VP candidates don't usually make or break campaigns. I can't help but wonder though, about this one being different. Biden's got a big mouth. He speaks his mind and I absolutely respect that even though I disagree with almost everything he says. He's a pistol. A blowhard. The opposite of Obama...who is reserved, elegant, well spoken (with flash cards of course)...I think Biden is going to prove to be an embarrassment to Obama. I really do. And this choice will come back to bite him. CT, you’re correct. VP candidates don’t usually make or break campaigns. I can’t help but wonder though, about this one being different.

And Biden spoke it perfectly. You cannot get it because you live it. And you're right about different ideas and opinions being okay...I'm all for it and read different thoughts all the time. I hear them on TV everytime I watch the news. The media does a great job at being fair and balanced...(NOT) It's okay so long as it's the same and we agree. When we don't agree, Republicans are bad, too. As is every idea, thought and opinion we have. So don't play that old game with me. Biden has said these statements before. Do I have source? No. But I have heard him on the news shows and he's one of those liberals who believe peons cannot and should not think for themselves. Oh wait...one of those liberals? How about ALL liberals. Dj,

Rarely, a poor VP pick can seriously damage the ticket (<em>e.g.</em> Thomas Eagleton), but Biden is not such a candidate, especially with the media covering his flanks, calling his verbosity and pomposity profundity, and deep-sixing his gaffes. Selecting Biden is mostly a reflection of internal Democratic politics, shoring up Obama's support with the Kennedy wing (and their deep pockets) while betting that Hillary and the vast majority of PUMAs will vote for him in the end, finding themselves constitutionally unable to vote for a Republican. Probably an accurate assessment, despite all the screams of anguish right now, especially if the McCain team continues to overplay their hand regarding Hillary. Overall, despite what I've been reading from most Republican commentators, I think Biden is a solid <strong>defensive</strong> pick for Obama; also, under media protection, Biden will be able to take some sharp shots at the Republican ticket with impunity.

Where do you think the blind sheepness of the Obamessiah comes from to begin with? I fail to see the connection of following his holiness to the ability of fifth graders to ensure they won't become pregnant from a robust cucumber, and that's the most important thing taught in schools today, accoording to the NEA. The syntax as interpreted by Raven was absolutely as correct as your take. Had Biden meant what you interpreted from his comment, he could have so stated that instead of the ambiguous garbage he did.
