American Presidency: It's a beautiful day - Obama & Biden together at last
Posts
So, lots of experience is a bad thing? Got it.
But if Obama isn't ready to lead, and Biden is past being ready to lead, then who the fuck is ready to lead?
An American hero, that's who!

Biden isn't my first or second pick, but he's probably the safest pick, and perhaps the most entertaining. Obama is smart.
Plus, if McCain chooses Romney, there's going to be quite a number of YouTube clips of nasty things being said between them in the Republican debates. This is the risk of choosing a primary contender as running mate.
No, I think the moderate voter will view Biden as a solid choice because he's been entrenched in Washington for so long. The only harm he could possibly do is weaken the anti-government/change youth vote, but that won't happen since they either aren't going to vote or won't change over because McCain is ancient. It is a very safe and smart choice by Obama.
For the record, I don't think McCain will choose Romney. Doesn't make sense.
Wow.
I'm nodding my head to this post and realized I was agreeing with Peekingduck. Wonders of wonders. :P
Of course, but I think we need to think in terms of just how much damage the media can do if they set their mind to it.
I'm not pissing myself about it, and I really like the choice of Biden, but looking over all the angles this ticket can get hit from I think that could be one of the more insidious and hardest to counter. If Krauthammer or Scarborough get it in their head, like Fournier already has, that this shows Obama isn't really about change and blah blah blah, the W./Cheney ticket is a potent shorthand for that idea.
We are in an election in which Obama and Biden are running against John McCain.
It could have been a Hilary/Giuliani election.
I find The People to be at least moderately trustworthy.
I heard Carney. I may be wrong.
Carney, the Lieutenant Governor? According to his Wikipedia page, he's running for Governor.
Edit: Horrible TOTP.
If he gets VP, the Governor will appoint someone until they can have a special election.
I thought it was frowned upon though since isn't it against the law to work for two different branches of government at the same time?
He wouldn't be. He'd be VP and the Governor would appoint someone else to be Senator until the next election. What this does is give him the ability to stay in the Senate if Satan rises to earth and makes McCain win.

4:45 in.
You can't hold positions in two branches of government at the same time, but you can run for them. He's currently a Senator, and would remain so during the campaign and after the vote until January. He can win both races and then resign as Senator before he is sworn in as VP.
I know he wouldn't be, but I thought it was normally frowned upon for that reasoning.
Not according to Cheney.
It's such a simple epiphany, but oh my God. Democracy is fucking awesome.
I'm pretty sure it will.
I remember the night of Indiana/North Carolina pretty fondly.
The night of the election 2006 was one of the best times I've ever had on the forum, and was amazing just on it's own merits. This has the potential to be so much better.
'a boob maiden'
Democrats are corrupting our youth
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He was down the whole night. But the votes in Northern Virginia were the last to be counted, so as we went from 75% precincts reporting towards 100% he just kept making up more and more ground until he took the lead with like 5% of precincts left. And it turns out Webb is an awesome senator, so double yay.
Really now, who dresses their daughter up like her doll? No wonder she's crying.
Where have you been!
That poor girl has to poop really bad, and it's not right to make fun of her for having to hold back the biggest dook she's ever going to release in her young life.
Look at the boy's facial expression. I bet he's the one Rick takes out his frustration on.
Now that's ambiguous.
didn't I tell ya months ago Biden would be a fantastic running mate choice?
It does have kind of a creepy mental illness quality.
