Veep Thread 1

Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 5:13:27 pm PDT

What the heck, we’re all waiting on tenterhooks for Barack Obama to announce his running mate (I know I can hardly stand the suspense), so here’s an open thread for predictions, venting, and persiflage.

P.S. You may notice I’ve rounded off the corners on a lot of our boxes and widgets, if you’re using Safari or Firefox. If you’re still on the Internet Explorer mainline, you’re stuck in Squaresville until Gates catches up with CSS 3.

UPDATE at 8/22/08 5:25:21 pm:

If you browse to a page at the official Obama site that doesn’t exist (for example, this one), you get a wonderful logo that could serve as the metaphor for Barack Obama’s whole foreign policy:

Notice that the magnifying glass is trained on the American flag part of Obama’s logo. Rich with symbolism.

UPDATE at 8/22/08 5:28:17 pm:

On Fox News, Laura Ingraham just announced that a private plane has landed in Delaware and there’s activity at the home of Joe Biden.

Is the plane already on its way? Steve Clemons of the New America Foundation and the Washington Note reports that a key Biden staffer has cut short his family vacation in Hawaii to return to D.C.:


Biden has a few people he's had around forever and some new additions to his insider crowd. Three of the best -- though there are more I won't mention -- are Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chief of Staff Antony Blinken, Senate Foreign Relations General Counsel Brian McKeon, and Senate Office Chief of Staff and former Biden presidential campaign director Luis Navarro.

Working Mother magazine -- the journal of record for juggling moms -- just commended Joe Biden and his staff with its "Best of Congress Award". And along with Biden's "family friendly" disposition with his office staff, he said "get out of here" to Foreign Relations Committee Chief of Staff Tony Blinken who went off to Hawaii to vacation with his family.

Blinken enjoyed the surf and sun for about two days -- and then guess what, he's back in D.C. I know that he would not be thrilled by my reporting this.

And some in the Foreign Relations Committee office in the Senate have said that I should not read anything in to his being back in Washington.

Right. . .

Stringing out the VP-choice announcement is a distraction.
Is anyone reporting ZerObama's comparison of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Russias invasion of Georgia? Or talking about ZerObama's $1 million dollar house? NOPE! Just "Who will the annointed ONE choose?"

NObama!

29 rightymouse  Fri, Aug 22, 2008 5:21:52pm

If Obama was smart (which he isn't), he should go with Sibelius to stave off the frothing Shrillery feminists at the Dem convention. Then we'd find out if they were really feminists or not.

Sigh. "Bayh" not "Baye". As long as its not me. Our next Veep should be able to spel.

The Obama campaign is playing the media like the starry-eyed groupies they are. Every cable news channel is doing minute-by-minute coverage of the fact that Obama still hasn't said anything.

And they all have their blackberries on vibrate, so when the word comes we should all watch for them to jump! Should be fun to watch.

From my point of view, Senator Joe Biden is an inspiring, experienced, over-the-top smart, fast-running boss who is a handful. He wrestles with ideas. He wrestles with his team. They knock him back. He knocks them back. He gives great zinger speeches and occasionally zinger gaffes. And they all laugh it off and move forward.

If it's a Bayh-genre VP, the tailspin that began a few weeks ago will simply continue and accelerate, perhaps with a short Convention reprise (perhaps; if the Lefy freaks don't pull a feces festival.

Obama is either a moron, or a socialist moron; his latest disgrace is lauding the ChiComs for being "vastly" more advanced than us in infrastructure.

re: #206 tokyobk

Yes, and he does provide experience and knowledge and also would show that Obama is not a fraid to have someone with experience next to him.

It would be a good choice for Obama.

I don't agree. I think that Biden was the least offensive of all the Democratic candidates for President (a more pathetic endorsement I could not make). But he's a lousy choice for Vice President. Like Obama, he's a legislator, not an executive. Like Obama, he's a man, not a woman (hell hath no fury etc.). He needs to follow through with the narrative of his candidacy: change (i.e. choose a running mate other than an old, white male).

And they can't claim that it brings experience, because with Obama, they're saying expereince isn't necessary.

What am I saying? Of course they can contradict themselves and boldly have a double standard:

McCain = old = bad,
but Biden = old = experience = good.

I think I have a little bit different take on why Obama has been putting this off for so long and isn't ready to announce yet. I've been thinking for a couple of days now that he may actually be having trouble getting someone to agree to run with him. He's made a lot of enemies among the other candidates. And if he loses it will be political suicide for any newcomer who runs for the VP slot. Bayh, for example, would lose all further hope of national executive office.

Report from the other side I

Before I left work today, I asked a co-worker, a real Daily-Kos-reading moonbat, if he had given his cell phone number to be notified when the 0 picks is VP candidate. He, of course, had. No news yet.
Anyway, this got him talking about McCain's "gaffes", and another moonbat joined in.
I couldn't hang around, or my brain would implode, but here are some observations:
One, they don't believe the polls, and think 0bama is doing better than shown.
Second, they think debates will actually help their candidate. No comment on the forum last weekend. Or maybe not, because they went on how if debates really made a difference, Kerry would have won, because he did better than Bush. I really wonder what planet they're from, but given they have or had rock bands, I wonder how much the drugs did to them.

Anyway, they don't seem to realize that I think 0 is a danger to the country and shouldn't be in office at all, so they kept talking and said more than I wanted to hear. My ability to not scream at them was limited, and it was late, so I left to save my sanity.

However, over the next few months, I'll give further reports, but not so many that I risk my sanity. I hope to have a final report on how moonbats deal with the McCain landslide, including the sound exploding moonbat heads makes.

re: #272 galloping granny

I think I have a little bit different take on why Obama has been putting this off for so long and isn't ready to announce yet. I've been thinking for a couple of days now that he may actually be having trouble getting someone to agree to run with him. He's made a lot of enemies among the other candidates. And if he loses it will be political suicide for any newcomer who runs for the VP slot. Bayh, for example, would lose all further hope of national executive office.

The moonbats at work think the announcement was delayed to give 0bama more time to talk about McCain not knowing how many houses he has. Seems not that likely. I wonder if the potential VPs are deserting the 0bamatitanic now that it is sinking in the polls.

Biden is so "retro". Everytime I watch/listen to him speak I'm reminded of the Austin Powers movie.
Except Joe is so..."70's". And he has the demeanor of one the "Saturday Night Live" crowd used to love to goof on ! Seems like an odd pick - like picking ones uncle for the "gravitas" angle - "OK, I'm young and inexperienced but my uncle Joe will be right here with me in case I make a mistake".

Cool.

Then if he does or says anything stupid, the LLL can claim he is a secret Bush agent.

Biden? I was watching his YouTube debate videos. On the surface, he's good, but there's buffoonery under the surface.

I think a Biden pick promotes Romney; with Bayh, Pawlenty's blandness wouldn't be as glaring.

Some goes for HRC: Pawlenty just doesn't have the gravitas of Romney.

I cannot believe that this is being dragged out so long, but feel that it can only hurt Hussein, happily.

Friday night, Saturday and Sunday are not exactly days to announce a VP candidate...is he scared of Shrillary? If so? It looks like a dream come true.

A permanent rupture among the Demonrats that will still be going long after McCain is sworn in as President.

The Demonrats remind me of a group of spoiled brats....everything is me, me, me'. And also, they are throwing a tantrum of titanic proportions!

And what, exactly, will the not so super delegates do?

Seriously, I think it's going to be Biden, folks. And between the two of them--the style of their off-the-teleprompter meanderings will drive everyone in this country within earshot--NUTS. Has anyone actually tried to follow that halting, pause-laden, strangely accentuated speaking style of Obama--or stayed away long enough to finally hear the shaggy dog punchline from Biden? Gack. (It reminds me of Hitchhikekr's Guide to the Universe when people died from the excruciating agony of listening to some alien race's poetry.)

It's that Edwards guy from Texas. Seriously. Think about it - they need someone w/experience (he's been in Congress a while) who won't overshadow BO (have you ever heard of him?). He's the perfect choice - if you're a committee doing polling groups rather than actually trying to lead.

XII Amendment
.... . But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

XXII Amendment
Section 1
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. ....

XXV Amendment
Section 1
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

Section 2
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress
....

As I read this it is possible to be elected Vice President an infinite number of times but only serve as President for a Maximum of 10-12 years. So two things seem to be true.
1. Obama can serve for up to 10 years or more as he stated he would, if he is elected twice and then his succesor's VP dies in office and Obama gets selected by the new President and Congress after which the President who nominated him resigns. This is the Putin conspiracy fantasy and I want book , TV and movie rights.
2. Jimmy Carter can be elected Vice President.

465 ParisParamus  Fri, Aug 22, 2008 6:56:07pm

katemaclaren, I disagree. I think the people superficial enough to dig Obama will view Biden as having gravitas; even if it's oldster gravitas; it will also reassure some HRC people; it's not going to get many current Obama supporters to flee for McCain; it might suppress voter turnout amongst the Dems, but overall, not a pick worse than anyone other than HRC.

Will Biden attract many people now leaning towards McCain? No, because he's still just the VP

Separately, I think one strategy will be to use Biden's experience to highlight Obama's inexperience.
