Good Lord. I can't stand Biden. This makes it easy.

Cali seems to think it is wonderful pick, but Obama could deficate in public and Cali would praise it as an amazingly timely expression of his unity with the common people, all of whom defecate as well.
The pick puzzles me. Very old school Democrat, absolutely no wow factor. Kind of like Bush picking Chaney, the second time. I think it is an expression of Obama's confidence that he has this thing wrapped up. Or that he has concerns about the base. Take your pick.

It is an interesting pick, one with possibility but one with potential for mistake. Biden has said some nice things about McCain and some not so nice things about Obama.

Surprised? I'm not.

I like Biden because he's entertaining. I would have hated to see Clinton on the ticket. It would have been unbeatable.

It's a good pick. Time will tell if it's good enough.

I like Biden overall, but I have a serious problem with what has to be one of the worst hair plug jobs on Capitol Hill, and that's saying something. If this comes down to a referendum on hair, Romney will kick Biden's ass.

Joe Biden: 35-year Senator, Change You Can Believe In.
Joe Biden: Not a crotchety white-hard old man like John McCain.

I think Biden will connect much better with the middle/independents, esp. among the more educated. Romney will use fear tactics and try to appeal to the poor disenfranchised angry white males. |
