Really? After all this fanfare and buildup, Obama chooses Biden? You can hear the question marks going up all over the country, and the feeling of lackluster and letdown. No one will be overwhelmed with the wonderfulness of Biden. Its really not the smartest decision. Don’t get me wrong, I LIKE Biden. He’s a good guy and I think he’d do a good job as Vice President. However….as a campaign decision….not so great. Biden says too much. He’s beloved on the Sunday morning talk circuit for being easygoing, nice, and very smart. He makes a good soundbite. Problem is, he makes a good soundbite. Not always in a good way. He’s known for putting his foot in his mouth. And Biden won’t help with the electoral map. Obama already will carry the Northeast. Biden won’t help much with the south, short of being a white male. There’s a reason why he’s historically one of the first to drop out of presidential races–because as nice as he is, as smart as he is, he’s not a huge vote getter. So that leaves many feeling underwhelmed and scratching their heads. Biden? Really?? Comments3 Comments so far |

I so agree - the first thing I thought of was that they were certainly trying out a new strategy - leaving the south out, that is. And what IS it about a southerner that seems to be so attractive in the poiltical sphere? Could it be sincerity or perceived old fashioned (almost gentlemanly attributes)? I don’t know - I live in Arkansas - mother worked in Clinton’s Administration - but this year, voting McCain. Don’t trust Obama’s background and wife and don;t particularly warm to Biden….
The reason Bama decided to have a weak vice president run with him for office is really simple. After Bama f’s up this nation, biden will have his head up his @$$ not knowing what, why, or how to fix the big F boom.
I don’t see how you can not trust Obama’s background but at the same time trust McCain. Yes, in some ways Obama is an unknown, but we’ve gotten to know him quite well in this campaign.
As for McCain, the McCain that people used to know–the guy who was supposedly a maverick who’d go against his party on matters of principle–is gone. He’s now pandering to the same people he used to criticize, and he’s turned into a flip-flopping liar. After saying twice that he doesn’t understand the economy he started claiming that he’d never said that. After saying he’d run a clean campaign and not attack Obama’s patriotism he’s run a dirty campaign of personal attacks and accusing Obama of treason. Even McCain’s comments about Georgia are suspicious since his top advisor is a paid the Georgian government. Oh yeah, and how trustworthy is a guy who leaves his first wife when she’s in the hospital, and writes campaign finance laws to take advantage of his second, trophy wife’s CEO position at a beer company?
And WhoKnows, maybe you should look at how much Bush has already screwed up this country. I think Obama could do a lot to turn that around. McCain’s plan is just to push us further into the quagmire.
