U.S. Secret Service on Way to Biden’s House; Kaine and Bayh Told Nope on Veep

The suspense is too much!

Yawn. Hardcore liberal-Marxist picks hardcore liberal loser for VP spot. Whoopie-doo.

Biden has foot-in-mouth disease. Good luck.

And who are these people who fell for the oldest marketing trick in the world and gave their cellphone numbers to Obama for future spam?
Biden or no Biden Obama’s problem goes beyond experience. He just can’t be trusted. People get a sense that he will play both sides of an issue to get his way. If he says he believes in something, you sit there wondering how long will that belief holds before it shifts.
That a problem no Biden or Hillary can solve.

If Obama picks Biden then it’s game over for his Presidental campaign.
World events and the Republican media machine will leave Obama wondering why he didn’t do a deal and take Hillary Clinton on board. She is his only chance.
Omama can pack up and head back to Hawaii and save himself and his family the anguish and the agony of defeat of the coming months to the election.

I think Biden is an excellent choice….he is a symbol of the old guard that will result in Obama losing his bid to be coronated as king of america!

His mouth will get him in trouble…..

Biden is a losing selection. He plagiarixed a speech word for work and had to withdraw from the 1988 election.
Oh, Obama plagiarized the Gov. of Mass speeches too.
Seems like a marriage made in a political science class.
Sorry, this time I have to go with the moderate and the leader: Senator McCain.

Obama/Biden 100%!! I have been hoping for this ticket.
-De supporter

ONE HOUSE, ONE SPOUSE — OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!

Joe who?
LMAO!
Say it aint so, Joe!
Give me Hillary or give me McCain!

Biden said Obama was clean and articulate. Look it up – true quote.

YAY! Obama is toast!! Hillary 2012!!

Biden is more experienced than McCain and has a lot better judgment. We are in PA and know and like him well. So he likes to talk…big wup. What pol doesn’t. Nothing he says could be as bad as “Bring it on Bush” and “Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran John”.

julie, ha ha!
Joseph Biden?
McCain up 5 points according to Reuters at a time in the race when Republicans are usually down 15 — and often come back to win?
McCain’s convention and VP pick both to follow Obama’s giving him a bump?
Ha ha!

Who needs to mount an October surprise when you have an August meltdown.
Here’s to the wrinkly white haired president…

Yay! Biden is a man’s man. McCain & Co. are not going to know what it them! Big Joe got’s a mouth on him!!

Oh, I almost forgot. Tony Rezko gets sentenced a week before the election. Sad really.

Maybe Biden can help Obama plagarize his acceptance speech…right from Karl Marx.

The news media act like giddy little school girls waiting to find out if the football captain is going to ask them to the prom. All the smiling and the speculating and laughter over this big question. Who cares about Obama’s vice president? A block of Swiss cheese would improve that ticket.

Joe Biden, the ultimate Washington insider for the last 36 years?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Biden will make McCain angry, great choice! McCain’s handlers are going to have their hands full

THE VEEPSTAKES “PLACEHOLDER THEORY”:
Question:
If Obama does indeed announce Biden as his VP pick in the morning, could Biden end up being just a “place holder” for the REAL VP pick — who’s name will be… Barack Obama??
And could the person who picks him be… Hillary Clinton?
…or Al Gore?

Biden the plagarizer? Better than J. Edwards the Womanizer, I guess, but not much.
This is the guy who not only trashed Obama in the debates, but said he was a “clean” “articulate” black man, and made fun of Hindus (all caught on video.)
This guy is going to be a DISASTER for the Democrats.
There is a God after all. THANK YOU, Messiah Obama!

“Yay! Biden is a man’s man. McCain & Co. are not going to know what it them! Big Joe got’s a mouth on him!!”
Please, like this is a threat, now we have two untrustworthy people, he stands no chance.
Also, if your going to post online for the world to see, try going back to grammar school. If Barack Obama’s supporters are using phrases like “Big Joe got’s a month on him” hes better off out of the oval office.
Thanks,
Lance

Bob Barr in 2008/smaller government and IRS changes (putting more needed money back in the pockets of hard working American taxpayers), restoring personal freedoms and liberty, ending the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and eliminating our role as the world’s policeman.
Democrats (8 years of Clinton) and Republicans (8 years of Bush) have led us to the brink of economic and foreign policy disaster.

hahahaha! all you suckers who gave obama your cell phone #’s and email addresses. you want change well you got it. the change in your pocket that’s left over after having all your money sucked out of it…..
HERE’S THE CHANGE. thank you obama! you really have shown us how to do away with the politics of old…..by picking the biggest washington do nothing insider there is.
i think spike lee would say “we’ve been bamboozled.”
not me brother….not me.
rope!

Biden, on a post-debate appearance on MSNBC, October 30, 2007: “The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain.”

The Obama campaign never said they were announcing it Wednesday, then Thursday, then Friday, then Saturday. Its the silly media who is keeping this story alive. The Obama people are just being smart, and letting the dumb media give them free coverage. Its really brilliant if you ask me.

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
What a hoot!

Bye Biden and Obama.
Come on MAc..pick they guy who cares about the working class and isn’t “out of touch” and has 1 home—Mike Huckabee.

To the people still poking fun at McCain for not knowing the number of houses he has…all politicians have missteps, can’t recall details, etc… whether it be in the personal or professional life.
Recently Obama was asked about providing health care in hospitals to children suffering from asthma. He said if the “kids were getting treatment, you know with the breathalyzers…”. Is this as big a gaff as McCain, no. Did McCain gets his houses legally and without having to use a now convicted felon? Yes. Did Obama? No. That’s the REAL housing story. You rabid Obama supporters need to look deeper into the Tony Rezko story. Those were some shady real estate deals.

Obama should have picked himself for VP and Hillary for President.
Looking forward to the big Hillary in 2012 Campaign Kickoff Event in Denver next week. LOL
How many guys turned him down for him to miss his own deadline?

Who cares? I mean, Biden??!!! He only has like one home. That’s so like nothing. How can he compete with my dad’s 11 homes or Romney’s 14 homes and 3 yachts???

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
Too good to be true — for McCain, that is.

I do not believe that anyone at the Secret Service would divulge any security measures or activities to anyone let alone a political reporter.
I will wait for Senator Obama’s text message. Reporters can guess and use suspect “reliable” sources all they want.

There was a police car at Biden’s house earlier .. maybe there have been some threats and that is why the secret service is going there… Biden is a Senator so the secret service could be going to protect him .. it doesn’t mean that he is the VP pick.

Hey SK, gosh, I hope you’re right. Otherwise, this is one of the most overhyped let-downs in political history. I’m a supporter of Obama and am reconsidering unless it’s a home run. The idea that the media has hyped this isn’t fair. The Obama camp has played this for all it’s worth and now they have to deliver. Anyone outside of Al Gore or Hillary is nothing but a slick marketing campaign.

This is extremely disappointing. I was really hoping for Vice President Fossilman.

Why not Hillary?
Hillary is far better than Biden.
It should be Hillary. Why has he chosen a second rate VP?

Ding, dong, the witch is dead, which old witch… well we’ve finally put the long overdue nail in her and Willy’s coffins. Biden is a stellar selection and will further augment Obama’s November election chances. Instead of back to the future for HRC, it’s back to the Senate. She’ll get over it.

isn’t it ironic that Mccain supporters are bashing
Biden for saying stupid things. I’ll wager Biden knows whose on our side in Iraq. Also, the plagarizing happened just about the time McCain was one of the Keating Five. Do you really want to review the 80′s?I’m also willing to wager Biden didn’t graduate in the bottom .5% of his class.

Buuh bye Barack Hussein!!
Joe Biden is nothing more than an old guard hack, one who runs his mouth like a sewer. He is a rambling accident waiting to happen. Oh yea, he’s been known to plagairize every now and then. Two empty suited huge egos on the same stage…..nice!!
Hillary was B. Hussein’s chance, but his ego wouldn’t allow that.
Buhhh bye BHO!!!!! You and your hate mongering friends…..all of them!

When Bush engaged Iraq, Liberals reminded us of the “Pottery Barn Rule.” Specifically, if you break it, you bought it. We were expected to pay for the damage we did in Iraq.
Under an Obama administration, we apparently will have a reverse pottery barn rule. Obama explains “in calling for an additional $1 billion in reconstruction assistance for the people of Georgia.” Applying the wisdom of the left, this means:
If someone else breaks it, you still pay for it.
It’s remarkable what a lifetime of inexperience, association with deviant friends and guilt can lead you to believe.

Outstanding! Obama picked “Biden the Blowhard”. How many speeches will he plagarize, how many feet wwill he place in his ample sized mouth, and how many votes will he cost the chosen one!

The mainstream media is acting like a kid camping out at a Target store to get a Wii game first in the morning. Obama has turned our election process into a charade with No Dignity and No Class.

STOP IT OBAMA!!!! You had my vote in the primary, but I will NEVER, EVER, EVER vote for you ever again.
You never even ran a key meeting of the sub-committee you chair, how the heck can you lead the exec branch of government?
The Biden pick solidifies it all for me: McCain in 2008.
Biden is a blowhard and perpetual losing prez candidate.

How about Biden for President, and obama for VP on the ticket with him?
That might work better.
We Hillary Supporters won’t forget this, America………

“Why not Hillary?”
Because of Bill Clinton. There are certain documents Bill refuses to release. There’s also a controversy brewing about his business abroad.
Hillary – Bill = VP
Hillary + Bill= Senate

I wonder how Obama and his friend, Joe Biden, arrive at the figure of 1 billion dollars for Georgia? Whatever the calculations were, isn’t it strange that it came out to an even 1 billion?

The CHANGE that Obama is promoting is a change from the goons currently running our country down the drain, and I think if the VP choice IS Joe Biden we will all be lucky. Unlike W and Cheney, neither candidate smirks or stumbles around with a lousy vocabulary. They are both SMART SMART SMART and don’t need teleprompters (or Joe Lieberman whispering in their ears) to know what to say.

I’ve been hoping for this from day one.
It’s official. We have a winning ticket!!!

Oblah-blah just doesn’t get it. HALF of our party voted for Hillary Clinton. Half of them aren’t pleased. The nominee cannot win with a full quarter of the party sitting out the election/voting for another candidate. It’s simple mathematics. Then there is simple truth: old women vote. Religiously. Frat boys don’t. Statistically. Hail to the chief: John McCain. I can’t wait to see in Obama’s eyes (and those of his supporters) what I saw in the eyes of so many Hillary supporters after the nomination was stolen from her. I can’t wait to see them EAT it.

Hey Brian,
Sorry to burst your bubble about McCain. He and Cindy have had plenty of real estate transactions with CHARLES KEATING of the Lincoln S&L scandal. Not only real estate, they were best friends and he made use of Keating planes, etc. etc. Rezko can’t hold a candle to the corruption of Charles Keating and the poor judgement of John McCain.

I think Biden is the best possible choice. He’s brilliant on foreign policy and he’s brilliant on judicial and Constitutional issues. He adds experience and age to the ticket in addition to his expertise on foreign policy and the Constitution.
As to the text messaging, I think it’s brilliant on behalf of the Obama campaign. There’s been a few bumps in the road, but this campaign has been run so well. Those text numbers can be used for get out the vote, other messages from the campaign. Brilliant move by the campaign.

Dating myself, I have first noticed Biden when he presided over the Watergate Hearings. I was very impressed. He is the bulldog Obama needs to tear apart the McCain lies. Biden has been there to see McCain first hand. His foreign policy experience will also counter McCain the warmonger.

The Republicans are scared. The only issue McCains leads is Foreign policy. Joe Biden cancels out McCain.

After reading the posts here, one wonders whether the Obama campaign would really do this.
Maybe we’ll wake up tomorrow morning and realize it was “a storybook, man!”

Biden is a really good guy but I don’t think he’ll really help Obama where he needs it. He would help Obama govern, but he won’t help Obama win. And if he never even vetted Hillary and just blew her off, as I suspect he did, the Hillary folk will go bananas.

After picking BO over Hillary, Democrats never had a chance. Now with Biden on the ticket, its a landslide for MCain. I am an independent. I like his chances. I knew Democrats blew it again. They lost my vote by not picking Hillary.

Good pairing. Biden did say that Obama was “clean and articulate” for a black guy.

What if Hillary was the Dems choice and she Biden was her pick? You guys don’t know how you sound and are not loyal to your party!!! LOSERS

I’ve watched Joe Biden at too many Senate hearings where he tries to grandstand and badger whoever is testifying, and then flash his little fake smile. Reminds me of an oily used car salesman. Obama obviously was trying desperately to choose someone with gravitas, but there really aren’t any Democrats who fit the bill.

It’s really precious to see Clinton supporters complaining about Biden being a Washington insider who said bad things about Obama during the primary campaign… might I remind them of how much of an insider their ‘chosen’ one is? Or that she endorsed McCain over Obama? By comparison Biden’s comments were flattering.
As to the other ‘crap’ and yes, folks that is what it is. I don’t care who you support or what party you belong to – there is little question that this Administration and Karl Rove don’t believe in rules when it comes to elections. Obama needed a VP candidate with serious foreign policy chops just to avoid the melt-down from ‘lemmings’ (those who panic and run) WHEN this admin would have a ‘terrorist alert or threat’ in October. Surely you can see that -
McCain – plaigarizer, elitist, womanizer, hothead who called his wife a c*nt (this is easy to verify too)… I find it hard to complain about Obama or Biden in light of all that.
Keep in mind, we have people coming back from a year in Iraq with serious PTSD and they weren’t POWs. McCain was a POW for 5 years and never got ANY help when he got home… you REALLY wanna believe he’s stable? Dream on. Take a few moments to look up what other Republicans have said about him in the past. They are the ones with whiplash now… scared to death of him but lining up in march step to get him elected. Congratulations if you succeed…. I just wonder how you would call yourself a Patriot in that event. Being loyal to a Party is not the same as being loyal to your country or the world.
Can’t we PLEASE have a President that believes in getting along for a little while?

How is this change, Senator
Obama?

i was a hillary voter in the primery but i think sentator biden would be a very good vice president. iam sad not to see hillary on the national stage but i think she will continue to be a great senator.
i feel like obama and biden present an excellent mix of experience and ideas and policy. very intersting!

Whoa. Somebody tried to bash Bush by saying that unlike the Prez, Obama is articulate without a teleprompter?? Obama is not a great speaker; he’s a good reader. So am I. If I hire a good speechwriter and read his/her speeches eloquently, does that qualify me to be president? Neither does it qualify him.

I am NOT an Obama supporter, but if Joe Biden is the VP I’m jumping on board and will do everything I can to support them this November.

Biden won’t hesitate to “mistakenly” refer to McCain as “songbird,” which will finally send all of you wing-nuts to GOOGLE so you can find out what a phone liar this old codger really is.

Obama – Biden does not represent change. Biden dropped out of the presidential race early, Hillary didn’t – big slap to Hillary.

“What a joke, at our expense. So Hillary was notified through back channels that she’s out; now that’s respect. Well, if $50 million dollars bought Obama 3 percentage points over McCain in August, I wonder what 25% of 18 million of us Dems voting for the Arizona senator in November will buy – oh, I know, the presidency for the eminently qualified Senator from NY in ’12. I can’t believe Obama would put the election at risk this way. What arrogance.”
This is … utterly incomprehensible. I am dumber for having read this. You lose, and I award you no points. May God have mercy on your soul.

“The Republicans are scared. The only issue McCains leads is Foreign policy. Joe Biden cancels out McCain.”
Oh, and that little thing called, “the economy”.
McCain now leads that too, Vanessa.
G’bye 2008 hopes!

sad if it is biden. he has been in washington longer than mccain. just another boring, old fat cat insider.
what happened to hope and change?
i get it that obama needs somebody with experience-but biden is just more of the same…

Joe Biden is absolutely the best. And if he’s the one, Obama is illustrating intelligence, courage and amazingly great judgement. Joe will never be a yes man; Barack shows he really is interested in hearing straight talk, and considering honest opinions when making his decisions, if Joe is his choice.
Go, Barack Obama. I’m crossing my fingers…
I will sleep well tonight.
Obama/Biden 08!!!

So Barack Obama has been “BIDEN” his time.

Biden is the perfect choice. His big ass mouth will drown out the entire GOP. All you folks for Hillary… you guys don’t really want to risk Roe, right? If she was on the ticket, imagine what the GOP smear machine would do. Using the VP pick’s own words against the nominee. Preposterous! Clinton is still a junior Senator. Two junior senators for the White House? Biden has been a legislator for a long fruitful political career. He grew up blue collar. The man went to Georgia because Saakashvilli couldn’t stand Gramm and Lieberman meddling, alongside John Sidney McCain III’s and Scheuneman’s empty promises of American support for an attack on S. Ossetia, to bate Russia. Putin and Medvedev called their bluff, and the US and NATO won’t get involved. Pat Buchanan was right. John Sidney McCain III’s rhetoric on Georgia was rash, and if he were President, we’d definitely have another Cold War.

praying its biden, like RUSH said today, he has a ton of stuff against him, this is going to be good, I have watched him for years on the floor and in committee hearings and OMG!!! he is as arrogant, conceited, eliest as egobama, maybe even worse, his mouth is awful, he has said some pretty bad things, remember the comment about people in 7-eleven some reference to indians or some ethic group, it was pretty bad, the rnc are going to have a ball with some of his own words, this man is also the rudest I have ever seen.. bring it on egobama, but I still think it may not be and this is all a joke

To all you Hillary “supporters” voting for McCain and his neo-con backers:
When your sons and nephews end up drafted for an ill-conceived effort to “spread democracy” to Iran or Sudan, when your daughters and nieces end up dying from complications from third-world abortions, because there’s no place for a safe procedure here, when your grandchildren are suffering through the Second Great Depression because our oil-dependent economy has collapsed and the dollar has lost all value, there will be no one to blame but yourselves. But I will remind you every single day of what you have done to ruin your country. A vote for McCain is a vote for Lindsey Graham as Secertary of State, Trent Lott as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and two more Scalias on the Supreme Court. It’s a vote for tax cuts for the rich and budget deficits, and a vote against universal health care, reproductive rights, and peace in the Middle East.

My husband wanted to support Biden if Obama did not run.
We are so thrilled to have our own personal dream ticket: Obama-Biden
This is fantastic.

If it’s Biden, Obama has really hurt himself. Biden adds no regional strength, no executive experience, no military service, and no credibility on issues important to centrist-right voters. I mean, Biden has run for president several times and shown he does not attract voters. Beyond that, Biden is notorious as a blowhard, self-centered personality who’s signature moment in public life was to be confirmed as a serial plagiarist. Finally, he muddles from Obama’s “newness” There’s absolutely nothing fresh about Joseph Biden. What a self-destructive choice for Obama, very much like Edwards in 2004.

Obama is a joke. I’m from Illinois and I can honestly say he has done nothing since he was elected to office. It is laughable that since he sounds articulate people are falling head over feet for the guy. He has no experience and clearly will work to bring a socialist agenda to Washington. Is this the kind of change you want for America? Don’t take my word, research it. In fact I suggest everyone research these guys before voting. Look at their voting records. Does Barrack Obama really represent your views? Read his comments while he was running against Hilary. Amazing how his views have moved to the center since he locked up the nomination. Don’t be lazy, be informed.

Bidden is a joke…the South will surley NOT vote for that pinhead…just wait and see!!!I am still waiting for someone to tell me what Obama Hussein did for his country…maybe a passed bill or a bill that everyone might consider…GET A GRIP…FOOLS!!!!!! His wife would be proud to serve(I am sooooo proud of my country NOW!!!)taking care of our soldiers when they are hurt…NOT!!!

Yes, isn’t Biden on video saying Obama is not ready??!!
LOLOLOL. You can’t make this stuff up.

Biden: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Reading these comments is horrifying. Is it impossible to be level-headed about any candidate? How does it help any of our country’s problems to trash these people who are, at least, trying to make things better? I’m distressed for our population if this inane (at best) and stupidly vicious (at worst) chatter is a true sampling of our electorate’s mindset. Vote whichever way you want, but slinging extremist slurs at McCain, Obama, Biden, Clinton, etc. is just depressing to read and disspiriting to consider. My sons and grandchildren deserve better than this.

No justice no peace

Change my ***
Obama found a piece of souvineur in the history museum and told that piece that in the name of change and hope he would make it the vice president of these United States.
What a joke.
McCain 08!
Hillary 2012!

Biden assessing Obama’s Iraq plan on September 13, 2007: “My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an epiphany” of peaceful coexistence among warring sects. “I’ve seen zero evidence of that.”

Christie wrote the Dems needed Hillary. I agree. She would have added real strength to the ticket where it matters: OH, CO, NV, and FL. Biden? The man ran for president and got no where. He has been proven to have almost no appeal in presidential-level politics. He’s a gaffe machine with a short shelf life. He’s on the record, recently, opining that Obama is not up to be being president. This is a huge, huge mistake if indeed it is Obama’s choice.

Absolutely terrible pick if it is Sen. Biden. Like most VP selections, choosing Biden will not influence voters in the slightest come November — he’s not going to win Sen. Obama any votes, nor is he going to really cost him any.
However, picking Gov. Kaine of Virginia could potentially tilt Virginia in Sen. Obama’s favor, thus dramatically increasing his chances of capturing the White House. Gov. Kaine is not nearly as popular as his predecesor, Mark Warner (who will win his Senate race by 40 points), but Kaine could probably deliver 2-3% of the independent vote here, and that might be just enough to win the state.
As a McCain supporter, I hope Sen. Obama chooses Sen. Biden because it won’t help him win in November.

Biden – another insider! Jezzz, what the hell is wrong with this country. After the biggest idiot in 232 years and all America can come up with is Obama / Biden vs McCain / and another insider. 304 million people in this country and this is all we can come up with.

It has been so sweet to see Obama nosedive in the polls these past two weeks.
Love it.

Biden: December 11, 2007: “If Iowans believe campaign funds and celebrity will fix the debacle in Iraq, put the economy on track, and provide health care and education for America’s children, they should support another candidate,” said Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro. “But I’m confident that Iowans know what I know: our problems will require experience and leadership from Day One. Empty slogans will be no match for proven action on caucus night.”

You PUMAs make no sense going after Biden. Don’t you remember everything she said about Obama in the primaries? A lot more than Biden did. Don’t you remember her lying about getting shot at? That certainly trumps any decades old plagiarism charge. Hillary was a much bigger liability than Joe and if any one of you could shut up and think for 30 seconds you would realize that.

Also that night, Biden said in a campaign ad, “When this campaign is over, political slogans like ‘experience’ and ‘change’ will mean absolutely nothing. The next president has to act.”

Yes the same as Romney calling McCain a liberal. and McCain firing back calling Romney a liberal.
Romeny attacking McCain on the economy. Dems will surely have a field day.

No, James you are wrong. You put your country first not a political party.

Biden is a good choice, precisely BECAUSE of his sharp tongue.
Obama is too cool, too calm, to really lace it into McCain and the Republicans. On DailyKOS, they were hoping that Obama would nominate a real attack dog as his running mate, and put McCain on the defensive.
Biden qualifies. If it’s red meat the Democrats want, Biden will give it to them.

I was at the Des Moines airport and had an opportunity to meet Mr. Biden as we were both going through security. Nice guy, and very easy to talk to. As a life long Republican I admired his willingness to speak to the issues in Iraq, he was never in favor of cutting and running, though the dividing Iraq into three states was a stretch.

I’m thrilled! I just hope Biden doesn’t become his (our) worst enemy during this final stretch. He cannot control what he says and how he says it sometimes, and while I personally admire his blunt manner it can and will be used against him. Ooh I cannot wait to see him and Romney (ugh) go toe to toe. Chew him up, Joe!

I was going to vote third party. Now I am definitely voting for McCain.
There is no one in politics that I disdain as much as Joe Biden. Go back and watch the hearings on the Branch Davidians. This man scares me.

Man, there’s a lot of “uninterested” Republicans finding themselves “accidentally” stumbling across this and commenting on this subject. Funny that. Admit it, you can’t get enough Obama, can you? Shouldn’t you be busy watching one of McCain’s inspiring moments with your real neato friends, discussing his depth, power, vigor and vision? Oh that’s right, he doesn’t have any.

Earlier this evening Candy Crowley was saying that Biden can really identify with everyday people because he is the poorest man in the Senate with a net worth of MINUS $300,000. Who is the bugger idiot Crowley, Biden, or Obama for picking him to help deal problems like our multi-trillion dollar debt?

Republicans will rejoice if Biden is, in fact, Obama’s VP. If someone had asked who I thought would be one of the most damaging folks Obama could pick, Biden would have been at or near the top of my list. It is difficult to imagine a bigger windbag, more arrogant pol, or conniving opportunist. The only hope for Dems is that McCain does something nearly as wood-headed and taps Mitt Romney as his running mate.

Doesn’t anyone understand that our country need solutions to problems that have been festering for 50 years through Democrat and Republican administrations and Congresses.
The upcoming debates should be strictly limited to each candidate simply addressing the various issues and stating their proposals to solve the problems.
No finger-pointing about past votes or positions. Who cares about the past. It’s our future that’s at stake.

Well they certainly cornered the FAR left wing element of the party… and they both are plagerizers
ITS NOT HILLARY! What a mistake.
McCain 08
Hillary 12

This has to be a ruse — a diversion. Something to keep the cheerleading squad up all night. I mean, to elect a Beltway hack like Biden — a poster child for “politics as usual” if there ever was one — is this the “change” Obama and his flock have been promising?

The suspense? I am so bored out of my gore about this Vp, it isn’t even funny. I know Rush Limbaugh must be excited about Biden possibly being chosen (lord, why?) This going to be like shooting fish in barrel if the case.

JA, the problem with statements like that is you can say the same thing for damn near anybody who McCain picks for veep. Unless they supported him from the jump.

If Obama has chosen Biden as his running mate, then McCain should pick Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. That way, McCain can pick up a lot of female voters who were disappointed that Hillary didn’t get a shot this year.
Because if McCain wins, and President McCain is too old to run for re-election in 2012, then Vice President Sarah Palin will be in a good position to be America’s first female president.

Just found this…enjoy!
JOE BIDEN, BARACK OBAMA
Obama’s Running Mate, in 2007: ‘I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is.’
Man, the attack ads on Obama featuring quotes from his own running mate are just going to be brutal:
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos: “You were asked is he ready. You said ‘I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.’”
Sen. Biden: “I think that I stand by the statement.”
(ABC’s “This Week,” 8/19/07)
Picture the voice over: “If his own running mate has doubts about whether he’s ready for the job… shouldn’t you?”

IF, and it’s a big if, this isn’t all a head fake, and Biden really is the choice, Republicans are going to be extremely happy tomorrow.

Most of the Hillary posts are by the Republicans who wanted her only because they felt she’d be easiest to challenge by the fanatical Bush/Mccainiacs….The Democrats who truly supported Hillary will still vote for Obama because we have nothing in common with Mccain silliness or his erroneous approach to international and economic issues and policies….and she will tell you that also….Just listen on Tuesday. Let’s all put Obama to work for America!

John McCain voted against equal pay for women. What’s a matter with you people. He will tip the supreme court to mostly conservatives what the heck is wrong with people. This election is too important. It will be the same sorry politics like the last 8 years. McCain is worse. This country will continue to have little respect globally. I have travelled to many places internationall for my job ..it is true. Many folks in the European country I was in apoligized to me the day after the 2004 election. They said..we are sorry for your country…..This is why Georgia and Russia is so screwed up…Our foreign policy….Wake up…to see what is really happening.

The GOP is shaking in their boots. Your man handed the dems comedy on a platter. Besides not knowing how many houses he owns does McCain even know how to find his way to the Senate floor. He has not voted on a piece of legislation all year, please someone get the old man a map, compass, or something?

I feel for Hillary Clinton supporters even though I am not a Democrat. She was shafted by her own party for the “golden boy” without any experience. Just like the problem face in corporate America — women pay their dues but miss the corner office for the “new kid” that ends up learning how to run the place from the very woman who was passed over…same thing here. Hillary’s gals are fuming!!!!

You idiots,
You are as stupid as Mc894( that was his rank out of 899). Wow; and you would
have another idiot in the white house; we already have two. If Obama loses, there will be no Hilary 2012; she will be blamed for the lost; trust me on this one.
She will not receive any black or hispanic votes and she will lose.

This is gonna work out alright. Obama/Biden will be easily defeated, clearing the way for Hillary in 2012. After Obama loses this election, he won’t be elected the nominee again in 2012. Thankfully, President McCain will be too blasted old to run for a second term. Bush/McCain politics will continue until then, and the Clintons will step-in at 2012 to help the country recover from the mismanagement of Republican Americans. Every Republican voter will be responsible for the ruin of our country until 2012. It will be the Democrats in 2012 that will restore America to its former grandeur, prior to the disasterous Bush/McCain years: 2000-2011.

Biden, a great man. Is this after he stands in the mirror and repeats to himself I must get my comb over and wig piece just right for the lights. lol. To me, he’s so shallow and has such a big mouth. McCain has won. Take it to bank. Obama is not CIC material. He’s not much to not even try to be respectful to Mrs. Clinton. I can see that.

So women be sure to vote for McJerk who was against women receiving equal pay in the workplace

ONE HOUSE, ONE SPOUSE — OBAMA/BIDEN ’08

What I’m saying is McCain is an elitist who is out of touch with the average American. He [McCain]owns 11 homes. Drives a cadillac. He wears $500 shoes while his wife Cindy McCain drives a lexus in a $3,000 suit.
No wonder he’s has an economic policy that benefits the rich.

Well, it doesn’t get any better than this! For the Republicans, that is. What happened to change in Washington? To turning the page? To the new day, America? LOL… BHO goes and picks someone almost as old as McCain, who’s been around as long as McCain, and who actually likes and respects McCain. I guess he realizes he does need an “adult” to show him the ropes, after all.

If this is true then McCain has just won – horrible choice. His numbers have been slipping for two months. Should have swallowed hard and picked HRC. She was the only one that could have got him to the White House… sadly…

To ALL REAL Demarcates:
Demarcates need to get over Hillary Clinton. She did not win the nomination. I supported Hillary all the way, but I always believe Barrack Obama also was a good 2nd choice.
Obama was certainly a better choice than John McCain or anyone the Republicans could put up.
I was one of the people that said a few months back, I would never vote for Obama.
I came to my sences this election is NOT about Hillary, Barrack, Bill, John, Joe, or Mitt- It is about us. We are the American People that really need someone to fight for us.
Senator Clinton asked us to support Senator Obama-The Democratic- I will do as asked.
Just as I did-Get over it she did not win and maybe she will not be ready in 2012 either.
Hillary and Bill have their place in my heart, but they can afford to pay $4.00 for Gas, $6.00 for milk, Their Million Dollar Home in New York, and I know they will be voting for Barrack Obama in November.
Joe Bidden is not a bad pick if it is him.Even if I did not like Obama because he lacks some World experience, I can’t say that now.
Obama/Bidden 2008 Change and Experience we NEED in Washington.

I am glad that is not Hillary because her supporters were not going to support Obama anyways. I really hope that is Joe Biden, he was one of my fav candidates early on. Clinton would have been a good choice but the negativity from the whole Puma thing, I think, made it impossible for Obama to now all of a sudden choose Hillary. Now let’s the issues lead the debate… Nobody knows who’s gonna win, but I really hope that Obama and the Democrats win this November, before the Republicans destroy our country.
Obama/Biden 2008/2012

The unnecessary humiliation of Hillary Clinton by BO during this process hints at something cruel and reckless about him. This goes beyond his extreme arrogance. Any notion I had of considering a vote for BO ends tonight, for good. McCain is a decent, intelligent man and I will be one of many Clinton supporters happy to cast a vote for him instead.

This is going to be fun. Here comes the train wreck that the democrats so dearly deserve! I can’t imagine a more delusional group than these DNC folk.

In response to “a voice of reason”
when your grandchildren are suffering through the Second Great Depression
because our oil-dependent economy has collapsed and the dollar has lost all value, there will be no one to blame but yourselves. (EVERY COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD DEPENDS ON OIL, THAT IS HOW YOU DRIVE YOUR PRIUS TO WORK EVERYDAY YOU IDIOT!! THIS IS A TYPICAL TALKING POINT OF THE LIBERALS, MAKE THE OIL AND CORPORATIONS LOOK EVIL FOR PROVIDING US WITH PRODUCTS WE NEED TO SURVIVE!!)
But I will remind you every single day of what you have done to ruin your country. (LAST TIME I CHECKED PEOLOSI WENT ON A 5 WEEK RECESS WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT GAS PRICES, WHILE SHE WAS ON HER WORLD BOOK TOUR)

Another win for Obama. Picking Biden is excellent. He brings a bulldog to the fight, along with his undisputed expertise on foreign affairs and judicial and Constitutional issues.
And this text message announcement is another brilliant move. Look how everyone is talking about it. And Obama’s campaign gains access to probably a million cell phone numbers to use later for messages and get out the vote. Smart. Very, very smart.
Obama/Biden ’08. Can’t wait!

GREAT…Not only are we paying to rebuild Iraq, but we are now paying 1 billion to rebuild countries we had no hand in…so when is a politician going to take interest in helping America….Obama/Biden NO DIFFERENCE………..

Biden to the Brookings Institution in 2005: “We can call it quits and withdraw from Iraq. I think that would be a gigantic mistake. Or we can set a deadline for pulling out, which I fear will only encourage our enemies to wait us out — equally a mistake.”

Why are we talking about Hillary Clinton. Get informed and read the Atlantic Magazine article that reviews Hillary’s inability to make decisions and poor strategy. For weeks from January to March she keep changing her strategy and talking points. She was not on message and it was that period of time that Obama won 9 primaries in a row. This is what changed the outcome. Also winning NC and almost betting in Indiana. I almost forgot the bad financial management is the reason for her lose. She still has debt. Which she could pay off by doing some speaking engagements. Stop allowing her to continue to never take responsibility for her own actions. She has done this for over 10 years. Remember its the right wing conspriacy. Hillary clinton takes no responsiblilty for her own mistakes. Especially given her and Bills experience. Right winger go home and stop stiring the pot as we know its you how is spreading lies…Wake up people stop the lies.

Most American are scared to death of change, otherwise we’d have voted for it long before this election! I’m a Democrat but am surprised that Obama has gotten this far. Maybe there is hope yet. No way can the man offer the VP role to someone that is on the outside like him – way too much of a change for people to accept. But a ticket with one well-spoken outsider, and one well-rounded but outspoken insider makes sense to actually WIN the election. People gravitate to personalities, and Obama and Biden have that in spades.

This ticket sounds upside down to me. That said, I might have reconsidered voting for Obama if he picked Hillary. Now I need to decide whether I’m going to write her name in, vote for Nader, or maybe even vote for McCain. I have some soulsearching to do before election day. Unfortunately, the one thing that is certain is I will not be voting for the democratic presidential candidate this year. Although, to be sure, the rest of my ballot will be straight Dem. After the racist, dishonest campaign Obama ran (against a fellow democrat, even!) he doesn’t deserve to be within shouting distance of the White House.

Biden in October of 2002: “We must be clear with the American people that we are committing to Iraq for the long haul; not just the day after, but the decade after.”

In response to “a voice of reason”
and two more Scalias on the Supreme Court.(OBAMA WOULD PUT MORE LIBERAL JUDGES ON THE BENCH THAT WOULD CHANGE THE LAWS FROM THE BENCH INSTEAD OF INTERPRETTING IT LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO, OBAMA JUDGES WOULD CONTINUE TO USE INTERNATIONAL FOREIGN LAW TO MAKE DECISIONS, EXACTLY LIKE THE LIBERAL ONES ON THE COURT HAVE BEEN)
It’s a vote for tax cuts for the rich and budget deficits, (THE RICH IN THE COUNTRY PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH JOBS YOU IDIOT, WHY DO YOU MAKE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUCCESSFULL OUT TO BE EVIL AND THE ENEMY?? ISNT THAT WHAT EVERYONE STRIVES FOR? ISNT THAT THE AMERICAN DREAM YOU IDIOT??)
and a vote against universal health care, (UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE WOULD BANKRUPT OUR COUNTRY, DECREASE THE QUALITY OF HELP CARE. WHY WOULD YOU TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT TO HANDLE HEALTH CARE WHEN THEY CANT GET SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS SOCIAL SECURITY UNDER CONTROL??)
reproductive rights, (YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO KILL A CHILD WHO IS GROWING IN A WOMANS BODY BY STICKING A POLE IN ITS BRAIN WHEN IT IS 5 MONTHS OLD AND KILLING IT WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SUCKING ITS BRAINS OUT THROUGH THIS POLE!!)
and peace in the Middle East (YOU MEAN THE PEACE THAT JIMMY CARTER STARTED 30 YEARS AGO?? HE STARTED THIS MESS THERE AND NOW LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH OR DO YOU MEAN WE PACK UP AND LEAVE IN DEFEAT LIKE THE DEMOCRATS DID TO US IN VIETNAM BY CUTTING FUNDING??).

Delaware is laughing its butt off tonight. Old Joe will open his fat mouth at some point before election day and spew out something so offensive, idiotic, or damaging….count on it.
Delaware knows. We elect this fool every 6 years just to keep us from getting annexed by Pennsylvania.
Obama is so foolish to choose this guy. Remember Biden said Obama was fresh and clean?
McCain Landslide.

Hey Left turn: Your man thinks the US has 57 states.

The voters will get what they deserve…. a failed, one term President, an economy in depression and a world wracked by terrorism.
And that will be the case whether it’s McCain OR Obama. We are a nation of ignorant whiners and beggars interested only in “what’s in it for us”, not what best for the nation.
Have you all forgotten, particularly you Democrats, the words of JFK “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”.
Shame on us all!

I am an active duty member serving overseas for 15 months now. After reading some of the “crap” on this blog, I think I will extend my tour of duty here. Coming back to a country with such ignorant people can’t be good for my family. We’re doing OUR job protecting this country, why don’t you do your JOB as a citizen and as a once great president said, “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” SERVE, and you’ll quickly learn, what LIFE is about.
BTW, instead of slinging mud, just say what you really want to say: He’s BLACK, She was ROBBED, He’s too OLD, it will save lots of typing.

Hillary will be the VP Pick.
Obama cannot win without her and this he now knows.
You will all find out Saturday am.
This is a no-brianer!

Clinton supporters, get a grip. You drank all that Kool-Aid for Bill in the ’90s and you can’t simply cast one vote for the man we desperately need in the White House at this crucial time — Ralph Nader!
Nader ’08

If it is Biden, the Dem Convention will be more lively than we thought and Obama may lose in the election. This is Ted Kennedy’s dream ticket and it’s yet another potential ultra-liberal loser.

It doesn’t matter who wins the election, it will still be a vast improvement over what we have right now-the worst, most corrupt, inept president in a damn long time.

GI JOE…you said it better than I. Thanks for your service…mine was in Vietnam.

December 11, 2007: “If Iowans believe campaign funds and celebrity will fix the debacle in Iraq, put the economy on track, and provide health care and education for America’s children, they should support another candidate,” said Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro. “But I’m confident that Iowans know what I know: our problems will require experience and leadership from Day One. Empty slogans will be no match for proven action on caucus night.”

Do you care Obama running mate? I am not because he is not chosen by us. Although I am a registered Dem, I am interest more about McCain running mate now. It looks like Mitt Romney according to the rumor. I wish it’s true. Also, I wish Hillary is not on the Obama’s VP list. That is what I care.

If this isn’t another head fake, it is likely a very large mistake

While i wholeheartedly continue to welcome Hillary supporters to the fold, when i see the anger, and the McCain ’08/Hillary ’12 slogans, it does illustrate why so many of many did not choose her as our first pick: she is the most like a Republican of all those who entered the primary.

My vote is for Ron Paul.

All you thumbsucking crybaby Hillary supporters need to grow up. I’ve never seen such a bunch of babies.
Hillary lost. She ran a poor campaign. Obama couldn’t pick her because she came with a big liability (Bill and his contributors). SHE caused this, not Obama.
Other than a grade school playground, I’ve never seen such juvenile behavior.

You feel betrayed by the Dems? Just what the hell did you expect?

haabcnews, you forgot AL GORE…elected 43′rd president of the united states.
He is going to be Obama’s VP, he IS READY to lead.
McSameasBush and LIEberman are TOAST!

Neil Kinnock and socialist around the world are thrilled at the prospect.
The rest of us are yawning.
Another liberal from the boys club. Oh joy.

It’s Joe Biden…the distinguished gentleman from Delaware…as Obama would testify in church…Joe Biden has been on the right side of the issues! I like the selection.

Kinda like McCain forgets what kind of car he drives. He is nothing but an oppertunistic LOSER. He could not do ANYTHING on his own merit, except get shot down for a plane.

Hillary 2012! You can bet Hillary gonna have some choice words for Obama’s treachery!!!!

The Republicans are posing as Democrats to “showcase” disappointment. It’s the fear.
Biden vs. Romney
Oh man it’s not even fair. Biden would manhandle Romney.

Obama didn’t pick Hillary for 2 reasons:
1.)She threw a month-long tantrum when she lost, dividing the party in a way that Karl Rove would be proud of.
2.)If he picks her, he mobilizes the GOP base for them, taking care of ALL that McCain had to worry about.
People that think Hillary should be, or even WANTS to be number 2 are seriously delusional…either that, or you’re truly as dumb as the average American voter. . .

Well, that settles it for me.
No Hillary, No Obama.
The election is over as far as I’m concerned.

You know, I sat around my dorm with 10 friends of mine praying for Hillary to be VP. When we heard it was Biden, 6 of us decided to make a pack to vote for McCain. Sorry, but Obama let us down.

obama you idiot!you lost the election……two faced,liar……asking for Hillary’s wholehearted support and having her campaign for you and having her urge her supporters to support you while praising her…………what a slap in the face…..You are all about yourself..you do not care for unity..giving Clinton a speech at the convention is not enough,you will regret your arrogance come November.

I personally like Biden but it is unfortunate if Obama doesn’t choose Hillary because it is dissing the second place choice of the Dems. Plus, he blows the opportunity to make history with a multicultural Pres (why does everyone keep saying “black candidate”; he is MULTICULTURAL!!!) and a woman and the two most popular Dems. That would be a sign of overcoming pride, having great judgement and being a true agent of change and reconciliation. If he doesn’t choose her, he blows it! I just pray the idiots in this country wisen up and don’t vote McCain his 3rd Bush term. It baffles me how stupid the people in this country are, I swear! So freakin’ susceptible to the most feeble ploys of game playing politicians. Idiots screw over themselves, like with their 2 term Bush idiot! Okay I will stop my rant now!

Not worried about this election anymore. I am voting 3rd party Obama is not getting my vote. He likes to play games to much. I wont believe another word that comes out his mouth.

I agree!! The election is over. I hate McCain so I won’t vote at all. Hillary 2012 ! I am so infuriated by this that I am going to do negative blogging of Obama and that old Biden till the election is over. Go Hillary!!

To Know: Great post; bears repeating.
—————————-
And as for the Hillary lovers – get over yourselves, she lost. Nice lady, great race, but she lost. And now, to spite yourselves, you’re going to vote for the other side? You need a big pacifier, pampers and a good burping. Here’s a thought for you, how about a Cabinet post as Secretary of Health Education and Welfare, where she really shines, and can REALLY make a difference? Have a little faith, and if not, we don’t need you, vote for the other side,

Yakkety yak yak! Biden will kick Rove to the curb as the “Old News” that he is. He’ll do the same with all the “Swift Boater’s” too! He’s a crusty old geezer & wears his emotions on his shirtsleeve. By God that is what we need on this ticket and in this country. Obama’s pick tells alot about Obama and he knows Biden is the very best choice. If indeed Biden then I’m thrilled. Obie will make it after all! God Bless America!

I don’t think he could have had anything better than Biden. I like this pick.

All you Hillary supporters now saying you’re going to vote McCain, I assume you don’t care about women’s issues at all? A woman who would vote for McCain is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.
McCain has one of the WORST records on womens’s issues in the senate.

I am so TIRED of Obama’s games!!! He has crushed my dreams of Hillary breaking such an important barrier!!! Obama is such a loser! How could I have trusted him?

Ive always like Biden so I hope he gets it. I wouldnt mind Clinton, who I voted for, but I’m fine with Biden. He’s not afraid to call bs. In fact he uses those words quite often. heh.

Hillary can hang it up for 2012. Her big mouth hubby shut the door on that dream for her.

well, I never really thought it would be Biden, but that’s because I actually really *like* him. I mean, I would’ve voted for him over any of the Dem candidates we’ve had in my lifetime (and yeah, that even includes Clinton/Gore, for whom I cast my first happy, innocent votes). So while I may lose my VP bet, I’ll count it a win if Biden really does turn out to be the pick. wow. Maybe this Obama guy is gonna work out after all… ^~^

Well, what it is –Obama disrespected Hillary even Susan Estrich said that. He said she was a treasure for any ticket. He was too afraid of her. She got 18 million votes and he picked Biden. This helps McCain. McCain has won. That Wright guy mocked Mrs. Clinton while the media laughed along. I don’t like Mrs. Clinton’s ideas but she was treated badly by her own party that she has been so faithful to. The dems in power only care about winning. They don’t care about joe jane american. Mrs. Clinton would have been a force to deal with. Glad it’s done but still think they did her dirty.

I really like Biden. I think Obama makes a very good choice with Biden on board.

You can quote Biden’s statements all you like and you will note that while not always “politically correct”, they are correct and to the point and, usually, what a lot of ordinary people are thinking. He has a lifetime of significant life experiences; a long career of working in the Senate and on the Foreign Relations Committee; he is responsible for negotiating in Bosnia to end genocide; he is articulate, has the kind of smarts that does not test well or do well in school but soars in real life experiences. I think he is cute, handsome! He is an ordinary fellow, very pragmatic. Was it Biden who said “everytime Guiliani speaks he uses a noun, a verb, and a 9/11?” I am a strong Hillary supporter and have been waiting to see the VP choice….I can support this choice wholeheartedly. A President and a VP are to govern and lead; they are not directly responsible for steering the economy, etc; they need to be smart enough to pick competent, knowledgeable people, expect accountability, give direction. Biden will be a great President of the Senate which is what the VP does, I think. I had thought he would be a great Secretary of State. There are many ways Hillary’s talents and skills can be used and I will always be her supporter. I am proud of all she has done on behalf of children, especially, but, also with the Family Leave Act, and Legislation on behalf of Child Abuse and Neglect and Adoption while serving with the Childrens Defense Fund. She is smart, capable, informs herself. It was not meant to be and I have grieved. I know there is something more for her; she is in no way finished!

Listen, disapointed Dems, you HAVE TO get with the program becaus if you don’t then the REPS who give our government over to the control of the crappy corporate world who want to screw us individuals will succeed again. Don’t be decieved and think that the REPS care a whit for individual rights. The DEMS are our only chance to turn this country around. Help the DEMS win so we the people can actually have a voice in our country again!

Why would Obama diss Hillary after she won so many states? Obama is crazy. Hillary would have made a wonderful VP! Biden did very poorly during the debates. The voters got rid of Biden early because he is so cheesy!!!! God help us! Hillary 2012 !

Change We Can Believe In?!?!
Joe Biden is the personification of a Washington insider!

Have you, or anyone, actually CONFIRMED that the Sec. Service is headed to Biden’s house?
And if you can’t, how can you go with a single source?
Also, could Biden be a “place holder” for the REAL VP pick, who could end up to be… Barack Obama? Chosen by Hillary, or Al Gore, after a ROLL CALL REVOLT?

I like Biden a stright shooter who won’t take no ####. Lots of experience instead of the wrong kind of experience like McBush, and a foreign policy sage. The VP debate will be great, Mittens won’t know what hit him.

wow! this is great (and i’m not kidding; i can’t stand obama). biden is a terrible choice. he comes from a state with just about zero electoral votes, he’s a no-name old timer with bad fake hair. this shows how little O really knows.
i was terrified he was going to pick someone who would actually help him in this race.

As a Democrat, this choice just lost the election. Pathetic.
Between Obama who can’t speak without a teleprompter and Biden who says politically incorrect statements every time he talks, this has the makings of a total disaster.
Now we have to wait four more years to have any chance of winning the White House.

If Obama thinks he can backhandedly slap Hillary across the convention floor like this and get away with it, then he is crazy!!! Hillary is going to crucify Obama!! He will rue the day that he cheated her out of the nomination by saying Bill was a racist!!! I will NEVER forgive Obama for this! Does Obama really think that American women are going to just let him walk over them like this???? Obama is toast!!

All of you Hillary supporters need to get a life! She lost the campaign fair and square, and you claim to be Democrats, it seems to me that you all are spoiled brats, because your candidate didn’t win, now you want to whine and complain and say that she was treated unfairly. If the tables were turned, and the shoe was on the other foot, you all would be saying that Barack and his supporters weren’t being fair and couldn’t except reality.
As far as I’m concerned Barack has appeased her more than he should have by giving a speaking roll, not to mention putting her name in nomination. He had just as many if not more votes than she did during the primaries, if he had demanded his name be put in nomination, she and her supporters would be crying “FOUL”.
My point is that Hillary supporters say that they won’t vote for Barack, are wishing for him to lose, so that Hillary can run again in 2012. Let me tell you something, if Barack Obama loses in November because of you , I will guarantee that she will lose just about all of the African American vote. Now she can’t win without it, just like her husband couldn’t have won without it. JUST THINK ABOUT THAT , I KNOW BECAUSE I AM ONE OF THEM, AND THERE ARE MILLIONS WHO THINK JUST LIKE ME. JUST TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don’t forget about the Bradley effect, that is -5 for Obama,
hopefully McSame can keep killing babies illegal

Biden is as unstable as McCain, who is Obama trying to kid. Oh right, himself.

Obama is so insecure!!! He couldn’t handle a smart VP like Hillary. Instead, Obama chose a ####### like Biden. Biden has said so many racist things that Obama is going to surely be losing black votes over this!! All that work for nothing!!! Obama let the gals down. I will definitely vote for McCain.

I think Dem’s got it backwards. It should have been Biden/Obama, not Obama/Biden.
This should translate into about 5 million Hillary supporters going McCain now.

OBAMA SORRY BUT I LOVE HILLARY!!!!!
I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN
OBAMA IS NOT A MEN ENOUGH TO WINN THE
ELECTION CHANGE YOUR NAME OBAMA FOR
MR ARROGANT !!!!
I WILL PUT ALL MY ENERGY WORKING NOW
FOR JOHN MCCAIN

It’s official Biden is the pick….Hurray

I hope Obama sends his frat boys a text to wake them up to vote November 4th. They don’t need us Hillary supporters – just gotta figure out how to turn their base out of bed.

My first pick would be Gen.Clark then Biden then Hillary…So if this is true we will get the change…Biden down to earth and could still set up Hillary for Vice President in 2012 great move.

Obama is supposed to be mending our fences!!! He berated Hillary all during the campaign and now this!!! He’s treated Hillary with wanton disrespect!! I will not vote this year.

stick to facts:
McCain has zero houses:
The houses are Cindy’s and in trust for her children, her aunt:

First off…..for all of the poll watchers, Reuters/Zogby polls likely voters. The people polled are folks with LAN lines and they are not necessarily REGISTERED voters. Can you name at least 10 people with LAN lines that have been surveyed by the pollsters? They usually poll approx 2-3000 people. That’s a small city in my view. Don’t be fooled by the media. And for the HRC supporters…. She lost!! Sure she made history but so did Obama!! Any female HRC supporter who decides to vote for McCain be prepared to give up your rights.

I’m also with Hillary. Never thought to much of Obama’s intellectual laziness. I will sit this one out.

Biden i sthe pick…why is this message being deleted.
It’s all over CNN …from dem sources to John King.
Get over it…

dave actually zogby polls are done online. you can sign up anytime.

Biden gets the nod from Obama after calling him “articulate and clean”? I suppose Jeremiah Wright will get the nod for Secretary of State.

Today was the night Obama lost the election!

Obama and whoever, I dont care – let’s win!

King Obama thinks he can slam Hillary and rule alone. No way!!! He is so crazy!! I will never vote for that two-faced ###! Hillary was promised!!! I will never trust Obama again!!

If you like the way things have been going for the last seven years, vote for McCain. No real American would vote for someone like McCain who will continue Bush’s disastrous policies. For goodness sakes put the country before your pride. You’re not hurting anyone but the people in the military , their family members and the young people who will have to fight these wars that McCain plans on starting.

Gee David, I think you meant to say LAND lines not LAN, meaning phones connected to wires and outlets on walls like I have in my house that I was polled on yesterday. There are a whole lot of people who still have phones with wires attached to them. Actually, I have both LAND and wireless (cell). As far as women’s rights, Jesus was the first women’s liberator. He gave us a choice to honor our own bodies, keep them pure and love of our unborn children. Vote John McCain and save our rights to choose life.

Biden said Obama was not ready to be POTUS when Obama announced, and during the debates, Biden said “Nothing has changed that assessment”.
I guess no one else wanted to go to the dance with Obama.

Keith and Dave,
1) Likely voters are probably registered voters. DUH!
2) RCP indicates that it’s a statistical tie across 9 major polls.
Yeah, as a McCain supporter (read patriot and true American), I’m hardly quaking in my boots. Historically, the Democrats have been ahead at this juncture by a significant margin.
Eat it.

Thank you Obama! You help me voting for John McCain without any regret.
Go McCain/Romney

I have always HATED Hillary! We don’t need her!! Obama can win this election without the Clintons!! I am black and don’t like being told what to do! Obama will lead us to a win!!

Why is she still in debt. Republicans go to bed. Hillary does not represent as much change as Biden. Don’t be decieved that you are 18 million in no. The world is ready for Obama. Stop hating

ROFL at all the Hill supporters. Everyone knew if wouldnt pick her. You weren’t going to vote for him anyways so …oh well! The only people complaining about Biden are people who didn’t support Obama anyways. So goodbye to the PUMA gals and hello to all the republicans that have crossed over to vote for Obama!

Obama is a Zero and I don’t do zeros.
Could care less who his VP is. Just feel sorry for the Democrat who is.

So, the Secret Service’s movements are immediately broadcast around the world? Seems a little lame that they can’t manage to keep their assignments a secret.

Response to Wild…
Yes, John McCain will do everything to make sure your unborn children are born.. he’s going to need every one of them to fight and die in his wars…
You are aware that McCain was ProChoice up until this election cycle, right? Haven’t 8 years of being used by Bush taught you anything? People like Bush and McCain won’t do anything to overturn Roe v. Wade or outlaw abortion… they need people like you to believe in their hollow promises to do so…
Wake up and try voting for someone who gives a damn about children outside the womb for a change…-+ther COMPLETELY turned his back on…

Pay Hillary debt! Leave Obama alone and stop crying publicly. Go to bed and think about your future with the keating five. I respect Obama for standing by his message.

Hillary Clinton lost because she and her staff ran a bad campaign. One of the tests the primary season demonstrates is how well each of the prospective candidates do in organizing their campaign and making it grow. The Clinton campaign ignored the imporance of the caucuses and were playing catch up the rest of the way until they had to admit defeat. Obama ran a campaign that was well organized and left no stone unturned. He deserved to win. Obama’s probable choice of Joe Biden as his running mate his also a demonstration of his good instincts. Biden is experienced, well respected by both republicans and democrats, and will have no problem running circles around any running mate McCain chooses.

I love Obama/Biden!!!!!! And I cant believe typical Americans would write the trash posted here. I think Limbaugh and Hillary are really the ones doing all the posting.

Change, change, with a Washington Senator as VP who has been there 36 years? Oh yeah, a real breath of fresh air. Who are the Demos going to run in 2016? A 74 year old Biden for President? Or do they realize Obama will ##### things up so badly they won’t have to worry about it?

“Enough is enough: Obama WAS a fad. Turns out he is an empty suit that can only read the teleprompter well.”
________________________________________
As oppossed to McCain who can’t even do that……………

I can understand the desire for Hillary or someone associated with her to have been the VP, as it would have been a somewhat smart move from Obama.
However, I can’t quite see how her failure to make the ticket means it’s good to vote for McCain. Is it really worth another 8 years of “the same” just to get revenge against Obama? I don’t think so.
Hillary will be back. She’s really passionate about this and won’t let her loss keep her down. Obama didn’t destroy her political career altogether, so I don’t think it’s worth punishing him.

Hillary Clinton lost because fraud at the caucuses, taking her delegates and giving them to Obama, the MSM disrespecting her and suking up to Obama, half disenfranchising Florida and Michigan when the benefidted Hillary until Obama has needed them, the DNC swine since Feb. continually asking Hillary to end her campgain…AND STILL SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE, 500,000 MORE CITIZENS CHOSE HILLARY.
I don’t reward fraud with my vote.

Mccain and Cindy worth $100 million, Mitt Romney worth 202 million. I can see why they say the economy is strong!

As a woman and a Democrat who struggled between supporting Hillary and Barack (and ultimately chose Obama), I am ashamed of some of the posts on this board, particularly by women who claim to be Democrats, but are willing to throw this country down an even bigger hole than it is already in just to make the Republicans happy. Guess what? Voting for McCain may feel good for about a second after you mark your ballot but who are you really hurting? After you cast that vote and the euphoria of sticking it to Obama wears off, you’ll be bemoaning the fact that we now have a draft, Roe v. Wade was overturned, we’re in a war with Iraq AND Russia, and even though we’re drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge, gas is still $8/gallon.
Ever hear of the phrase, cutting off your nose to spite your face? Stop acting like five year olds – if Clinton gets on board, as all Dems should, then she will be doing herself a favor by putting herself in a good position to run again in 2012, 2016 and/or 2020.
But if you still vote McCain and he wins, please, keep whining because it will make SUCH a difference (not!)

No matter what anyone says here, it is all based on emotions. Vote for whomever you want but use your head and don’t cast a useless vote. Get over all our hang ups and let’s move forward. Enough is enough. Hillary supporters should remember that if she ever wants to run again she will need all the milllions of Obama supporters. She can’t win without them and if she doesn’t get 100% behind Obama she is just killing any chance she has for the future.

It was discovered that Biden sent the letter to the McCain office to Denver that is why the Secret Service is headed that way.

A lawsuit was brought by Philip J. Berg, Esquire, [Berg is a former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania; former candidate for Governor and U.S. Senate in Democratic Primaries; former Chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery County; former member of Democratic State Committee; an attorney with offices in Montgomery County, PA and an active practice in Philadelphia, PA, filed a lawsuit in Federal Court on 8/21.
“MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND FOR EXPEDITED DISCOVERY”
“Plaintiff Philip J. Berg, Esquire [hereinafter “Plaintiff”] hereby offers this Memorandum in support of his motion for a temporary restraining order, to enjoin Defendant Barack Hussein Obama, a/k/a Barry Obama, a/k/a Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack Soetoro, a/k/a Barry Dunham, a/k/a Barack Dunham [hereinafter “Obama”] from running
for the office of President of the United States”
“Obama’s grandmother on his father’s side, his half-brother and half-sister all claim Obama was born not in Hawaii but in Kenya. Reports reflect that Obama’s mother traveled to Kenya during her pregnancy; however, she was prevented from boarding a flight from Kenya to Hawaii at her late stage of pregnancy (which, apparently, was a normal restriction, to avoid births during a flight). By these reports, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama gave birth to Obama in Kenya, after which she flew home and registered Obama’s birth.”
“A research team went to Mombassa, Kenya, and located a Certificate Registering the birth of Barack Obama, Jr. at a Maternity Hospital, to his father, a Kenyan citizen and his mother, a U.S. citizen.”
Can’t wait to see this play out

Keith, I used to think like you but have decided that it’s worth the fight, both to save our Democracy and our way of life and to save our unborn children. That’s why I cannot, in good conscience vote for a man who would make it illegal for a physician/healer to medically assist a helpless newborn in a botched abortion. My reply to your apparent hostility and bitterness would be to keep you in my prayers and repeat what I have already said before: Jesus was the first women’s liberator. He gave us a choice to honor our own bodies, keep them pure and love of our unborn children. Vote John McCain and save our rights to choose life.

-So go ahead and be a McCain supporter( read: senile,out of date, and forgetful)-
So go ahead and vote for Obama (read: dead brain cells, out of mainstream, and unknowledgeable).
So now we have neophyte politician at 47 who is the teleprompter guy accused of plagiarism teamed with 66 year old career politician that has a mouth that never stops, and well known for plagiarism. One black, one white, both males. And the Democrats think this is a winning ticket? Seriously, come on.

Well it looks like Obama just handed the election to John McCain. Don’t blame Hillary supporters for this one. This election should have been a slam dunk for Democrats, but once again will be a loss due to the lack of intelligent party leadership.

This is beutiful, we have a candidate that is so cherry he has to go out and find a vice that will back him up and help with his lack of experience. If you were looking at investing a million dollars (not like that compares to the US Economy) into a company and fount the CEO was undergoing “On the job training” what would you think? This is SOOOOO left, they guy with the experience and ability to lead is the first to bail out durring the primaries because the guy with the least amount of experience wins the nomination ( while the most qualified of all Rep and Dem is left with crap)only to later be selected as the VP!! This is atrocious!! “Hi Mr Smith, my name is doctor Obama I will be performing my first open heart surgery on you today. Not to fear I am an intern but my asistant here Mr. Biden is a doctor and he said you should be OK” I feel like I am living in an Orwell novel!! Is the objective to bring Anarchy to our country and destroy all we are? Come out of the coma people!

McLoser
Thats that

Make it rain for McCain! I’m going to buy one of those HILLARY 2012 bumper stickers!

Obama is Kenyan born?? What?? IS this true, are the documents legit??

So Johhny,
You’re down with the McCains adopting Obama’s half-brother and putting him up in one of their 11 houses too? Think of the possibilities! What a PR coup that would be!!!
Nice to see you’re so passionate about giving money to help out poor people in Kenya though… how much have you given?

Hillary Clinton lost because fraud at the caucuses, taking her delegates and giving them to Obama, the MSM disrespecting her and suking up to Obama, half disenfranchising Florida and Michigan when the benefidted Hillary until Obama has needed them, the DNC swine since Feb. continually asking Hillary to end her campgain…AND STILL SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE, 500,000 MORE CITIZENS CHOSE HILLARY.
I don’t reward fraud with my vote. I’m going to vote McCain. At least he’s a war hero.

Biden was a good choice.

B2Slim- That was an outstanding post. It is funny how the media has done nothing to recognize her charitable work. She did more charity work in the 70s than all the Obams did their entire lives. While Cindy was handed babies for adoption from mother Theresa Michelle was working for a law firm. How many adoptions has the Obama clan made? How many charitable trips has Michelle made? I would like to see the tax returns stood side by side, I bet the McCains have given more to charity in the last four years than the Obamas has made their entire life.
These are good people regardless of politics, you smear them and you all look much worse!!!

P U M A has 250 supporters!! LOL

9.7 million PUMA supporters were just slapped in the face by Loserbama. We will remember in November !!!
>>>>>>>>>>>> PUMA in ’08

HOURAY YIPPEE!!!!!!
OBAMA DID NOT CHOSE HILLARY
HILLARY CLINTON IS POLITICAL CAPITAL, NOT TO BE WASTED ON A DEAD HORSE CALLED OBAMA.
BYE OBAMA , SEE YOU BACK IN CHICAGO-
JEREMIAH MISSED YOU
BIDEN WHO??
TJ, THE CLINTONITE, MAN W/O A PARTY SAYING, WE SHOULD BY[ASS THIS ELECTION AND JUST INAUGURATE MCCIAN
MY GIRL HILLARY 2012–

It’s offical and all the news websites are now confirming it is Biden. It was leaked out of Obama’s campaign.
All of those eager supporters waiting by their cellphones for “the message” will find out several hours AFTER the rest of the world. What a deal.

I’ve been reading some of the comments on this board and I am confused. People say this is not a race affected presidency. But I think it is. Why? Well if you read some of the comments throughly you will find people saying “i am black and voting for Obama.” Is this not a racist statement? What if someone said “I am white and voting for McCain.”? What would happen? Who cares what color you are. I don’t. But it seems to me that when you put comments out there like those you lead people to believe that you are a racist and will only vote because the canidate is your race. If this nation wants to rid us of the race card and racist ideas and thoughts than US ALL OF US need to stop with the comments. If not it’s not fair to get pissed if the other side says we’re white or whatever race you and I am voting for one of my own. So sad. We are in the year 2008 and most of us want to change our way of thinking but certain groups have not. Please people pick your canidate for the right reasons and not because he is your color.

GMH, Cindy McCain has released her tax returns.
But good to see the hope and change is officially dead. Good luck painting McCain as a washington insider when you’ve got Biden who’s been in washington longer then I’ve been born. Not to mention like Obama he was completely wrong on iraq (saying Bush was postponing losing with the surge that turned out so succesful) and Biden himself highlighted the fact obama skipped meetings on afghanistan.
Also that bipartisanship claim by Obama is also officially dead. I mean it should have been already as Barry never once risked anything in the name of bipartisanship (if he risked so much on campaign finance reform why did so many dems vote yea?). But Biden has never reached across the aisle on any issue of risk either.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!
IT’S NOW OFFICIAL AND CONFIRMED. LET OBAMA SUPPORTERS WAITING FOR THE MESSAGE SO THEY ARE “THE FIRST TO KNOW” KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. CNN, MSNBC, AND FOX HAVE ALL CALLED IT.

Keith – Keep saying that as I hope it turns to a scandal. I was there and have the photos of MT kissing her (not in the Rosey Odonnal way)

Now McCain should put Condoleezza Rice on his ticket and he’ll pick up the disgruntled females who supported Hillary and even a few African Americans. I don’t think Obama had much choice, if he had picked Hillary it would have been seen as an act of desperation especially since he’s plummeting in the polls. And can you imagine what the cabinet meetings would have been like. Hillary would have to constantly explain how things work in the real world, since he’s only been operating at the national level for three years and one year of that time has been spent running for the Presidency.
As a 53 year old lifelong Democrat I would have gladly voted for Hillary, but I cannot in all conscience replace a Republican Village Idiot with a Democratic version of the same, John McCain you have my vote!

Votergal, you must learn the 21st century. it is not racist for a black person to say they’re voting for Obama because he’s black. Its only racist for a white person to vote for a white candidate regardless of their reasoning, didn’t the democratic primaries teach you anything? When Hillary got 85% of the white vote, it was due to racism. When Obama got 95% of the black vote, well that was all about issues.

Some of the comments on this are really making me have even less faith in the American voter. Someone said that just because he didn’t pick Hillary means that 18 million women are going to vote for McCain instead?! That’s complete lunacy. You don’t vote for someone who has the complete opposite views as the person you endorse just because the person you’d rather have running isn’t available. You chose a president based on your convictions and beliefs and vote for who you believe will live up to them. If you are a Hillary supporter and are switching parties because Barack Obama is not a woman means that you have no convictions in the first place. The number of people in this country that are willing to throw their convictions and beliefs away for the smallest of reasons just astounds me.

For those of you upset that it’s not Hillary, I understand your disappointment.
But I don’t think Obama could ever have taken Hillary as VP. Not because of Bill or because of how the Repubs could attack her, but because the danger to Obama’s personal safety would have been too great.
Would someone really be tempted to take out Obama so that Biden could then become President?

As a (white 30 male) Hillary supporter, yes, it is asking too much to ask for civility, or to ask us to just “fall in line” behind Barack. Maybe it wouldn’t have been too much to ask if we had counted FLA and MI *when they voted* … maybe not if Hillary, WHO GOT MORE POPULAR VOTES THAN OBAMA, had even been on the VP shortlist… maybe not if Obama had honored his pledge to pay down Hillary’s debt. He has done nothing to acknowledge the pssion and commitment of Hillary’s 18 million supporters, and now he wants us to just vote for him?? Sorry, but Biden is the final slap in the face. McCain ’08! Clinton ’12!
All this venom–I can’t decide which is worse McCain supporters or Clinton crybabies. Can you even imagine what Clinton would have done to Obama had she been the Democratic nominee and his supporters had acted the way hers have?Like it or don’t, the majority of Democrats has spoken and have their nominee. As much as HRC fans complain about the horrible “sexism” they experienced, sorry but it will never be the equilivent of the racism experienced by many in the Obama camp. Many of these young kids out there phoning and going door to door were traumized by the hate-filled words and actions of those they encountered. And as closely as I followed the campaigns, I never saw anyone refuse to shake her hand as I saw with Senator Obama. And for those of you who still want to vote for McCain out of immature spite, and if he wins and only serves as president for 4 years, remember all the damage Bush-Cheney did in their first term. They refused to listen to the Clintons about putting Osama bin Laden at the very top of their to-do list: result,9/11.They then went to war against Afghanistan-ok-and then invaded Irag. They then began the process of shredding our Constitution, and in “secret” policy meetings with the oil companies, established their energy policy. Back then, gas cost less than half of what it costs now. The list goes on and on. So please, for the good of our country, please rein in your anger about all this. And would it be too much to speak to each civilly?

Too funny. Voters think McCain looks old? Biden looks just as old. Obama still has his cult following of voters so he will still win whether anyone likes it or not, maybe not by a landslide but he will still win.

Biden point person on Iran and pakistan? This is the guy who said to focus on positions rather then people, now we got a pakistani parliament more then happy to let the Taliban roam free on the afghanistan border. Brilliant plan there Joe. Not to mention he was against labeling the revolutionary guards as a terrorist group, something supposedly Obama was for but didn’t vote on.
In fact Biden has had no ideas on either country. Instead of admitting he’s clueless all he’s done is rail against Bush and can’t get that right.
Biden’s only recent good claim on foreign policy is Russia-Georgia, where he mimicked not Obama, but McCain.

I love it! All the Dems have been putting down McCain’s academic record. Well here’s Biden’s.
1. Received F for plagerizing paper at Syracuse Law.
2. Grades were C’s and D’s (He got an A in phys Ed)
3. F in ROTC
4. He lied and said he graduated at the top of his class when he was 76 out of 85.
5. He lied and said he attended on a full scholarship, didn’t get one.
6. He lied and said he received 3 under grad degrees, he only got 1.
Let’s not forget the plagerized BIOGRAPHY speech about his father being a coal miner, in his run for pres in 1988.

I really don’t under why people are mad Mrs. Clinton isn’t getting the VP pick. Both Obama and Clinton have identical voting records. I think person most responsible for her not getting the position is Mr Clinton. Think about who in there right mind would want former President and his wife second guessing him all the time. BIDEN is the best possible choice this year for VP.

I am not falling in line behind Ibama because as Biden said during the debates
“He is not qualified”.
If you can’t believe Ibama’s VP pick, who you gonna believe?

Keith, actually if you check out the PUMA movement its more about the fact McCain is a better leader in their opinion then obama. its not about Hillary losing, its about the democratic party scheming (follow Pelosi’s money) against their best candidate just so they could give it to Obama.

There is no way in hell that this appointment will fly with us Hillary supporters. After Hillary received MORE POPULAR VOTES than Obama, HOW DARE HE not even consider her for VP? Instead, he picks an old grandpa that is a plagiarist, does not represent “change” (with over 35 years in the Senate), and is not committed to the Clinton mission that is the Democratic party’s essence. Screw this. I am going to vote for McCain, so Hillary can run in 2012. I hope Barack and Joe have fun on their magical mystery tour.

EVERYTHING is above KING OBAMA”s pay grade:
HE NEEDS Biden for that on the job training:

BIDEN stated that HE wanted to be on the McCLAIN ticket and NObama was NOT QUALIFIED !!!
WAY TO GO “THE ONE” NObama !!
Seal THE ONE NObama’s own fate by chosing Biden and HUMILIATING Hillary
BIDEN – 3 Electoral votes in an ALREADY DEEP BULE STATE!!
NObama: NO JUDGEMENT / NO TRUST to LEAD – esp. as USA President
PUMA – For McCLAIN’s Judgement and Honety

CINDY MCCAIN is NOT a PRESIDENTIAL candidate:
KING OBAMA IS::::
Stick to “reality” the facts:

BIDEN – Are you KIDDING ??
BIDEN stated that HE wanted to be on the McCLAIN ticket and NObama was NOT QUALIFIED !!!
WAY TO GO “THE ONE” NObama !!
Seal THE ONE NObama’s own fate by chosing Biden and HUMILIATING Hillary
BIDEN – 3 Electoral votes in an ALREADY DEEP BULE STATE!!
NObama: NO JUDGEMENT / NO TRUST to LEAD – esp. as USA President
PUMA – For McCLAIN’s Judgement and Honesty

STICK TO THE FACTS:
PERHAPS Cindy’ McCains, half sister, that her mother had out of wedlock:
wants to live in in peace and quiet
HER half sister is NOT running for office:
HER FATHER was NOT THE FATHER of her half sister:
HER HALF sister does not live in a HUT in a 3rd world country without clean water to drink
LIKE OBAMA’s half brother does

“if you’re going to bring up Tony Rezko, why don’t we bring up the Keating Five?
Posted by: David | Aug 23, 2008 2:18:11 AM”
Sure, The Keating Five is fair game.
The Special Prosecuter, a Democrat, exonerated McCain of any unethical activity.
Obama on the otherhand… well he does have that mansion. And Michelle does sit on the hospital board that received special funding pushed through the Illinois senate by Ibama and Rezco.

Keith, I’ll have you know that I support Hillary because of her executive leadership style and experience–something that Obama does not have. He only bothered to show up to the Senate for 143 days during his three years under the employ of Illinois. Prior to that, he voted on traffic appropriations in the State of Illinois, while Hillary has run a large portion of a major Arkansas law firm, has stewarded major initiatives at the state and national level, and worked FULL-TIME in her job as senator from NY. Similarly, McCain has an experience-rich resume…something we need in a crisis-filled world like ours. Obama thinks that pretty words and a pretty face qualify him for the presidency. If we can’t have Hillary–by far the most credible executive this year in the race–then McCain seems to be the second best choice.
McCain ’08! Clinton ’12!

Bless you, Hillary 08… what a wonderful post… thank you!

You are doing such a great job with that worthless talking point… Keppit up!!
“So Johnny, if the Mother Theresa question is “petty”, why did the McCain’s change their website regarding the issue?”
Keep harping on that “issue” as you watch your holy zero’s poll numbers continue to decline.
I am impressed that the McCains adopted from Mother Teresas orphanage. The details of the adoption are not important. McCain will win a lot of the Catholic vote with that charity.

Presumptive first lady nominee Cindy McCain responded to a reporter’s question today about how many half-sisters she had by saying that she was “unsure” about the exact number but would have “a staff member look into it.”
WTF!!??
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andy-borowitz/cindy-mccain-unsure-how-m_b_120679.html
Thank God for their staff!!

Hillary08–get your head out of the sand. Obama merely patronized us — so we would “get on board” — when he lied and said that “Hillary would be on anyone’s short list.” She was never even vetted. All he wants is our votes, and he thinks he is entitled to them. He’s not actually concerned about the many people who supported Hillary — just saying and doing whatever he thinks is required to win those people over, even if it’s vaporware.

“Zaggs.. the story about Cindy deciding to adopt the child after meeting Mother Theresa was on the McCain’s website in the “About Cindy” section… and it was changed within hours of the true story emerging…”
So??? The McCains adopted a little girl from Mother Teresas orphanage. Try as you might, you just are not going to be able to turn that into a negative.
Keep highlighting the McCain’s charity, because it show how Ibama is just ALL WORDS and NO ACTION when it comes to charity.

HRC was vetted. Turns out she is 22 million dollars in debt. She can’t pay her bills!! Who the hell would want a broke ass VP?

All the Repubs are getting their smear machines going, and it won’t have an effect. Get ready to take this one up the butt, red-staters!

Keith– “What “executive leadership” experience does Hillary Clinton have”
1- Partner at Rose Law Firm, where she managed 20% of the firm, revenues, and client portfolio
2- Leader of Arkansas educational initiative — pushed ARkansas up 10 notches in the national rankings
3- International leadership on women’s rights issues in 3rd world countries
4- A *FULL-TIME* Senator for 6.5 years from NY
Now…what does Obama have?

VERY fair for Cindy McCain not to know how many “half siters / siblings” she has:
her mother had at least one child out of wedlock :
EVEN YOU DO NOT KNOW how many possible half brothers and sisters YOU have stashed away somewhere:
THE BOTTOM line is OBAMA visited brother GEORGE when he was writing his book and KNEW about his life of dire poverty and did not send him a dime:

TWO ULTRA LIBERALS:OBAMA/BIDEN….
I WONDER IF THE DEMOCRATS WILL
EVER LEARN……….
NO LIBERAL EVER WON THE WHITE HOUSE……

Obama had fund raisers for HRC. He can’t help if his supporters didn’t want to contribute. If she hadn’t ran soooooooooo many negative ads about him, chances are, she wouldn’t be that deep in debt.

Hacienda,
The Obamas both gave the maximum amount to Hillary’s campaign… and he urged all of his supporters to do the same… what more would you have him do? Vote for McCain?
Seriously… in what possible scenario can you imagine turning this country over to McCain being in line with Hillary Clinton’s wishes? And what guarantee do you have that whomever McCain chooses as his running mate won’t take over midterm and run in 2012 as an incumbent… you’re rolling the dice with everyone else’s lives… how can you live with that?

Ever heard of Bill Clinton?

Zaggs,
You just proved my point… Thanks…
version “A” clearly states that “Mother Theresa convinced Cindy”, etc… and the version that exists now removed all reference to Mother Theresa “convincing” her…
First of all, I never claimed that there was a direct quote of her saying she had met Mother Theresa there, although according to the Monitor, it is a claim she has made or insinuated more than once…
Second of all, thanks for proving that the McCain website was hastily changed as soon as the Monitor story emerged…
Why do you think they changed it, and why didn’t they change it before?

Hacienda76
And still she lost! Why do you suppose that was?

“Had we not Invaded Iraq in the 1st place, would we be talking about a BTW… why did we invade Iraq? Before the invasion can ANYONE name an Iraqi who ever killed an American?”
Posted by: David | Aug 23, 2008 2:48:32 AM
That was a Democratic talking point for the ’04 election. Guess what? THE DEMS LOST THAT ONE.
So feel free to take up losing talking points.

roxanne.
Bill Clinton was centrist……

BTW, I thought it was weak when Obama removed criticism of the surge from his website… anything else?

Roxanne: Hillary lost because the media was stacked against her, because the narrative very early on became “Florida and Michigan don’t count” (though suddenly, they did once Obama had a lead in delegates). Most important, and most sadly, she lost because it became “cool” to be for Obama — after all, who doesn’t want to believe that “we are the change that will change the world”? But when you ask people what this “change” actually entails, they don’t know.
Sadly, people opted for a cool brand over seasoned executive leadership style. Hopefully, they won’t make the same mistake in November.
McCain ’08! Clinton ’12!

Keith, once again I exposed you as a liar. Cindy McCain never made that claim. The “retelling” your article refers to also does not say Cindy retold the story. It says it was retold by media, not by Cindy (you did read your article right?).
Why did they not change it before, probably because neither Cindy nor John nor anyone close to them reads their bios online.
As I noted Obama had that Iraq was involved in a civil war on his website long after any sane person could come close to making that claim. Why was it not changed to match the facts (the change came only last month)?
Perhaps campaigns don’t pay attention to their websites, or are you now going to rail against obama for what you should term (going by your own standards) as lying?

Keith, Hillary can unseat either Joe Lieberman or Mitt Romney in 2012. Probably with 350+ electoral votes. If McCain resigns, she will have any of McCain’s potential veeps on a silver platter. So it will only be a four year thing. But both of those people have more executive leadership experience than Obama.
McCain ’08! Clinton ’12!

lol, David… I saw that too… 72 year old man with 92 year old grandma… that’s gotta be some kind of record!

“Hacienda, What happens when McCain resigns for “health reasons”"
“McCains MOTHER is going strong at ’92. I see no reason why McCain will have failing health.
McCain survived 5 plus years of torture as a POW. He can manage 4 years as POTUS.
Ibama on the other hand cries to the Mayo Clinic because he has a boo boo on his hip.
Ibama is the fragile one. Not McCain”
Well you got me on one. FEEL BETTER NOW??? I was thinking of my grandmother who is 92.

As I stated before, if Obama has scrubbed his website without explaining why he did so, that’s weak…where did I say Obama is perfect?
I think it’s interesting though that you appear to think the McCain website scrubbing was perfectly legitimate and understandable, and don’t criticize it at all, yet for some reason you’ve been breathlessly scouring the internets for instances of Obama doing so… I suppose there’s no chance of a reasonable explanation for any of those though, right?
Nice consistency…

You said Marxist. Hah.

Ummm… he CAUSED the Forrestal fire…

Hacienda,
How can you vote for someone who thinks Iraq borders Afghanistan?
And the you’ll vote for someone who thinks a 9 year old girl reading a poem is sniper fire…

Keith–I guess I can overlook those things when I compare them to Obama’s other intellectual deficiencies, which would impair his judgment and executive leadership capabilities:
· Last May, he claimed that Kansas tornadoes killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.
· Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
· Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.” Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965.

Hacienda,
You haven’t addressed how you’re able to overlook the fact that Hillary Clinton has endorsed Barack Obama and urged her supporters (presumably you) to vote for him…
I originally backed Wes Clark for president… when he decided not to run and endorsed Hillary Clinton, my logic was, if I trusted Wes to be president, why not trust his judgment as to who ELSE should be president if not him… and I voted for Hillary in the California primary… she lost my support when she started favorably comparing McCain’s experience to even her own… but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re planning on voting for the person who’s been doing everything in his power to undo what she and her husband have spent their lives working for on the off chance that we’ll tread water for 4 years and she’ll be magically elected…
I’m sorry, you seem like a really smart individual, but that’s just insane… and in no way reflective of your support of Hillary Clinton…

So you agree that a vote for McCain is spitting in the face of everything the Clintons stand for, but in honor of her, you’re going to vote for McCain on the off chance that he’ll just tread water for 4 years? He won’t appoint 2, possibly 3 more Roberts or Alito’s or Saclia’s? Won’t get us entangled in more and more horrific wars?
What guarantee do you even have that she’d be the nominee in 2012? What if another Democrat beats her again? You could find yourself voting Republican for quite a while…
I hope you’ll reconsider… I sincerely do…

i’ve lost all faith in humanity.
so…many…idiots….i can’t take it, my head is going to explode…

I MIGHT reconsider. It actually pains me to think about voting Republican this year. It would be my first time voting Republican for president. I was very excited about the prospect of voting for the Democrats, with Hillary at the top of the ticket. But I have yet to see Obama paint the vision for his judgment, competence, and executive leadership style (which I saw from Hillary, and, to a lesser extent, McCain). I have heard a lot about “change” (don’t know what that means) and houses from Obama. This year, judgment and leadership trump ideology, though, and Obama has not yet presented himself as a credible executive. Btw, I live in swing state Virginia — this is what is holding him back there among other people I talk to in our state.

A drama worth nothing – It’s been Joe all the time, why did Obama turn up so much heat? This is indeed an ego-centric man — he wants all the light on him by faking the drama, yet, the reflection is not that good. The more Obama does this, the less respect I have for him.

You guys forget that Biden told everyone that the presidency is no learnon the job type of thing. Meaning that Barack Hussein Obama does not have any experience…
Obama just pissed off even more Hillary supporters by not even considering her…LOL good job dumbo!
Can you say Hillary in 2012?

ryan j – “nice pick – byebye mccain”? Surely you’re not serious. As a DC insider, Biden totally inverts Obama’s “Hope and Change” message.
keith – Why do you overlook Obama’s gaffes and sieze upon McCain’s? McCain no more believes that Afghanistan borders Iraq than Obama believes there are 57 states. They both make gaffes occasionally.
I think the public is realizing how empty Obama’s suit and dreams are. The election will not even be that close. The Dems found a way to blow another presidential election. Nice work, nutroots!

Biden, on a post-debate appearance on MSNBC, October 30, 2007: “The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain.”
Biden appearing on The Daily Show, August 2, 2005: “John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who…”
Let the landslide begin.

Gee… Obama picks the man who in the ABC debate says “Obama is not ready to be president.”
Love it..Biden an attack dog? Because Obama is soft so he needs someone who can actually man-up?
This is a gift to McCain, Thank you Obama for showing poor judgement yet again.
From a Pa. gun clinger who will switch over to McCain.

I can see the bumper stickers now:
Obama bin Biden

…it really is good isn’t it?
could kinda grow on you…Obama bin Biden…

I’ll bet John McCain had said “No thank you Mr Keating I don’t want your money”.

All Republicans have to say to Biden when he attacks McCain is:
“Senator Biden, didn’t you try to push a Kerry/McCain ticket in 2004?”
Why yes. Yes he did. hehehe

Man, I hear a lot of nervous rhetoric on here today. What a great ticket…Change and experience! These are two of the most intelligent people to ever grace Washington. Finally, the re-emergence of intelligence and integrity to the Whitehouse. Meet me at the inauguration.

Peach, find yourself some new material, and don’t forget to watch the Dream Team debut at 3PM ET today.

so much hate why? Obama/Biden is a far more appetizing ticket than McCain/Romney or should I say 4 more years of McSame/Cheney the average taxpayer can’t afford 4 more years of republican tax breaks and war mongering. It’s time to end the Iraq war and get the veterans the help that Bush promised them in 2004 “A Promised Made Is A Promise Kept” he lied just ask the 22,000 PDO discharges that were actually PTSD cases the Army didn’t want the VA to pay for, so much for caring for the troops, and where are the groups Vets for Freedom, Pete Hegseth and Eric Egland and “Troops Need You” on this issue “AWOL” they don’t care about the veterans of this war, just the fact that it keeps going, and Ari Fleischer and Freedoms Watch same thing keep the republican war machine in motion and keep raising the national debt and leave it to our grand children, whatever happeneed to paying for our wars as we fought them?
We can’t afford 4 more years of Republican leadership, this nation needs Obama/Biden
I am a disabled Infantryman who served from the Vietnam era to Desert Storm and 100% disabled by the VA I earned my opinion the old fashioned way, in uniform.

HAHAHAH well at least Obama will lose now, but at the end of the day we are gonna be stuck with another crappy politican in McCain…
Our poor country.

Ha Ha Ha! The Dems offer up an empty suit and a plagiarizing windbag.
I love it! This is a gift for the GOP.

“I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who…”
How does this quote end? What cheap political cra* to use half a sentence in a paid political ad…

If McCain picks Romney, Biden will get his behind thoroughly kicked. Biden is a Washington DC poser who will be hoist with his own petard. This has to be a Clinton sabotage scheme that has succeeded. Vote against the cheater/poser in ’08, for Hillary in ’12.

Sorry, but Politico gave CNN credit for pinning Biden as VP at around 12:40 am today. Secret Service leaks don’t and shouldn’t count.

Obama/Biden–The Democrats version of Bush/Cheney…
Arrogant,inexperienced presidential candidate propped up by an older, experienced attack dog.

except for the names,
Obama and Biden
could easily be confused with
Bush and Cheney!
NOW
MCCain and MITT….
soundz like M and M’s to me!

If Obama picks Biden then it’s game over for his Presidental campaign.
World events and the Republican media machine will leave Obama wondering why he didn’t do a deal and take Hillary Clinton on board. She is his only chance.
Omama can pack up and head back to Hawaii and save himself and his family the anguish and the agony of defeat of the coming months to the election.
