama can step down as well.
You better check the rules in fact.
If Obama steps down late enough, the election under certain circumstances can be postponed! Can you imagine that history in the making!?!

Liberals have done a very good job of turning a lot of citizens against their causes. Look at all the Hollywood support. Since when does an average person pay any attention to people that make their living pretending to be someone else. Being a great actor does not make you any more informed on world events than the rest of us.
Understanding and love of your fellow man is put forth by the liberal Hollywood set when they are on TV calling conservatives dumb, stupid, ignorant, uneducated and sometimes a lot worse. I do not approve of some of President Bushes actions but the bashing that he has taken from the liberals has turned 36 percent of the public off to any liberal ideas. The Hollywood liberals claim to have such high goals for the world and yet they go about setting a very poor example for the young people of the world by using drugs, being arrested for DUIs, going to bed with anyone at the drop of a hat and some of them even bad mouth those that have faith in god. So when the democrats think the represent the majority of the citizens of the United States they are way off. And the hard times that are upon us will only bring together god fearing men and women to oppose the liberal welfare programs that the democrats want to burden the working public with.

I don’t think you HRC folks get it. David Gergen said it, “If Obama picks Clinton, he’ll have to hire a food-taster.” Furthermore, any politician that’s got a brain understands power and Obama isn’t stupid. He’s grabbing the power away from the Clintons. They run the Democratic party and when you’re taking power you better be careful who you share it with. The problem is the Clintons don’t share power. If she was VP – oh my – she and her husband would be in Obama’s business at every turn. Obama doesn’t want that and if he’s going to be effective, he doesn’t need it either. He doesn’t need those two in his backyard. He would constantly have to manage those two and he doesn’t need the distraction. Obama should be strong enough to stand on his own without being propped up by a VP. If you’re not strong enough to do that – you can’t govern effectively.

The Democrats already are running around wondering what to do with the polls going south like a bunch of rabid strays. Do you honestly think they’ll dump Biden and insert Hilliary? This isn’t a basketball game where you substitute players from the bench. This is a legal process whereby each major party choses candidates for national election to govern the United States of America for the next four years. The last time the Democrats tried something this stupid was when George McGovern replaced Tom Eagleton in 1972 after revelations about mental illness and electroshock therapy. That paved the way for a landslide victtory by Richard Nixon and Spiro Agenw. What’s a party to do?

Looks like the stage is set for a Biden outster, “for the good of the party.” That leads the way for the VP nod to go to HRC. But wait, what’s this? HRC suddenly reminding the Dems that there was never an actual binding vote to make BHO the Prez runner? That she called for the acclimation vote in a spirit of “party unity?” That she has already demonstrated she, not BHO, is the (w)o(ma)ne who can unify the Dems against the newly re-energized Red-Staters?

Posted by: Splatter | September 11, 2008, 7:34 am 7:34 am

As an Independent, I am so amused at this drama. Just think back to the day several weeks ago when Sarah Palin was first announced by John McCain. The Socialists were patting themselves on the back for Hussein’s wonderful judgment in earlier picking Biden and suggesting that McCain, in his pick of Sarah, had just executed a “cheap and desperate political move”. They further claimed it was “proof” that John McCain was incapable of being the POTUS because of “his bad judgment in her selection” and worse, he didn’t tell the MSM in advance so they could get a leg up on their negative smear research of this amazing new woman on the political scene. WOW can you now believe that? Now, to suggest that HRC had/has any desire or thought, of bailing this clown Hussein out, is even funnier. Why would she? This empty suit dude will take himself out clearing the way for her to resume her over the top power ambitions in 2012 (actually the day after McCain takes the oath in January 2009). What worries HRC most now is not the defeat of Hussein, but the rise of the Sarah Palin star. HRC is already gaming how it will be to face off against an incumbent VP (or even and incumbent POTUS, God forbid). The HRC train has already left the Hussein Obama platform. What keeps HRC awake at 3AM these days is how can she bring down an incumbent VP (or President , God forbid) Sarah Palin and prevent Sarah from driving the final wooden stake into her (HRC) small cold heart. This sure beats all of the new TV shows. Stay tuned and watch John & Sarah celebrate on Election night! I can’t wait to see the likes of Chris Mathews, Keith Obermann and Rachel Medows (?) gravel and announce their exit from now doomed America to a more friendly Socialist State. Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way OUT!

IMO, Michelle nixed Hillary… remember when O (the other “O”, not Oprah) said that he looks to Michele’s judgement to help him make decisions? Well, anyone could see that Hillary and Michelle rankled each other. I think that is because they are both strong women who want to have their way, and only their way. There is no way Michelle wanted her husband to be subject to the influence of Hillary over herself, in my opinion. Michelle’s over-active ego will be part of the dynamics of the Obama presidency if he wins (heaven forbid). That will bring “change” to America allright, but is it the change we really want?

I believe Sen. Biden was only being gracious especially in the spirit of true reconciliation. However, it is apropos to rexamine Obama’s decision to go with Sen. Biden instead of Hillary Clinton.
I have heard Paul Begala question McCain’s VP pick. The real issue is Obama’s VP pick. What was Obama thinking about? Why would he choose a candidate that hardly scored 70 thousand votes to one tht scored over 18 million votes? This is even more worrisome especially given the task before the nation and the electioneering stakes. They have never been higher in this nation’s history.
I believe that Obama became too confident that he had the election under wraps and would win even if he chose Osama Bin Ladin as his running mate. He thought he understood America and that American’s would always prefer especially when the party in power had not done well. He got it wrong.
This decision and his decision to go after Sarah Palin instead of John McCain reflects the quality of his experience. He is critically lacking in this area and in sound judgment devoid of political rhetoric.
The black race in America will blame Obama for squandering their chance to access the presidency which is significant for purely symbolic reasons, due to Obama’s abdication of a higher sense of responsibility. he has always said this election is not about him. He is right. It is about America and racial parity. It is about America and healing. It is about America and the prospects of continued prosperity anchored on freedom, liberty, justice, good health, fairness, discipline, accountability and responsiblity.
Obama needs to do an introspection to determine whether he has been fair to all those men and women who stood by him through thick and thin, who wore themselves thin by donating and volunteering for his campaigns, and who had great hopes that he would do the right thing for America. His choice of Biden (a great man in every respect) was a serious error in judgment that i doubt he can undo.

He tried, and I blaime Oprah,for motivating him into something that was too big for him at this time. He is not ready to take the leadership of this great country. We are praying that Sara will not be one heartbeat away from the presidency,because we believe that McCain will finish his term. But,think of this if Palin is one heartbeat away from the Presidency, this is a nightmare, Polosi, is two heartbeat away,uggggg……Sorry OBiden, you must finish the campaign no matter what, even if it is going down. I was going for Hillary, I pray that Hillary will not think of playing second choice, that would be terrible for her, if she should want to run in the future. An Obama/Clinton will not win, too late, he should have thought of that before he he chose those looser, Vetters.

Obama’s VP wouldn’t make a difference. He’s too immature to handle the pressures of running for Prez. The DNC delegate from New York was right. He is “an inadequate black male.”

Posted by: wd5jhi | September 11, 2008, 7:54 am 7:54 am

Even more of a reason to not vote for Obama. If he selects the second best for VP instead of the best then what does that say about his sincerity to do the best for America?
Just more double speak and another reason to vote for the Republican ticket.

Obama’s choice of Biden is as incredible as it is ridiculous and ludicrous. An old African proverb says “when a man goes mad he dances naked.” Obama went mad with his choice of Sen. Biden and now he must dance naked.
I expect to find more desperation with his campaign and more bad calls. I expect to see a real implosion that will explode every last vestige of hope that he will lead America.
As a black man, Obama owes me an apology for setting the black race up for failure by his carelessness and selfishness. He should not be allowed anywhere near the presidency because he does not deserve to be there. It should never be Obama first and the country last; rather, it should be the ntion first.

Foot-in-mouth Joe just told everyone what we already figured out: A man who never got much more than 1% of primary votes couldn’t do much good to help Mr. Obama win. The fact that he admits it is really crazy. He admitted that Mr. Obama used poor judgement when he picked him.
Mr. Obama star is falling, falling.

Posted by: seniah76 | September 11, 2008, 8:09 am 8:09 am

Oddly, even though I’m a strong conservative, I feel empathy for the Democrats in the pain I see expressed on this site.
A few elections cycles back, the Republicans fielded the Dole/Kemp ticket. While both Bob Dole and Jack Kemp were nice, decent fellows; it was pure agony watching them campaign.
Bob’s monotone speeches would put anyone to sleep in seconds. Jack, while better, didn’t have the ability to generate momentum.
That year (1996), the Republicans nominated the “next tenured politician” in the party instead of a candidate who could win.
There are similarities. Obama is not the Democrat with the best chance to win and Biden can’t generate momentum.
Obama’s missteps remind me of Bob Dole falling of the stage during one of his rallies. It had nothing to do with the issues, but the press had a field day portraying him as an old goof ball.
Who knows how this election will turn out, but the Democrats have nominated an empty suit and blathering wind bag.
I also think Biden was a poor choice if he is supposed to strengthen the ticket in national defense and foreign affairs. If you look carefully at Biden’s voting record in the Senate for over three decades, his key votes have been on the wrong side of history. I’d be surprised if Palin couldn’t hand Biden his lunch in their upcoming debate with all the poor judgment Biden has demonstrated with his voting record–the list is long and embarrassing.
The dynamics are different, but watching the Obama/Biden team has to be as painful for Democrats now as it was for me enduring the Dole/Kemp campaign in 96.
It’s still a toss up, but at this point, I probably feel better about the progress that the McCain/Palin campaign is making than most Democrats are currently feeling about the Obama/Biden seemingly endless missteps.

Posted by: FMB501 | September 11, 2008, 8:11 am 8:11 am

Obama chose Biden, he accepted, get on with it. Too bad Biden and Clinton seem to be the top choices. When her husband was president, Hillary Clinton had every health care professional at her disposal to help put together a national health care plan and it was a disaster, would have cost the taxpayers millions and millions of dollars to implement every year. Soon after 9/11 at a thank-you celebration for emergency responders in NYC Clinton was actually boo-d when she came on stage. And what happened to that southern accent, Mrs. Clinton? Biden’s blatant plagiarism forced him to drop out of the 1988 presidential election. Other plagiarisms followed — said he graduated from law school at the top of his class – false; said he went to law school on a full academic scholarship – false. Clinton or Biden?? They’re both awful.

HOW THE DEMOCRATS CAN WIN THE WHITE HOUSE
Bring candidates who:
Have distinguished military service backgrounds and are not disaffected.
Don’t have the sexual morals of an alleycat.
Want to promote the interests of the US over globalism.
Don’t want to take away 2nd Ammendment rights from citizens.
Demonstrate that they understand that “the economy” is the economy of individuals, not the government, industry and other institutions.
Do not see that the answer to all problems is the empowerment of the state.
AT ONE TIME there were plenty of Democrats coming to the fore who had these characterstics. When the democratic party returns to these overarching philosophies, they will return to the White House in strength and without having to scam the system to get in.

Obama cannot choose Hillary if Biden were to step down. Polosi, Michelle, Brazille, and the rest of the DNC would never aprove of it. Obama’s ego is too big and it cost him this election.

0 chance of that.
And so the Democrats get a rookie who can’t speak off the Teleprompter: one day it’s “my Muslim faith”; the next day it’s an insinuation that Palin is a “pig”; and the next day he gets skewered in an interview by Bill O’Reilly.
Now his lame choice for VP has all but admitted that the Muslim Marxist’s Messiah’s first and most important decision was a mistake.

If Obama does not succeed, the “woulda, shoulda, couldas” will be talked about for a long time. Ideally, OB should have acquiesced to her in the primary, she could have chosen him as VP (you bet she would!), and they would win. She’d do her eight years and people would have gotten a chance to see what OB could do. He would then have probably have his time. (I don’t know if Hillary at the bottom of the ticket could have worked. Her supporters would still probably be a little ticked.) That’s a perfect world.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden is an excellent VP candidate. He’s actually overly qualified for VP position.)

What doe Joe Biden’s comment have to do with “the right”? Biden is the one who made the comment, Obama is the one who made a bad judgement call. How many mistakes does Obama get to make? How many will he make afterward if he gets elected? When Obama was first announced as a presidential candidate, I told myself and others that this could be someone I could vote for. (I am a conservative)I liked what he had to say, I liked the way he carried himself, the way he looked, everything. I would have voted for Obama if he had stayed on the track he started on. Unfortunatley, he has veered so far off of where he started out I can no longer say I would vote for him. He makes too many mistakes and has excercised poor judgement during the campaign too many times.

Posted by: harry | September 11, 2008, 8:33 am 8:33 am

There is a very clear reason for Obama not picking Hillary for VP. It is his inner, well hidden chauvinism against women. I know many Islamic men and one thing they all have in common if their disregard for women. Just look at how women are treated in Muslim countries to know this is the norm. Now you may ask what this has to do with Obama. Well it is widely known that children are very susceptible to indoctrination of a given belief system. The Muslims know that by getting to children young and indoctrinating them in the ways of the Koran keeps them i the fold as they grow older. Obama received this vary indoctrination as a young student in a Muslim school located in Indonesia. This indoctrination he received is now manifesting itself in the fact he passed over Hillary for the VP slot. Any normal thinking politician would have never passed over a candidate that garnered 18 million votes. Can you image McCain passing over Romney if he had received the same number of votes as he did in the primaries? Of course you can’t. IMO, the claims of sexism against Obama are probably more truthful than anyone can possibly believe.

I strongly supported Hillary, felt she was screwed by the party and an overzealous media who are now being pulled off election night (Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman) as the anchors for MSNBC, but I could never vote for McCain-Palin. I am a Yellow-DOG Democrat and I hate this republican party. Nonetheless, I think Obama made the wrong choice in not picking HRC as his running mate and I think he miscalculated by not taking public money for the fall campaign. He has $ troubles now as McCain gets a deposit of $85 million, supplemented by party money. Obama has to continue to raise money. I think his campaign has been pretty flat, no energy since he barely secured the nomination, had a good week at the convention that was followed by a disappearing bounce. I would say we have a problem with this ticket. Obama is flat on the stump and I love Joe Biden, but he is not the kind of guy that gets people are fired up like Hillary. Let’s face it, Hillary and Obama split the Democratic base–they are the two most popular Democrats in the party. It is a shame…if we lose this election. A huge shame. I agree with Tom Friedman that Obama may be too ‘cool’ to be elected. He does not show the fire from his guts. He needs to get it together.

Taken in a historical perspective the possibility of a VP switch is not unprecenented. Ike contemplated dumping Nixon in ’52 and gave him the option of bowing out in ’56. Nixon stayed, the party begrudgingly accepted it, and Ike went on to two terms. After McGovern dumped eagleton in ’72, however, it showed a big problem of confidence in the ticket and it was a disaster for the party. So, the Dems ought to be very careful before beating the Dump Biden drum. History has not been so kind to VP dumping.

I have always voted conservative, but this Spring I became a strong BHO supporter. I sent cash. I wrote letters suggesting campaign & speech ideas. But now, ever since BHO took on the HRC team, his stump speeches are lifted right out of HRCs playbook. He is even selling himself based on the “Clinton years.” This is not what I signed up for. In my life I have never seen a candidate so completely change his promise.
I supported him because he promised a new and inclusive politics and a new and inclusive vision of American democracy. That “angle” is all gone now.
And so am I.
These new rumors of replacing Biden(which I believe might happen) are so saddly believable. Under the HRC team’s leadership, they will do anything, ANYTHING, to try and win.
Bye-bye Barak.

Here is my opinion…if Obama drops Joe and replaces him with HRC, I think this will work horrable against him and give more reason for the Republican base to rise up and would spell certain defeat for the Dems. I say keep Bill & Hill out of the picture, they have to much baggage to bring into this election now they are riddle with issues that would cause Obama more problems, the Reps. would have a field day, just leave as it is, I’m afraid Barack is going to over compenstate and pull the dirt in on top of himself. Remember the 18 million cracks were not all Hillary lovers almost half (check the polls) were Obama haters so I don’t think this is such a Dream ticket as all the pundits do. Obama chose Joe for a reason thatonly he knows.

If he wins she’s out ’til 2016 if he loses she got 2012 locked up. Then she just has to pray for things to go bad for McCain/Palin. Not too mention Bill playing nice now too — lunch with BHO. You know he’s got giving him good advice — NOT!

Relax everyone. Joe is just being politically correct by praising Hillary. One of the first posts on this blog suggested Hillary as VP candidacy would have galvanized the GOP long ago. I totally agree. When Biden abuses Palin in the debate you’ll see what he’s made of and why he was selected. And for anyone who actually thinks the VP debate is a non-starter with voters, not this time. Not this year. Eyes will be glued on how she handles herself and Biden will be there to reveal her massive linkset of shortcomings.
Relax everyone.

Look at all the democrats, can’t wait
to put him in as president. It also
says that he will leads to damanation!!!
So Biden has relized what he’s running

He doesn’t want to burn in HELL! Hillary

I just got the following text message!!!
“The previous message was in error, I pick Hillary Clinton as my VP choice. As I said all along, she is my choice and has always been my choice. It was Hillary with me in Denver, she wasn’t feeling well and looked just like Joe Biden. These personal attacks that Joe Biden is my VP choice are ridiculous. We are the ticket of change, in fact, I may change the VP tomorrow if my polls don’t improve. If my polls don’t improve, I pick Pamela Anderson as my VP choice. She has the qualifications to challenge my views on any issue, in fact, she may be more qualified to be president. She executive experience, she managed many lifeguards on Baywatch and managed Tommy Lee’s privates. In fact, she’s my VP choice. I’m BHO and I approve this message, unless my polls don’t improve, then this is a ridiculous republican smear. Allah bless the U.S.”

Is this the kind of campaign McCain really wants? Where his team pounces on every little meaningless thing, rather than deal with the real issues he supposedly used to believe in? This kind of nonsense response from his team will not improve the state of this country one little bit.

The heck with Hillary Clinton! She disrespected Obama on the campagn trail with utter disregard and Obama needs her????? Where was all you Hillary Clinton supporters righteous indignation when the Pantsuit Queen said McCain would make a better president over a fellow Democrat?!?!?!
She doesn’t deserve to be a VP when she cannot even support the party’s goals and agenda!

Posted by: Thug Pundit | September 11, 2008, 9:09 am 9:09 am

so Biden questions the guy running for president before he is president? Sounds like he is on board with the intelligent folk (republicans). I agree Hillary doesn’t care any more. If she helps then she will be waiting even longer to get in the white house

Posted by: chris | September 11, 2008, 9:09 am 9:09 am

I would almost bet a dollar against a donut that Biden will become ill of some rare disorder and must step aside, that will give Obama the opportunity to bring HC on board. If so the Rep’s will band together and kick the pantsuit and ears off both of em’.
Obama is a good man that has no clue.
Biden is a good man that can’t spell clue.
Hillary is a good woman that has a clue but, we really don’t want to hear or see anything about it since we all remember “Billy”

I would vote for HRC over Obama anyday, but I would not vote for Obama, even if Hillary was on the ticket. He should have picked her, it was a big mistake from the beginning. She had more votes than he did. He won in his typical way…strategy, not popularity, as he did with the Illinois senate vote by getting everyone else bumped off the ticket. McCain was brilliant to pick Palin. He won over my vote. Not only because she is a woman, but because she stands up to the usual political gaming. Obama is so thick in it, he chose Biden. Enough said. And that lipstick on a pig comment, the audience got it, he shouldn’t act so stupid as to think it wouldn’t come across as it did. Backtracking just makes him look more stupid than his listeners.

Posted by: karen | September 11, 2008, 9:14 am 9:14 am

I can not believe that some of you feel that you are doing anyone a service by deciding to vote for McCain/Palin when you were a staunch Hillary supporter. How could you do any kind of service to the legacy that Hillary brought to this campaign by voting for a ticket that is polar opposites in their policies that Hillary was fighting for? McCain has voted 100% of the time against rights for women, Palin wants Roe vs Wade overturned and “loves” earmarks for her state. How in the world would voting for McCain Palin show any support for Hillary Clinton. Are Americans really this uninformed? Be an informed voter, read, look into voting records, understand what you want this country to be about.

Posted by: Sandra | September 11, 2008, 9:14 am 9:14 am

Hillary has no honor or dignity, only a lust for power. She proved that by defending Bill, even as he was making her the laughing stock of the civilized world. Can there be any doubt that she would crawl back to Obama in a New York second if he threw her a bone?
She would probably lick his shoes along the way.
That’s not the role model I want for my daughter. Sarah Palin is. She’s strong, confident, capable, funny, politically formidable, and attractive… to borrow her own phrase, “Quite a package”.
Foreign policy experience?
Facing down Putin?
For the benefit of publicly schooled Democrats:
Many people went from governorships to the PRESIDENCY without serving in Congress or having foreign policy experience. A few recent examples: Clinton, Carter, Reagan, George W. Bush.
As soon as one gets elected as president or vice president, he or she starts receiving daily intense and detailed briefings on the state of the world by experts of two permanent government agencies, the State Department and the National Security Council.
Do any of you women (and such respecters of women) doubt that Governor Palin is as capable as the other governors named above of learning new information?
As VICE president, she won’t even need to be ready on “Day One”.
The misogyny of the Democratic leadership and the mainstream media is really transparent.
Why does a woman governor need foreign policy experience to run for VICE PRESIDENT but no one questioned the above named male governors about it when they ran for PRESIDENT?
Governor Palin IS going to be the first woman vice president and Governor Bobby Jindal (from another vital energy state) WILL BE the first minority race president or vice president. Take that to the bank.
It’s the gas stupid!

Posted by: vstarrider | September 11, 2008, 9:14 am 9:14 am

Maybe, just maybe, Biden sees the writing on the wall and doesn’t want to burn his bridges with the Clintons. Who would want them as enemies? He wants to continue his political career after this election is over. If he plays his cards right, maybe she’ll pick him as her VP in 4 years.

That along with the stupid Obama “pig” insult, the “abortion qualification” comment by the SC dingbat should take us strongly into October with that other Dingbat Obama on the defensive.

Democratic party presidents have been sorry leaders in America. Does anyone know what Carter did while in office? Does anyone recall Clinton campaigning with FAMILY VALUES as his big “CHANGE” message? He did a nice job of weakening the state of our union with military cutbacks that let the sleeze balls in to attack NYC?
Obama will only do the same if not worse. He’s full of fluff…..no real substance. It was only when Palin stepped upto the podium and laid it all out as clearly as could be stated. THIS IS THE REAL REASON THAT OBAMA CAMP IS REELING AND PERSONALLY ATTACKING HER.
Who cares if she had someone fired. So what if she has a child who is 17 and pregnant. Half of the Democratic party is full of losers, who have had more than their share of wedlock crackbabies!
All Obama stands for is a symbol of where these losers want America to head into……do you want to follow them along a path of weakened military policies? Do you want to have your taxes significantly raised, so Obama can get enough $$ to make a few changes and sit back and say “hey…look what I did”? I sure as hell don’t.
Fools are believing in his soapbox tactics…..I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again..listen to his WORDS, they are so unspecific it’s sickening. Why is he so unspecific you ask? Well, it comes down to being transparent to the public……”the more you keep them guessing, the more they’ll give into my
message of CHANGE”…look at his resume’ and you’ll see nothing that shows anything more than skin color types of changes..

I guess the dems are getting ready to slide hillary into the 2nd choice as VP. What are they going to use as an excuse to get rid of Biden? Perhaps a heart attack, an emergency medical problem, or maybe they will ask him to commit suicide for their cause. Either way, it will make Obama look weak and pathetic.

What did Hillary ever do besides marry and stay with a conniving lout of a husband because of political expediency? She would never have been elected as a senator if she had never married Slick Willie. Palin actually has much more executive experience than either the 3 stooges of Obama, Biden and Clinton…and she is much more appealing to middle American than Hillary Rotten Clinton ever will be. Just goes to show how out of touch the Dems and the liberal media are with real American values.

Biden was not being a nice guy. Remember his mother told him to bloody the others guys face. You are a product of your upbringing. These are slip ups. I am not sure why, but Hillary was the better choice. She was the so close in the number of voters to Obama that vetting her as VP would have been a sure win.
Is it sheer arrogance on Obama’s part and that comes before a fall! Biden might bow out and his Hillary comment is setting up for his exit. They will do this to save the ticket.
Also Obama’s lipstick comment was directed at Palin. First point: We have seen Obama on TV for two years. How many times previously has he used this term to describe Republican policies? Point two: after his comment the media immediately cuts away so you do not hear the audience laughing. What is funny about bad policies? Then you hear the audience say “pitbull” If Obama was completely innocent in his comment then either he is a poor speaker and is not able to bring his point across to his audience. If that is not true then his audience is not intelligent enough hi understand.
Point three: the media also does not play the next sentences. Obama talks about an “old fish” in a newspaper. This clearly refers to the oldest candidate John McCain.
Next sentence talks about this that not being change. Obama said this because of the recent use of the McCain campaign and the word change.
John McCain (Maverick) the so called “old fish” is a warrior 22 years of service and out foxed Obama with “Sarah the pitbull Barracudah” as his VP pick. If Palin was nothing to worry about you would not even hear about her, but the massive negative coverage of her shows that her pick is a true threat to the Dem. ticket. The same way he will do to enemies foreign and domestic. I believe The MAV-CUDDAH ticket will win.

It’s most interesting to see how he cannot be specific with his attacks on the Republican nominee’s experience.
It’s because they are SOLID. Everyone in this world is corrupt (cops/military/lawyers/politicians/scumbags who walk the streets…..).

Most women shouldn’t be voting anyway, and probably 80% of blacks (10% on each side seems to look at the issues, 80% look at it as a race issues, and as who is handing out the government cheese). Any population that cares more about emotional issues like ‘we need a woman to have a chance’ or ‘we need a black man to run the country’ rather than looking at the issues should not vote.
Colin Powell I would have voted for, but not the shameless, racist, lying Pol (redundant) Barack Obama. Ron Paul or Kucinich I would have voted for, but not McCain the psychotic imbecile. As far as women go, I would vote for Palin over Hillary the Harpy, and Daryl Hannah over all of them.

Why is it that liberals, for some reason, don’t let things like facts get in the way of their thinking? You have tried to tear down the McCain-Palin ticket and call them liars and it blows up in your faces each and every time. Obama comes out and tries to say something and the same thing happens. Also, why are we not spending more time on his past associations with people such as the great Jeremiah Wright. If I, being caucasian, sat in a church that had a minister in the KKK and listened to him speak his racist garbage every Sunday, people would be right in calling me a racist if I tried to run for public office. Your precious Obama sits in a church for 20 years, hears anti-white retoric from a man who clings to black liberation theology and I have not heard one person claiming to be a liberal call him out on that. It is only when it seemed to get in the way of his presidential hopes that he cuts ties with Wright. Before that, he’s calling him his “spiritual advisor” and praising him. I do not trust this man. I am surprised at how many people (or at least the liberal media claims) say they support him for president. Wake up America! We have a chance to put someone in the office who has literally laid his life on the line for our country and believes strongly in putting the country first even before his party. This is in sharp contrast to the Dumbocrats (yes I misspelled it) who think that, rather then vote on crucial legislation that will ease the burden of high gas prices, it is a better idea to take a few weeks off and go on vacation. I guess this is the hope and change we’ve been hearing about. I just HOPE that if Obama is elected, I have some CHANGE left in my pocket. Let’s get these party first, country second people out of the position of determining our fates. Republican, Democrat, it does not matter. Let them know that you want them to put you first and party second. I strongly believe that is what we will have with a McCain-Palin administration. She has already proved it in her state and the dealings she has had there. What has Obama done besides talk and write about himself?
Wake up America!

This is a pretty funny story. Either way, Biden was the best pick. The Clintons are liars, but Billy made up for that with good economic policy. Letting Bill and Hillary into the white house would have been one of the biggest mistakes that Obama could have made. They would have formed a coup like Cheney and Rumsfeld… making decisions on their own and what not.
Biden just makes intuitive statements: he wanted to defend his friend and colleague.. granted what he said wasn’t very prudent, it was the kind of emotion, not rationale, that he felt at the time. I can appreciate that.

McCain is a Conservative that trys to move the “ball up the fiekd” every time he heds to the center.
Palin is “One of Us, and I think her and McCain both are somewhat honest.
We should elect McCain Palin and
“HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE FOR REFORM”,
WE NEED INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS AND AUDITS OF WASHINGTON, WE THE PEOPLE COULD DEMANT THAT IF WE STOOD TOGETHER AS AMERICANS.
FIX THE GOVENMENT FIRST THEN LETS RESUME A FAIR AND JUST DEMOCRACY!
THE ELITES IN CONTROL “WANT US ALL DIVIDED” WE MS TRY TO PRESERVE OUR CONSTITUTION AND EXAMINE WHAT WENT WRONG IN WASHINGTON!
MCCAIN / PALIN / JINDAL (NAD OTHERS) ARE THE FUTURE OF THE USA

Biden was eager to run with Obama in the beginning. I think he’s gotten to know Barak now and doesn’t think he’ll make a good President. That’s why Biden wants Hillary in the White House.

Does Joe have doubts about his ability to be vice president? Maybe he isn’t the best candidate to be senator from Delaware either? Evidently the democrats have clueless running with hapless.

Speaking of who’s going to be a better vice-president, to those who are enthusiastic about Palin as choice of VP, do you truly believe, of all the Republican and/or conservative female politicians and public servants, Palin is THE best candidate for the job?
If you are truly concerned for the plight and advancement of women, you would not flock to the first little-known female candidate that a MAN has picked FOR you. Where is your say in all this? Couldn’t you have suggested your own preference for a female VP for the McCain campaign, or has it not even occurred to you to even consider the possibility that YOU should have a say in who the Republican VP should be. “Wow!! Mr McCain says a female could be VP, why haven’t I thought of that?” Rise up and be strong, take the initiative!
By flocking to Palin, you are merely reinforcing male chauvinists’ impression of women as mindless little chicks that flock to whatever men provide for them. Just brainstorming here, I bet the Republicans pick Palin precisely because she’s a small timer who is going to be easily controlled by the (male dominated) establishment, while serving as a cynical means of winning “The woman vote” (a strategy of shameless condescension towards women.)
Let’s have a poll here, who would have been a better Republican female VP choice: Condoleezza Rice? Kay Hutchison? Christie Whitman? Name your own pick, let’s see whom women truly wants, instead of what McCain wants for them.

I would miss Joe Biden. He garnered 9,000 votes in a primary where Hillary could only muster 18,000,000. Why would Obama want that?
Seriously, Biden is best remembered for criticizing Bush for lack of response to 9/11 — too bad his criticism came on the eve of the Afghanistan invasion!

This sounds like Obama and Biden are doing the DENOUNCE DANCE all over again. At the DNC convention they were all thrilled with the selection of Biden. Now that McCain selected Palin the DNC is running in circles shooting themselves in the foot with stupid comments aimed at Plain all in regret of the choices they made. Does anyone want these people running our country ? Look at how they screwed up Congress after they took it over. Obama is running on a platform of I am cute and I am black so you have to elect me, he has no substance as a Presidential Candidate.

Democrats just want a Hillary-Sarah cat-fight, but Palin has already grabbed the female votera who are ready for progress, not just “change”, and loose change at that. Michelle Obama would never allow a female on the ticket unless it’s her, especially Hillary. The Chicago Machine just barely got her permission to let an old white guy on the team. She wanted New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin for the VP slot, due to his experience with disasters, his good judgment, and his supply of buses. Biden: under the bus!

Trouble is that the popular local State Senator is a paraplegic…was sitting in a wheel chair. Biden is a total loser and always has been.
The trouble with having Hillary on the ticket, Bill comes with it. That says it all. Obama let this “inexperience” thing get a hold and out of hand. What experience did Bush (G. W.) have, Carter, even Reagan didn’t exactly come with decades of experience…and even JFK didn’t have really all that much. Add Truman to the list. On the other hand several have had tons of “experience” and couldn’t get a second term…Johnson, Bush (the elder), Ford…and don’t forget Nixon had to resign, and Clinton was impeached. Too much has been made over “experience”.

c) you are a closet racist who believes sexism trumps racism.

Is that legal? Biden was nominated by the Democratic Convention. I don’t know if Obama can replace him on his own whim. Dems might have to meet again. Anyway Barry and Billy are meeting right now discussing it. We’ll see what they say. My guess is that by tomorrow Biden will be out and in a week or so HRC will be in (if it’s legal to do that after the convention). Has any party ever done this before? I understand how desparate to win the Dems are but this is a little over the top. As it stands now, they’re out of the White House until at least Jan 20, 2025.

Reading comments like the one from people like “Debra” explain to me why so many people think HRC is principled. It is the Dem (Charles Rangel) and the black (DEMs) that want the draft…no McCain or the GOP. It is the GOP that want to give your daughters “choice” of which school to attend while the DNC panders to the teacher’s union to protect under-performing teacher’ jobs. And regarding a woman’s right to choose…women have the right to NOT get pregnant. Once they do, is it moral or compansionate to illimate your mistake by killing a soul? Abortion is a moral issue not a “rights” issue. If you are for it then you need to support the DNC, if not, the GOP…simple as that. But don’t show your ignorance by saying McCain/Palin want to take away women’s rights. Or that McCain wants to bring back the draft. It is amusing to watch the Obama Nation come unglued…this should serve as a warning to all of what you could expect, God forbid, should this guy win. It won’t be HRC as sec of state…but probably someone cut from the Rev. Wright cloth. Just look as his associates and that is what you will see his cabinet looking like.

As a Marine I am deeply offended by many of the post on here. Many of you use personal attacks instead of paying attention to the issues. To take Obama’s ‘lipstick’ comment and to call to sexism is very offensive. So this is how the election should be won? What about the issues? Kerry got swiftboated and now trying to do the same to Obama.
If you are not going to vote for McCain or Obama because of certain issues like the war or healthcare that is great, but not to vote for him because HRC is not the one or because somebody got pregeant is stupid. Shame on both sides.
& A big shame to the PUMAs. Say it all you want but I will never believe that you was true democrats. If you was in no way could you agree with the Palin right wing policies.

Well said dl: “McCain/Palin – good for America

I do not believe Biden was dissing Hillary. The Dali-Bama took care of that. I would have never voted for HRG but she really is a better choice than NoBama. I’ve disagreed alot with Mr. McCain, but if you really listened to his speech, he is the clear choice to lead. He loves his country and has served her so well. Palin is strong, independent, loves her husband, loves her family, loves the God of the universe and his only begotten Son (who died and rose for all), stood against the “Good old boys” in her own party. She hasn’t forgotten where she came from. Her speech at the convention was just as real and genuine as the one she gave to her fellow Alaskans last night. What part of the above text do you not understand? Believe me we need a new direction from the past 8 years, the past 16 years at that. NoBama is the wrong direction, unless you want to be like socialized Europe. Except for the Brits, no one in Europe understands FREEDOM or understands the sacrifice it takss. The choice is clear, I’ll take the Maverick and the Barracuda in 2008!

I find it funny yet nauseating,that conservatives who are always claiming they are evangelicals are the most hateful, and spew more venom than anyone else. For people who are always sitting on their proverbial moral high horses, you seem to be very angry. This country is in no way better off after having a republican president and republican congress for 8 years. Yet your xenophobic fears about having a Dem or a liberal or anyone who is not like you in office, is unbelievable. The old tatic of divide and conquer is not doing your party or this country any good. I am an independent who has heard both sides and believe that the republicans are always the first to fight dirty, say nasty things then cry foul when they are not getting their way. I think you all need a reality check! If you are for a candidate, great, be for your candidate! But that does not mean that you have to be against the other candidate! Isn’t your party the ones who claim to be god fearing and jesus following??? If so, then what do you think Jesus would say about all of the nasty behavior displayed in this election, and on this blog. Wasn’t it your VP candidate that poked fun at community organizers, but wants the country to believe they are about change?? The last time I checked community organizers weren’t limited to one party. And by the way, wasn’t Jesus a community orgainzer??

Hillary Clinton would have made a great VP for the Obama ticket. Biden is simply telling the truth. If Obama had chosen Hillary for VP, the Democrats would have had this election sewn up. As it now stands, Obama is coming unglued because the mainstream media is finally asking some of the tough questions of him that they asked of Hillary during the primaries. Obama was never the savior that the media made him out to be. They used him to sell news tories and advertising. Now, like some faded rock star, he is being eclipsed by another luminary, Gov. Sarah Palin.
The media is fickle. They gravitate toward the candidates who can help them advance their news stories and their careers. In spite of their obvious, slavish affinity for Obama, they’ve found another public figure who has captured the public’s imagination and attention. Gov. Sarah Palin is their new found star. But the difference between Palin and Obama is that Palin has rock solid principles and knows how to handle the media without selling out to them. She is aloof to the media, but is not unreachable. She is tough and vulnerable at the same time.
Her story is immensely compelling. She is the mayor of a small town who rose to governor. All the while, she was mother to five children, the youngest a newborn with Down Syndrome. One of her sons deployed to Iraq today. Like any mother, she saw him off with a mixture of pride and sorrow. This is a real person with a real story to tell. Palin is life unvarnished. She is a conservative version of Hillary Clinton.
Biden is right. Obama should have picked Hillary as his VP. With her, he could have won.

A lot of blame for the Dims problems can be blamed on their buddies at the LMSM. Had the LMSM done a good job “vetting” John Edwards early on they would have discovered Edwards affair and he would have had to drop out of the race giving Hill a chance to get those voters who backed Edwards.
The LMSM were too busy bashing Hillary of course that they might have been reluctant to have Edwards drop out of the race.

Biden Never said he wasnt the right man for the job, so thats lie#1.
Then he never said Hillary would have been a better choice. He said might have been.
LIe #2 by McCain.

The Democrats have one chance in this election. The lawsuit in Pennsylvania, challenging Obama’s Constitutional qualifications to hold the office of the President, could win. The Democratic Party would then have to follow their rules for replacing a disqualified candidate. Would that replacement candidate be Biden or Hillary? Any Democrats out there know? Help yourselves, Democrats! Get Obama disqualified!

Well, I am a conservative and yes I am an evangelical, college degreed and a registered Republican and proud American. But none of those labels or tags will mean a thing standing before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, His name is Jesus. Republican/Democrat/liberal/conservative/Denomination will not mean a thing. I’m a sinner, I believe Christ died and arose for my sins, I repented, confessed, admitted and trusted the finished work of Christ for the forgiveness of my sins and my eternity in Heaven has been sealed by the “precious blood of the Lamb”
Gee whiz, I thought that was at the core of Christianity. Has the meaning of evangelical been re-defined? I have no fear who-ever is elected, but I do very much care. Jesus was no “Community Organizer”, but the living Son of God who died, buried and arose for your sins and mine. The last I remember the song goes “….red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.”
The election of 2008 is important, but compared to Eternity it is so trivial.

THIS IS WHY OBAMA SHOULD BE PRESIDENT
He’s just really smart. I’m not talking about basic Senator smarts, he’s really smart… he was a Constitutional Law professor at U of Chicago… anyone who knows anything about Law knows how hard that is.
Other than that, he, like McCain, really wants to do the right thing… they both do, but his judgment will be more sound because he has countlessly said that he wants cabinet officials that don’t agree with him on everything. McCain is a great guy, but he’s surrounded by snakes…just like Bush (not a great guy) surrounded by even worse people.
For the last 8 yeas most indicators of American success (economic prosperity, global reputation, etc.) have declined under Bush. This is due to bad decision making and lack of intelligence (I won’t go into the idea of malicious motives because it’s less quantifiable).
Obama is the answer to these problems. He’ll be a good decision-maker and he’s extremely intelligent.

Hey Dems, this is the way it should be. Get off your rears and go to work so that you can pay for your own health insurance and stop expecting the government to pay it for you. Don’t expect a city manager to run the nation. Stop supporting the murder of several of the smallest and most defenseless americans ever. AND YES ABORTION IS MURDER! Stop thinking that America should be like Canada or Europe, we are not like them if you want to be like them than move your rear out of this great country. Stop worrying about the feelings of a few over the feelings of the many. This country is a Democratic Republic not a Socialist nation. If you want to be socialist then move to China. Always support your military. And most of all support the One True God, oh by the way, his name is not Allah. He is Jahova, the alpha and omega, the great “I AM”.

I also think not picking Hillary as VP was a mistake, mostly because of the 18 million democrats that wanted her to have a stronger role in shaping the future role of the country.
Joe Biden was a solid pick, but not an outstanding one, as Hillary would have been.
Palin, however, is just a gimmick, a sad reality of the fact that GOP does not want to run on the strength of their take on issues.

I predict within the next couple weeks Biden will come out with some health reason for dropping out. Perhaps it will have something to do with his previous brain aneurysm. Yes, it occurred back in ’88, but the recent activity associated with this election is “giving him extreme headaches and he doesn’t want to risk his health any further.” Besides putting Hillary (a woman), on Obama’s ticket, the whole Biden/health dropout thing adds a sympathy factor into the mix in Obama’s favor. I’d honestly be surprised if the Dems didn’t resort to this scheme. But if they are going to attempt this, it has to be before the end of September the VP debate is scheduled for October 2nd. Yet IF they do this without using a “health issue” on Biden’s part, Obama will be perceived to the voters not only as extremely wishy-washy, but as a bad decision maker and this would give a TON of ammunition to the Republicans. If Obama did this, he would be portrayed as a flip-flopper, and would never hear the end of the fact that his “first” decision was already a mistake…how can America afford to put him in the White House making bad initial decisions when it comes to Russia, Iran or even our countr for that matter.

As you can tell I am all for McCain/Palin. Palin is no gimmick, she is real and genuine. The republicans have not seen the likes of this since 1980, God Bless you Ronald Reagan. The femi-nazis must dislike her so much because she embodies what they would really like to be:
Strong, intelligent, independent, a fighter, bold, respected, attractive, a leader, a loving wife, a loving mother, a woman of Faith, loved and adored by her husband and children and over 80% of Alaskans alone. Been to Alaska, loved it and the people there. Been to Europe, pathetic, except for the Brits. Love the Brits! When I visited in 1999, they showed my decorated WWII 8th Air Force father with tremendous respect and hospitality. That’s another story. Make’s one wonder what is going on in the UK now.
The McCain camp needs to stop running adds the next day after the DEMS keep sticking their foots in their mouth. Save your money on the adds, the DEMS are shooting theirselves so often on a daily basis that they’ve become a huge sieve.

Obama will have no chance of regaining any momentum now that the new girl in town, Sarah Palin has spoken. Obama and his clan of far left radicals may have lost his minimal lead permanently.
Palin’s speech was tremendous. Hillary’s speech was terrific. We have seen two women with ambition and love for our country demonstrate to the world a vitality that will not be forgotten. With Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama could have made history – but instead, Obama chose not to do so. Now McCain and his VP pick are doing just that.
Obama hogged history. So Hillary’s 18 million voters watching her speech will likely produce no gain for Obama. Instead, it will lay the basis for a lasting resentment at Obama’s failure to select her as VP. Palin’s presence was the icing on the cake.
Obama can’t win the votes of women, especially older women.
The combination of Hillary’s speech the other night and Sarah Palin’s speech, made Obama’s chance of winning those women voters a lot harder, if not impossible.

Sounds to me like they’re setting the stage for booting Joe out in the next few weeks, and are giving him a little time to do it gracefully. Instead of being unceremoniously dumped, he’ll be given the opportunity to act as if it’s his idea and that he’s dropping out just “for the good of the party.”
Without letting him save face, he might go back to pointing out what a lightweight neophyte Obama is, and how the presidency is no place for on-the-job training.

He is all correct but now he is in VP spot and I don’t think his word is appropriate if he the dem win. McCan will take the heck out of context of his word to attack Obama’s judgment.

Obama apparently does not like women in power. Not only did he snub Hillary, he also snubbed two democrat female governors to pick an entrenched Washington insider to be his “training wheels.”
It would not surprise me in the least if Biden developed a “condition” that caused him to resign from the ticket and clear the way for Hillary to come on as VP.
But it wouldn’t matter. Sarah is destined for VP and probably president. Hillary is too eliteist and not one of the common folk.

One more thing: If Obama blew his chance away from the presidency due to his ego and ignorance, I don’t know when we will see the next qualify black man that close to White House. I would totally back Obama IF he carry on his initial enthusiasm for change Washington politic, unfortunately he became more and more line up with the “good old boy” network and lost his stand easily. He appears flip flop and creates OJ phenomenon. He play race card but accuse others play sex card, what a double standard.

This is so hilarious. I thought I was hearing things when I watched this on the news. Joe started out good but went on a little further than he needed and stuck his foot in his mouth. I initially thought this was a setup for Hill to step in but I don’t think for one minute that Hillary will step in to save the day. Bill and Hillary have to put up this united DNC face and support their candidate no matter what. However you have to wonder if they both want Obama loose so they will be ready for Hillary’s last run in ’12, there’s no way she’ll run after that so that would be her last shot. This is just the begining, now that the pressure is intensifying we will see what each candidate is really made of and Joe just put himself in last place so far.

And, of course, the humor and the very funny miscues that we always enjoy that you are driven to make. I say this not to mock you but to praise your blind courage to expose your true being on the national stage.

I think he has Hillary as an October surprise if McCain-Palin keep pulling ahead. He should have picked her first as she had over 18 million votes. She could debate Palin and say things a man couldn’t and she know foreign policy etc. Obama let his ego get in the way instead of having the goal of winning first. To make change you must first get in. Kennedy and Johnson were not bosom buddies but Kennedy chose him strategically. Biden had an aneurysm in the 1980′s and can say because of health concerns he is dropping out then later he can become Secretary of State saying the doctor gave him a clean bill of health. Hillary would be the attack dog like Palin and Obama could stay above the fray.

All due respect to Palin but she should not be anywhere close to the Vice President of the United States of American at this point in her political career. No way.

I’m not worried about Sarah Palin. There’s only one of her, but there’s millions of you that have no idea what you’re talking about.

Anyone up for spending $10 billion a week for the next 4 years?
YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!
Anyone up for voting a man in office who admits he doesn’t have a good grasp on economics?
YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!
Anyone want to vote for a veteran who shot down legislation for an investigation into Korean War vets that disappeared and were never released?
YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!
If you vote for a Republican considering all the damage the party has caused this country the last 8 years, you are clearly an idiot. Please, PLEASE vote for Obama. My wallet will thank you!

This is SCARY!!!! Biden is telling the public that he thinks Hilary should have been picked instead of him, it goes to show that HIS heart is not in it? It goes to show that Obama made a bad DECISION and its costantly being SHOUTED right at him. I am so relieved that Hilary was not picked because I never liked her since she put up with her husbands infidelities. It was only for the power of being President.
Obama, seems to make mistake after mistake, he mistook Sarah when he first heard about her, he’s been nit picking her when he should be worried about John, he’s meeting with the wrong people and he has no idea what a President does.

Obama is bitter because he lost his celebrity status with all attention shifted to Palin. Sure he’d be better off with Mrs.Clinton as his own “bulldog” on his side. She is the only person who can be a solid presence in a debate with Palin.

“Let’s call a spade a spade”It really amazes me how Ignorant, stupid and racist most of you are….The only reason you really have a problem with Obama is because He is Black…..But you dont have the guts to say it…probably because it’s politically incorrect……What do you really say behind closed doors in your KLAN meetings? Discussing issues or you say ” I’LL NEVER VOTE FOR A ******? Mcain to Europe as well remember? But because his visit lacked excitement for good reason, they found a way to make a genuinely smart charismatic candidate look like he committed a crime for being liked….If OBAMA were white, most of you would worship the ground he walks on…..Look at your response to PALIN…SIMILAR AGE AND EXPERIENCE…ALL OF A SUDDEN EXPERIENCE DOES NOT MATTER ANYMORE.If it was a democratic candidates daughter was pregnant…all hell would have broke loose.YOU GUYS SHOULD PROUDLY WEAR YOUR ROBES IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, STOP HIDING BEHIND RELIGION OR USE CLINTON AS AN EXCUSE.She neither owns the country nor the party…The nominated candidate furthers the party’s agenda.So why else would a democrat threaten to vote republican? RACISM!For the military man whose wife was crying because he thought that democrats would not win, GO OUT AND HELP OR VOTE YOUR PARTY…IF RACE does not have anything to do with it…..You can only fool yourselves…learn to think outside of your KLAN!

Do some of you not remember that Senator Clinton said she did not want to be veted unless she was assured of the VP.Do you not think of all that McCain would bring out about the Clintons and use against the democratic party.IMO Joe was just being nice to Hillary clinton and I do not think obama made a mistake. Joe Biden knows foreign policy.Hillary Clinto has little knowledge but still a heck of a lot more than Palin.McCain/Palin=Frauds

So Katrina, the only requirment to receive your vote is to have a vagina on the ticket? I am a Clinton supporter, and any one who supported her would NOT vote for McPalin, if they had a brain. Voting for this woman (cause this ticket is about her, not him… which is sad for him) is a slap in the face to anyone who calls themself a hillary supporter. This woman is the complete OPPOSITE of anything clinton stands for. She is more concerned with spending tax payer money to legalize aerial hunting of wolves and to sue the fed govt about polar bears than with actual, truthful governing. She is a liar with ONE script that she has followed in every campaign speech she has given, and she still needs notecards and a teleprompter to deliver said speech. You should be automatically dq’ed for any federal office if you are actually dim enough to believe the earth is only six thousand years old. Maybe she’ll build us all hockey rinks across the country and put us in debt like she did the little igloo village she was mayer of.

Obama’s campaign is taking a dive off the deep end, his empty suit is finally coming out of the closet. By choosing Palin, the Republicans have effectivly sent the democrats into a bind. See yourself as a victim and demand payment or retribution from the government, then go ahead and vote for Obama. If you see yourself as a go-getter and hardworker with little to no government interference then cast your vote for McCain. I suppose all Obama supports must have been bullied in high school and that would explain their ideology.

Biden highly qualified? Obama is rqagging McCain for being out of date with 26 years. Does that make Biden another 10 years or so out of date? At least McCain did something in the Senate – love him or hate him.
Biden was a weasel voting 100% for special interests like his fawning credit card companies. Anyone who feels comfortable with Biden a heartbeat away from the Presidency is a deceived person. Being President means you don’t have to hold your breath every time he opens his mouth. W was no Reagan, but he made fewer gaffes in 8 years than Biden seems to make every day (well almost!)

Obama would have won had he truly stuck to his message and disavowed all the corrupt cronies who made him what he was. Problem was, they would take him out quicker than Hillary would have. A planted story of some gay affair right before the election would have made him another Torricelli. If you want to know what Obama would do, look at what the people who made him do. Look at Soros, Mayor Daley, Emil Jones, Tony Rezko, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayres, the whole sorry lot. Most GOP do not look at McCain as any Messiah (he isn’t), but as a steady hand who will not totally self-destruct under pressure. Look at this mother. John could easily last eight years but who could seriously doubt that Palin could be presidential material in four years? Biden has proven he NEVER will be, and the truth be known, HRC has received no scrutiny for her own flip-flops on the war and just about everything else.

Amazes me that the abortionistas think the whole rest of the country agrees with them. Medical science is not frozen in 1973. Even the LA Times Poll showed 53% of the nation agreeing with either McCain or Palin in their stands. Though change hasn’t happened no matter who has won, because of the inertia, I believe that the steady move to Pro-Life shows that most Americans are willing to reconsider flawed and scientifically inaccurate arguments. The drumbeats of the Emporers with no clothes on “experience”, abortion, evolution, and all of it mask a lack of being able to defend their positions in open debates. Instead, they viciously attack anyone with the temerity to tell the truth that resonates with people. Palin has that ability, and think she is great raw material. The double-speak agendized opposition does not resonate with most THINKING people.

Posted by: John | September 12, 2008, 7:19 am 7:19 am

In my perfect world the ticket would have been Clinton/Biden. Both are smart and have dedicated much of their professional lives to public service. Obama is a moving and inspiring speaker. He is also now our candidate, my candidate. He has the voice to inspire greatness in other, to help bring all Americans to the table. Biden has the wisdom to know when to drop the hammer down or extend a hand. Both sides, including McCain will continue to turn to him for advice and direction ( dare to say nobody will ever turn to Palin for anything requiring deep knowledge or wisdom ). We are blessed with incredible and strong choices. Clinton will surly not be left out, and I think the Obama campaign has indicated that his term will be one that includes great leaders from both sides working together to effect change. Biden didn’t concede his seat, he extended his hand to say, they are real friends and colleagues and she is as capable and as smart as he, so stop talking smack about her. In the real world of non-politics, isn’t that what you’d want a friend to do? Obama and Biden together with the American people and Hillary Clinton can be a real force for movement. And regardless of the out come will prove all you haters wrong by remaining active and prominent in the history of American change and reform. Do you all really believe that after this race we will ever hear of Palin again, in the realm of politics at least….

Biden was my first choice for VP and Hillary lost me when she went negative. But if Biden is having 2nd thoughts about accepting this position he MUST step aside now — it is NOT fair to the voters. We only have 2 parties and the elites in the Democratic Party seem, once again, to undermine a great candidate (Obama) from within. If Hillary wants the slot I think Biden should step aside. If she doesn’t because of some kind of “sour grapes” then I’m sorry but that is selfish. If you think the Hillary supporters were angry you ain’t seen nothing to how angry Obama’s supporters will be if we lose because of the elites of the democratic party can’t get strongly behind the nominee. We will be leaving the party in droves. This is NOT about you!!!!

Everyone has their on opinion on the issues, but we as American public should agree that McCain/Palin ticket is not the answer for our country. Politics is not new and is always going to be the same. You should know that it was not all up to Obama and his presidential board to pick his VP. The Democratic Chairman and Board help in the selection also. HRC is a great leader very head strong and would/have made a great selection for Obama and his VP. If it is possible for Biden to step aside and Obama and the Dem Board and Chairman agree to HRC to be his running mate it would be a great ticket. We all are looking for change from the Bush Administration and his policies. So please do your own investigation and know your facts about the GOP and DEM and weigh in the change that we so desperately need, as citizens of the greatest country in the world…The United States of America….

Posted by: Jim | September 12, 2008, 12:20 pm 12:20 pm

I believe that removing Biden and replacing him with Hillary or anyone else would be a grave mistake. The message would be that Barack Obama has poor judgment and can’t be as he said, “Right On Day One”. He would look amazingly weak and indecisive. This would be disasterous for him. It would confirm that he cannot make major decisions logically. If he can’t make the first big decision he had to make as a candidate, how can he make critical decisions as a president? He has to go home with the one he brought to the dance. Sorry, but that’s the way it is.

‘Barbara Roberts Sep 12′ 2008 echoes my idea from 4 weeks ago: The winning ticket was without a doubt Hillary/Obama. Anyway, I am sure the DNC knows somethings we don’t. For example, Obama was chosen because they needed someone from the new guard to clean out the WhiteHouse. Also, Obama did not pick Hillary because they wanted her to go untainted to the Presidency after Obama’s term expires.

Biden has such class. He gaffes but his intent is clear when you watch him. He paid great respect to Sen Clinton in his response and I look forward to the presidential debates. I am glad he is on the ticket, and I think we will see some great coverage once the media stops chasing Palin. Becuase right now, shile the mass of reporters are coagulating around Palin trying to get any morsel for a story – a few wiser reporters have had full access to Biden, and I think those upcoming interviews will have a lot more substance to them.

Ladies,
If this happens. Promise me and the country that you will not go back to that false profit. If this happens, it will confirm what I have always known about Obama: That he will do what ever is necessary for political expediency. Don’t reward him for giving Hillary sloppy seconds. It is as big a slap in the face or bigger than the mistreatment of Senator Clinton from the beginning:
Talk radio host’s answer when asked if Biden would withdraw from the ticket to make room for Hillary:
No???. You will not see Biden withdraw from the Democratic ticket. What you will see???. in 30 days or less. If BO continues to decline in the polls as he is currently doing. Biden will have a ???sudden??? illness or ???sudden??? family emergency issue or worse, which he will not be able to continue the campaign. BO will bring HRC in to save his ass and bring him over the line. He cannot do it on his own without her! Look how hard BO is sucking up to Bill today! It???s comical!

Just reading the posts above… who in the world would say they support Hillary, but then, when she is knocked out, decide to support McCain? That makes absolutely NO SENSE! Do you vote for personalities or for issues and actual beliefs? Do you have any understanding of the party platforms? Do you care about what Hillary stood for? Aside from wanting to be President herself, she wants a democrat in the White House. And she would have been just as likely to Obama to appoint appropriate and smart people to positions in her cabinet that will actually help our economy, commerce, defense, etc. (unlike Bush who made a guy who owned horses in charge of our interior(?)- remember Katrina? ; and unlike McCain who’s head economist is the one who eased regulations which has allowed the sub-prime market failures).
Biden is a great smart man. He will serve our country well. I think this complaining over Hillary is sad. If you loved her, love her party. Vote Obama and Biden and let that be it.

I can’t believe there are people who still believe it’s going to make a difference whether you have Biden or Hillary. they are all puppets of the powers that be, the powers behind the curtain. Who cares. and you democrats should seriously read Atlas Shrugged. you might learn a thing or two about yourselves. Start here

Just out of curiosity, when you guys were watching the candidates debate back in December/January, what was your brain thinking while listening to Ron Paul predict the financial debacle that is happening before your eyes?
you americans make me cry. you have an honest politician like ron paul, a man who understands economics more than all the other candidates (dem or rep) put together and raised to the nth power, and yet choose scum like obama, mccain or hillary. i’m really curious to know what your thinking process is. i really am. do you know who are the greatest supporters of obama and mccain? the very financial institutions that are going broke before your eyes.

i’d like to sit down with a dem, a fan of obama or hillary, or a fan of mccain, and find out how they think, how they reach conclusions.
i read some hilarious stuff in the comments above: “you don’t know what hillary stands for. i like her. she’s got values i stand for. i admire her.”
are you insane? to much dope in your 7up?
hillary stands for pure selfishness (so do obama and mccain). they don’t give a rat’s elbow about you or your needs, or lusts towards rich people’s money.
hillary and bill made $107 million in the past few years. some (most) of it from bill giving speaches. speaches? from a guy who betrayed his wife? lied to his country? speaking fees? he goes on tv, and people go nuts for him. what? are you drunk?
what about obama, pro abortion (murderer), the most liberal guy in congress, demagogue, populist, says stuff like: “i will take the money from the evil banks (he already did, they are his biggest sponsors) and give it to you, ’cause i’m a thief and you are a thief, cause we all want somebody else’s money just because.”
put down the wii. put down the ps3 and the xbox. pick up a book. read your founding fathers. read the new testament. read the parable of the ten talents. you guys are the guy with the one talent, which will get taken from you and given to the guy with the ten talents. read, for your own sake, before it’s too late, before the monsters of the likes of obama, mccain, or hillary drown you in your populist stupidity.

Francesco, you make it sound like Ron Paul is God. He is not. I agree about the other candidates but Ron Paul is no different. He is a “politician”. I’m just glad the founders had the vision to create balance of power. That way people like you and the people you worship like Ron Paul couldn’t ever get complete power as you look down on everyone else who have different views.

Michelle would never allow her hubbie to select HILL. There would be nothing but friction for 4 years. HILL would get the spot light that Michelle is looking forward to.

I make it sound like Ron Paul is God? only because i pointed out that his rothbardian predictions on the economy were right?
on the contrary, Obama’s supporters invest him with supernatural powers. This is what they expect this one man to do:
Create a green future — based on renewable sources of energy.
Create millions of new jobs and help the middle class with tax cuts, college subsidies and increased pay for teachers.
Create a foreign policy that’s safe and secure. Repair frayed relationships, initiate tough diplomacy, save billions by ending the war in Iraq.
Create a smart, cooperative campaign to eliminate the terror threat and control nuclear materials.
Create schools that serve all children from birth.
Create a health care system for all Americans at costs all can afford.
Create a good, honest, transparent administration. Accountable to all. Led by one who has thought deeply about our needs and acted for two decades to put his goals into practice.
I remain of my opinion. Dems (obama supporters) and neocons (mccain supporters) are thieves that want a candidate that will sanction their evil lust for the money of the rich.
What they do not know is that the rich protect themselves very well. They set up their streams of income so that very little of their handsome profits is paid in taxes. I know because i know rich people and see how they do this. and it’s all legal. why? because the rich lobby politicians like obama and mcain to allow for these loopholes in the tax code that the middle/lower class does not know about (no access to bright cpas and tax lawyers). any smart man should see through the populist rhetoric of such lowlife politicians. it amazes me that they don’t. they vote obama in the hope that he will tax the rich more than the lower class, in effect stealing money for the productive people to give to the less productive. obama is more than happy to comply. the rich are also more than happy to comply since they will end up using tax loopholes to declare less income than the lower class. in the end the lower class elects obama only to see their income taxed more. that’s what happens when you are evil and stupid.

Two of the candidates are senior members
of the poorest rated Congress since records have been kept.(Biden and McCain) The third has the least record of accomplishment of even any of the pages in Congress (Obammy)and the fourth is probably the most honest and best person for the NO.1 job on either ticket.At least, the hottest. How the people can win is beyond me..I think they are making this election a big joke so that when the collapse comes, and the NAU is in force, we won’t rise up and hang them all.

Say its not true! Obama needs Biden’s, he brings a maturity to the team that allows Obama to be the visionary. Surely there is a key role within the new administration for Hillary, but not VP. Obama must not stoop to McCain showboat tactics.

Yes, Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice for v.p. and this may just bite Obama on the butt because he let his pride dictate his choice. McCain did the same thing. They both did not think it through and now, because Obama didn’t pick Hillary and McCain did pick a woman, we may be stuck with the two worst people imaginable (Republicans)to run this already distressed country. Good going Obama. If this is any indication of the kind of leader you plan to be, I am very afraid.

This year’s candidate’s are the worst I have ever seen, especially the Democrat choice, Obama. God forbid we get him
! Mercy, what is this world coming to when voters are faced with nothing but ‘bad choices’? If there is an ‘Independent’ choice, wouldn’t that be a hoot if he won the presidental election…………
