Biden is an idiotic gaffe machine, but so is Obama. I'm thinking Obama picked Biden because he wanted a VP that made him look good by comparison. He may have succeeded.

It took all this time to find a plagiarizer with hair plugs?

What a gift to John McCain! Mr Gaffe Himself!

Joe's statements will come back to bite Obama in the butt.

Hee!

Apparently, to draw in the votes, Obama/Biden will hold their own version of this risque New Zealand parade!

Biden is a caricature of a leftist: A narcissist who is intoxicated with his own sanctimony. I suspect uber red diaper baby David Axelrod REALLY picked him.

Regarding Biden, most of Kos's posts are between luke-warm and ballistic.

Cool!

Let the gaffing commence.

But..but..but.... he has foreign policy experience.

and he was for the surge before Obama was against it!

Biden on Hillary:

“Are they going to turn to Hillary Clinton?” Biden asked, lowering his voice to a hush to explain why Mrs. Clinton won’t win the election.

“Everyone in the world knows her,” he said. “Her husband has used every single legitimate tool in his behalf to lock people in, shut people down. Legitimate. And she can’t break out of 30 percent for a choice for Democrats? Where do you want to be? Do you want to be in a place where 100 percent of the Democrats know you? They’ve looked at you for the last three years. And four out of 10 is the max you can get?”

[Link: 2008central.net...]

Obama picked the one person that will fire up the Hillary supporters. Gonna be fun to watch.

Since Biden never served in the military, but voted for the Iraq war, does that make him a "chicken hawk"?

re: #9 Noam Sayin'

It's almost like the democrats forgot how to elect a president.

The arrogance of the Democrat is that s/he assumes that their beliefs are the gold standard of human thinking and behavior. Therefore, anybody who does not Believe must be a delusional idiot, or evil.

“ …right and wrong
(Between whose endless jar justice resides)
Should lose their names, and so should justice too.
Then everything includes itself in power,
And appetite, and universal wolf,
So doubly seconded with will and power,
Must make perforce an universal prey,
And last eat up himself.”

Bayh would have been a perfect choice, actually, from the POV of the Obama machine. Moderate, consistent, uncommitted to the left/right split, is not a f-cking idiot when it comes to things like Iraq, looks relatively young (so you could play the "youth" angle to go along with Obamessiah being ze Germans' much-adored "bleck Che-Iff-Kay"), has the image of a classic blue collar for-the-working-man kind of dem, and on paper he's as Republican as McPain is Democrat.

I think Soros Puppetmasters LLC dropped the ball with this one, if Biden really is the choice.

Hint: Pick somebody with internally consistent beliefs next time. See you fuckers in 2012!

I would love to have heard the thinking that went into this decision.

Mr. McCain was certainly not my first choice, but tomorrow I'll be at the local campaign office volunteering my time - the first time I've ever done so for a candidate for anything.
I've worked full-time since I was 17 and I've saved so that one day I could retire - not so it could be taken from me and redistributed.

Hewitt, Medved, Laura, Rush, et. al., will have so much tape to run on the musings from this self-absorbed boor that additional narrative on his contradictory rants and ravings will not be necessary.

Barry is even less the empty suit for "change" than I could have ever imagined. Thanks to the "the one" for making such a conventional, losing, choice.

Lloyd Bentsen was a much a better choice for Dukakis, pity he was not available for the messiah. McGovern settled for Sargent Shriver, minus the Kennedyesque attraction. Still did not work. Won't work now. So much for the change we all have been waiting for.

Behold his mighty hand!

Thanks Barry. Best to you and My Belle. Cannot wait to see you lose in November. Biden has inspired me to work harder than ever to keep you and your baby-face in the greatest deliberative body. At least there your radical tendencies are mitigated by 49 others. With any luck you will drop into insignificance, where you belong.

Joe Biden is like Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in one body.

Here's a comment Biden once made about Obama.(spin off link this thread):

"… in order to look tough, he's undermined his ability to be tough, were he president. Because if you're going to go into Pakistan -- which is already our policy by the way, if there's actionable intelligence -- you need actionable intelligence from moderates within Pakistan working with you. Now if you're already going to say I'm going to disregard whatever the country thinks and going to invade, the likelihood you're getting the cooperation you need evaporates. It's a well intended notion he has, but it's a very naïve way of figuring out how you're going to conduct foreign policy."

Biden calls Obama's foreign policy "naive"! Sweet how this Internet thingy works!

A good friend of mine, who happens to be very liberal, told me that Democrats always find a way to lose.
Now I know what he's talking about.

One of my LLL friends has been quietly skeptical of the DNC's choice for quite a while, now.

Came a long way from having a Keith Ellison sign in the front yard.

re: #136 Cognito

Sounds likely. An AP story crossed the wire a little bit ago that quoted an anonymous Democratic staffer. But even still -- who cares? It's nothing, until Obama stands on the courthouse steps and speaketh the name.

If that's the reasoning, it's a major miscalculation, in my estimation.

If they now switch VPs on us at this stage, it will looks even more desperate, bizarre, and blundering. It will seem like they floated Biden as a trial balloon, and when the nutroots imploded with fury, Obama decided to pull the ol' switcheroo. No matter how he would spin it, that's how it would be perceived.

Hence, I think they've got to stick with Biden now. Sorta like Marisa Tomei and the Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

It's bad enough that Hillary has been upstaged by Obama, now she's been upstaged by Joe Biden!

There's only so much that the woman can take.

re: #163 zombie

This thread is on a roll!

Because lizards can cut the mustard.

One big problem for Obama with this pick is that Biden is another one with no executive management experience to speak of. He's been a senator for the large majority of his adult life. So that makes a filled-out ticket of two total non-executives running for our Chief Executive office.

Senators are talkers. They are the Advise and Consent branch and so their job is to talk, not to manage or to delegate on anywhere near a presidential scale. I don't trust senators to be the best quick, pragmatic executive responders to crises or complex, large-scale urgent issues that presidents must sometimes deal with. I must say that for these reasons, because he is a senator, I am still not all that happy with McCain as the top-of-the-ticket Republican.

My main hope now is that McCain picks a governor and not another senator.

It may be a miscalculation but it could be in Obama's favor if he spins it as "playing the media."

The one thing McCain has going for him is that he's one of the few Senators who is not a lawyer. I think that's one of the reasons the difference between him and The One was so stark at Saddleback last weekend.

Remember, the Senate is nicknamed "The World's Greatest Deliberative Body" or something like that. Or just another phrase for a whole lotta hot air!

re: #188 hermeneutics

Yes, I just read that tonight. I am not sure about it's authenticity, but it is fun to think it is true!

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if this isn’t actually some brilliantly crafted strategy. As long as the Democrats keep losing in close elections, they keep their base energized and in an uproar. They keep the campaign contributions coming in. If they take the House, Senate and White House, they have to start delivering on all the ‘stuff’ they promised. They can’t possibly be so stupid as not to realize the disastrous ramifications their policies would have on the economy, society, the entire freakin planet… So they run the vapid rock star, tick off the Hillary supporters and name Biden to VP, lose the election, rake in the bucks, and still maintain enough power to continue the slow slide towards socialism.
OK, that’s too diabolical even for them. I must need sleep.

re: #187 Slumbering Behemoth

I agree in many ways. The immediate question that comes to most of our minds is 'how can he be so stupid?'. But, as long as this is the word on the street, I am gonna dive into the deepend of this pool and have fun with it!

How interesting to learn that Biden hates McCain. Bob "Michelle Said 'Whitey' " Beckel. I am sure McCain finds it interesting also.

This has been the best veep rollout EVER. But alas, all good things must come to an end.

According to a campaign official, the plan is to send out the text message a few hours before Obama's 12pm CT event in Springfield.

Most everyone in the national press corps think that it's Joe Biden. But no one knows, and no one is willing to pull the trigger.

I can confirm reporting by NBC News that Gov. Tim Kaine's associates are saying that Obama did not choose him, although I don't have any first hand accounts.

Sources close to Biden and Bayh have been in lockdown mode.

And is there a better example than this that old media is getting left out in the cold?

Wolf Blitzer on the Situation Room begging viewers to stay tuned so CNN can bring them coverage of a text message.

Brilliant! We've got a lot of campaign a head of us, but this has been the Obama campaign's finest operation thus far.

Kos will be on a rampage tomorrow! Heads will roll!

Biden has wanted to become president and failed to gain any traction in that direction for as long as I can remember. In that regard, as a perennial presidential hopeful loser, he's not too far from Pat Paulsen territory, as far as I'm concerned.

re: #133 arizona9

It's on every news outlet in the world right now. If it's not true, the Obama camp would have said something by now.

The word is that even his handlers are sick of his narcissism and call him "ObaME" behind his back.

Are you sure this is done behind his back? I believe this is mandatory behavior and speech for the followers of the chosen One, he who was sent by Providence to redeem us. If you did not emphasize the Oba"me" as part of his manifest destiny, then you would be sent to a re-education camp.

Or to his magical 0-5 mandatory pre-school program for re-education.

Since Biden voted FOR the Iraq war, we can expect The One to start saying something like "I have consistently said that, had I been in the Senate at the time, I'm sure I would have voted alongside my good friend, Plugs Biden."

"Under the bus": official cliche of the 2008 campaign.

By the way,stupid Biden stuff is a dime a dozen. I 'm outta here with this one.:

"John doesn't have a record in the Senate. John's only passed four bills. They're all about post offices. I mean, literally," Biden said. He added, "most freshman senators don't get much done. Don't get much passed. Barack Obama hasn't passed any. There's not a major bill I know with Hillary's name on it."

re: #205 hermeneutics

Again, Obama can play this to his advantage if he appears to have fooled the MSM. So I'll wait 'til the mornin'. Not too long.

Obama wants to fool the MSM, think about what your saying?

CNN, NBC and the New York Times are all reporting that they have confirmed Biden's selection. ABC News has reported Secret Service agents have been dispatched to Biden's home. And the New York Times is reporting "a consensus within the party" that Biden has been selected.

An unbelievably beautiful night here in Minneapolis; cool air drifting through the porch windows, bringing with it the aroma of a neighbor's dying firepit. Traffic on the nearby highways dwindles as the occasional jake-braking semi accepts the calmer pace, Harleys making their homeward-bound presence known. Crickets chime in for last call on their nighly gang-bang in the cracks of the unwatered lawns. It's 2:00 am. A tired man casts a shadow slightly larger than his dog; sniffing for the latest news on the block. Prostitutes, hearing an imaginary whistle blow, talk of breakfast, drain plastic bottles of cheap rum, and wait for a taxi. Business winds up early tonight, signaling an early winter.

3. And...Do not turn your back on him!

Far from an altar call. I suspect that that those not following these divine directives will be the participants in the next battle with the Siberian Tigers and the warrior from Gaul.

I appreciate your sentiment and insight. You are on target. Just think of the divine "O" as Commodus and all will fall into place. "they will love me...", I will love them as my children..." etc.

Besides, she has a great opportunity to urge America to begin ANWR drilling if she remains in her seat in Alaska's statehouse, and continues to attract publicity there. She might be derailed from that very worthy focus as McCain's VP choice when so many other tasks would suddenly fill her plate. I look forward to her prime time convention speech.

So over on The One's web site, everyone is invited to send Joe a welcome note!

Lucky Joe! I wonder if he is thinking about backing out...

Biden fulfills just one criteria that I can see. He doesn't outshine Barack.

She's more than mediocre. She's got the highest approval rating of any governor in America at 90%, she's in favor of drilling in ANWAR, she's effectively fought corruption, she's got executive experience which no one else in the race has, and she brings in the female vote. That's not a mediocre choice that's the best choice McCain could make.
