Why him?

Why? Because he chose someone who could help him WIN the election. He's a good choice; he balances Obama's youth and relative inexperience well, plus is well versed in foreign relations.

And not to offend Hiliary fans (although I'm sure I will), but I'm so glad he didn't choose her. She's too obsessed with her own importance.

Yes! Yes! Yes!!! Right on Meggysue! You sure know your Biden! I was HOPING Obama would choose him! That is (in my opinion) the smartest move he could have made! I am Sooo happy about this! Maybe there is hope for us after all.

Best choice he could have made. Now he will win. I've wanted to see Biden in the White House for a long time.

Sadly enough, it is possible that some would probably feel some sort of righteous indignation at the thought of a 'black' man being president and kill Obama just so that a 'white' guy can run the country.

I am not a Hillary supporter, but I am a women supporter. If it would have been up to me, he should have picked a woman (not Hillary) as his running mate.

That way those who would kill Obama would be equally as f**ked if not more so at the thought of having a woman run the country.

And what about all the radical and militant feminists who would REALLY rather see her as commander in chief, and recognize the fact that only one demonspawn male has to die in order for her to get the job?

If Hillary Clinton was chose as VP, it is not the 'radical feminists' B.O. would have to worry about. Nor would it be the racists...

If Hillary were one heartbeat away...'they' would take care of him.

I think this was a brilliant move by the Democrats. This will definitely boost Obama in the polls.

KerO & Hyper, your honesty makes me shudder.
These are scary times, but very dynamic, no?

I wasn't an Obama supporter, but he is going to win. So Biden's overall experience and foreign policy background are a comfort. Obama said that the VP will not play a minor role in his administration.

YAAAYYY!! I'm so excited. I really really like this guy. I wanted to vote for him after I saw him in the primary debates. You want to know when I first fell for this guy?
This is the moment:



Humor equals intelligence. You can't be funny and dumb.

I think it was the worst choice of all. Biden is a human gaffe machine. He has so much material that can be used against him.

Remember he's the guy that said this:

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy” speaking of obama

“you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” Not only was this an offensive line, it didn’t even make any sense.


He dropped out of the 1988 Democratic primary after he was accused of lifting sections of his stump speech about his humble origins from British Labor Party party leader Neil Kinnock.

etc.

Not a good choice if you ask me. The man has diarrhea of the mouth.

I couldn't be more pleased with this pick, unless of course it was Mike Gravel, but we all knew that wasn't going to happen.

Yeah he talks a lot, but most of it is pretty on point if you ask me.

I'm not saying the guy isn't smart. I'm saying he shoots his mouth off at inappropriate times and that could hurt obama's campaign

If he's smart, and campaigning with Obama, he should know when to shut up, but I suppose time will tell.

Everyone has skeletons in their closet. No ones perfect. Why is he perfect for Obama? Simple.
He has experience.
And personally I don't find the quotes you submitted very horrifying in the least. It proves he's human. We all say things we'll probably regret. Personally I prefer humans to robots.
