Great video. This should get some good mileage.

Ouch!

Heh. This is too funny.

Brilliant!

That is just the tip of the iceberg.

Biden endorses McCain!
LMAO!

Biden could not possibly have been Obama's first choice. I wonder how far down he was on Obama's list.

That's gonna leave a mark.

Now, I'm sure Biden will issue a rebuttal explaining why the ad is all wrong. Should run about an hour and a half or so.

Wait for the Obama campaign to call this video racist, a smear, and a mischaracterization of Biden's position.

I can't get it to play.

I wonder how much tequila those 300 advisors drunk, to come up with this decision.

re: #7 Killgore Trout

Biden could not possibly have been Obama's first choice. I wonder how far down he was on Obama's list.

I think he wanted Kaine (Slingblade) but the polls from earlier this week which showed him getting spanked by McCain on foreign policy, experience/ready to lead & the economy scared him into changing his mind.

re: #7 Killgore Trout

Biden could not possibly have been Obama's first choice. I wonder how far down he was on Obama's list.

Don't you think that the Obama people knew that the had to find someone with even less gravitas than Obama, & this is the best that they could do?

Gee, you might get the impression they had anticipated all possibilities and had an ad for each ready to go. The McCain campaign has finally kicked the campaign wagon off the jacks and fired up a V8!

re: #9 lawhawk

Wait for the Obama campaign to call this video racist, a smear, and a mischaracterization of Biden's position.

The race card does not work so well anymore.

Blimey - I switch the PC on - get here, and two hot threads, one on the heel of the other, just like that!
I'm quite out of breath already ...

Good morning/afternoon/evening, Lizards, looks like its going to be a hot weekend (politics-wise, that is!).

Even the ap can't mask this:

Analysis: Biden pick shows lack of confidence

The candidate of change went with the status quo.

So the question is whether Biden's depth counters Obama's inexperience — or highlights it?

After all, Biden is anything but a change agent, having been in office longer than half of all Americans have been alive. Longer than McCain.

And he talks too much.

Is the msm-obama love affair over?

One advantage of living outside of USA, no political adverts, but boy they/Europe sure kick out the global warming message.

Terribly homesick.

Beautiful! And I like the smug Obama holding back the anger shots while Biden is declaring him "not ready"

Caroline Kennedy wanted to pick someone Uncle Teddy would approve of....they had similar college experiences that's for sure.

Uncle Ted got busted cheating in college.

Biden also got busted cheating in college.

PERFECT!

re: #13 opnion

Don't you think that the Obama people knew that the had to find someone with even less gravitas than Obama, & this is the best that they could do?

Nah. Obama is the biggest star they have. They could have picked anyone. They didn't. They picked Joe Biden...lmao.

"Okay... Pee-Wee Herman turned us down, and Lindsay Lohan is too stoned to say one way or the other... what about Biden? Is he still available?"

Wow with those quotes Biden comes off as far less stupid than I pegged him for.

re: #8 Occasional Reader

That's gonna leave a mark.

Now, I'm sure Biden will issue a rebuttal explaining why the ad is all wrong. Should run about an hour and a half or so.

I think their delayed announcement and 3 am text message shows the Obama campaign is not that organized. They might respond by late next week at best.

Gee, y'all sure are being hard on old Joe. And I don't see why. Obama couldn't have made a better VP choice for McCain's campaign than he did with Biden.
Course that could be cause Obama and Biden have so much in Common. Obama is "Black" and Biden thinks he's Black, fresh, articulate and clean and they both have a tendancy to shove their foot down their throats every chance they get!

Pretty good video. You could make a million videos of Biden. Hes a gaffe machine. It should be funny to see him debate Romney.

re: #24 Killgore Trout

I think their delayed announcement and 3 am text message shows the Obama campaign is not that organized. They might respond by late next week at best.

lol,
i am loving john mccain so much.
:D

Messiah/Hair Plugs '08 ?

Tip of the iceberg.

ROFLMAO FUNNY the timing of that ad priceless

Too funny. I wonder if some that Obama would have preferred backed out because they sense a McGovern-sized ass-whipping coming in November. Biden is pretty much the biggest windbag in the senate- don't see how he can help the ticket all that much.

re: #22 Occasional Reader

"Okay... Pee-Wee Herman turned us down, and Lindsay Lohan is too stoned to say one way or the other... what about Biden? Is he still available?"

Probably, they all got coked up(Barry's drug of choice) & threw Biden out as a joke. Obama took em serious & went ahead.
Oh, dude!

Ah, the DSCC has issued a statement, courtesy of Harry Reid:

Today is a great day for Democrats. We now have the ticket that's going to bring the change we've all been hoping for.

I join all of the members of the Senate Democratic caucus in congratulating Joe Biden - a great friend, a great Democrat, and now our party's nominee for Vice President.

This campaign is going to make history. Not only will we put Barack Obama and his running mate, Joe Biden, into the White House, but we're going to elect a filibuster-proof Senate majority that can and will pass the Democratic agenda.

This is the once-in-a-generation chance we've been waiting for.

Click here to join me in congratulating Joe Biden on entering this historic campaign and share with him the issues that are important to you.

Our party has never been more energized or more dedicated. Across the country, we have set records for voter registration and primary participation. In just a matter of hours, we'll gather in Denver for a Democratic convention that will demonstrate our amazing and growing strength for the final stretch before Election Day.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden are on a path to bring sweeping change to this great country. Each and every committed Democrat stands proudly with them today and right on through Election Day. Together, we will take back the White House and elect the filibuster-proof Senate majority we need to bring that change.

Join me in making our success possible.

Sincerely,

Harry Reid

Sweeping change. Socialism.

You know something else? Biden is up for reelection this year. Is he going to pull a Lieberman and try to retain his seat, or is he going to go whole hog for the Obama ticket?

Although the ad is effective, McCain needs to continuously hammer home his policy on energy, Iran, etc., and remind voters the consequences of an Obama Presidency. McCain needs to define Obama before Obama define McCain.

More bad news for obama:

In Key Decisions, Voters Would Prefer McCain's Advice

These undecided voters will likely determine the presidential election outcome. So what do they feel in their guts about the two candidates? The FOX News poll tried to get at that question by asking: If you had to make the “toughest decision” of your life, who would you rather get advice from — Obama or McCain?

Based on that question, there are signs that undecided voters may be more inclined to move to McCain than to Obama. The largest number of undecideds – 38 percent – would rather get advice from McCain – that’s nearly three times as many as the 13 percent that would go to Obama. The remaining say “neither” (27 percent) or are unsure (18 percent).

Furthermore, independent voters pick McCain by a 15-point margin (41 percent – 26 percent).

I just don't see Biden as the guy who can turn this around for obama.

re: #27 SpartanWoman

Yup, the suckers who signed up for that got nothing in return for endless solicitations.

So, really, the dems are going to gather on Monday, and vote for Obama for President, and Biden for his Vice President?

Let's just ask, hypothetically, who would Hillary choose for veep, let's say excluding Obama.

speaking of Caroline Kennedy...just goes to show she was in over her head. What is the world are they thinking? He had to be the 2nd or 3rd choice. Probably why it took so long to get out the message. Can't think Biden really wants to be a followup to Obama.

And what's with the "OJ car chasing heliocopter" to follow Biden to the airport?
Good grief!

re: #73 Occasional Reader

oops.

re: #57 Who Watches the Watchmen?

The thing about Bush is he knew where he was weak, his pick filled in those spots.

Obama doesn't think he is weak in any area, so he picks according to the strongest line of criticism.

Leaders drive the issue, the discussion. Obama is reacting.
Not a good sign.

You know what this is going to do? I future Dem primary debates they will have to tie themselves in knots. fun!

At what point did the Obama campaign label Biden a racist?

During a conversation with an Indian-American political activist, Biden said: "In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian-Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking."

Dr. Raghavendra Vijayanagar, popularly known in the Indian-American community as "Dr. Vijay," said this isn't the first time a Senate Democrat has insulted Indian-Americans.

"In 2004, Sen. John Kerry referred to Sikhs as terrorists and Sen. Hillary Clinton jokingly referred to Mahatma Gandhi as a gas station owner," Dr. Vijay said. "A clear double-standard in the mainstream media will likely ensure Sen. Biden gets a pass over these comments that would get a Republican in deep trouble if he ever made a similar statement.”

Vote Democratic...We're Not Racist...You Are!

re: #71 SpartanWoman

Right, there is so much there. It is just interesting that Obama has such thin skin when he is mocked, when he was schooled in mocking opponents.

re: #73 Occasional Reader

Hopefully McCain is smart enough to not pick a VP who might have said similar things about McCain. That ad is short and to the point.

Looks like Obama didn't get Michael Moore's memo on who to pick for VP. Poor bag of buzzard entrails must be disappointed.

After all, he did put resources into Saakashvili's Rose Revolution ...
(Putin better watch out.)

Soros probably also saw the signs about his BO not getting any traction and probably cut his losses early. He's a businessman, after all, looking mainly after himself

We've actually been cheering, partying, carrying on
discussing this since about 11:00 Pacific time!

Obama's campaign somehow lost control of the release of Biden's name - that or they were afraid that if Biden had enough time to think about it, he'd refuse it - and so it came out at about the worst possible time for a news cycle!
And the end result was WE at LGF knew about this before those dunces with their text messaging (and giving Obama their credit card numbers!) found out about it! LOL!

Biden’s lobbying ties

(Via Hot Air)

Biden has accepted $5,133,072 in contributions from lawyers and lobbyists since 2003. Obama does not accept contributions from federally registered lobbyists.
And he has one other weakness that hasn’t received much attention to date. One of Biden’s sons, Hunter, is a registered Washington lobbyist in a year in which Obama has been excoriating lobbyists and the culture of corruption in Washington. The younger Biden is a name partner at the firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair, LLP, and seems to have specialized in lobbying for just the kind of earmark spending by Congress that Obama has vowed to slash. Republican insiders say the party is likely to make an issue of Biden’s family lobbying ties.
Also expect to hear more about Biden’s close ties with credit card companies. His largest contributor (based on total contributions by employees) over the past five years has been MBNA, the Delaware-based bank aquired in 2005 by Bank of America than until then was the world’s largest independent credit card issuer and a major supporter of the 2005 bankruptcy bill that Biden crossed the aisle to support.

Oh, my wife just closed on our Las Vegas compound yesterday (1500 sf condo). Now we have the North Carolina compound (1700 sf) and our Las Vegas compound. Far as I know, neither of us were on anybody's short list for VP. What gives? Am I not in the ruling class?!?

re: #133 Beach Lover

Good question.....
McCain, Romney take new stands on McCain, Romney

To McCain, Romney was the guy who took “at least two positions on every issue,” a manager rather than a leader. During their fierce primary contest in Florida, McCain demanded Romney apologize to U.S. troops for once suggesting that American and Iraqi leaders should discuss “timetables and benchmarks” for withdrawal from Iraq, which McCain charged “would have led to a victory by Al Qaeda.”

Romney called McCain “dishonest” and warned that the Republican Party wasn’t ready “to take as dramatic a departure from the house that Reagan built” as they would if they embraced McCain.

re: #138 loppyd

he called him - or something he said - dishonest. about a timetable to withdraw from Iraq.

He also mocked McCain for his comments about not being an economist or something like that.

You know, anything that helps you feel better about McCain's chances has to be good, right?

Be honest. The only rational attacks against Obama so far have bounced right off of him in the eyes of people who don't visit sites like this. Biden is the only shot you've got at dragging them both down.

More on Biden's thoughts on obama:

While preparing for his own run at the party’s nomination last year, he took several shots at Obama’s inexperience, warning that “if the Democrats think we’re going to be able to nominate someone who can win without that person being able to table unimpeachable credentials on national security and foreign policy, I think we’re making a tragic mistake.”

Heh.

Funny - Bill Clinton impersonator shouting at Biden for an anti-Obama remark on Don Imus:

Geez, all the Hype for weeks and week on what the VP pick of Obama would be. This has to be the fastest let down over something being hyped, since the excitement over the two guys who faked the Bigfoot in a freezer story last week that turned out to be a rubber suit - which come to think of it, is the exact same thing as Obama's choice for VP. Well, except for renaming Biden to Bigmouth, instead of Bigfoot.

Still just an empty suit

re: #152 Canadian Guy

He also mocked McCain for his comments about not being an economist or something like that.

but did he ever suggest that McCain pick say John Kerry to be his VP?

I figured a Biden addition would guarantee a Jackass loss this year. B-HO couldn't have made a better pick, IMO.

Probably wasn't B-HO. Looks like Soros' work, actually. Someone to keep B-HO in line, IF he were to become POTUS. I really think B-HO is going to end up as an election trivial pursuit answer now. I have confidence!

Obama's response to accusations of being elitist? Choosing a running mate who is even more elitist.

If Biden was not obama's first pick for veep, I wonder who had the audacity to turn him down.

re: #135 apb1

That (the naming of one's children as successors to political posts) seems to be the rule for LLL politicos. Its the same here in the UK - and they get the cushiest jobs at an early age, without ever, once, having to do proper work like ordinary people.

The Left regards themselves not just as the ruling class, but as the mdoern equivalent to the old, feudal aristocracy.
Disgusting, truly disgusting.

re: #153 chris joseph

Er, in the vacant eyes of true believers. It's tough trying to discount the true equivocating of Obomber (US=Russia, China's infrastructure RULES), his incompetence off the teleprompter, his quick-draw to surrender without understanding what's really going on, his odious nature in wanting to negotiate with terror leaders. That's not attack - that's his nature, and there's plenty not to like.

I've just updated my bumper sticker concept.

Obama pulling out of red states

Via Hot Air - check out the photo then the caption. LOL

Barack Obama bragged that he would compete for votes in all 50 states against John McCain, and his fundraising numbers certainly gave the impression that he had the resources to do it. Yesterday, though, Obama’s campaign abruptly suspended their advertising in several red states, including Georgia, which Team Obama had specifically spotlighted earlier as a possible takeaway:

re: #124 Killgore Trout

Heh. That first one is pretty damn good.

He was terribly prescient about the utter futility of "surging" more troops into Iraq, wasn't he?

re: #119 realwest

I really find it hard to believe that Biden was their first choice and I wonder if there could possibly have been offers made that were refused. If that's the case, it really doesn't bode well for the Dems.

O - The plan: Ok, I work the rallys and talk about hope and change and er, change and hope and you work the cable news circuit cause I can't go on Fox and uh I also need you to explain what I stand for...

The Jackass Convention in Denver is going to be sooooo much fun to watch! Now that the Pantsuit has officially been dissed, look for some shenanagins from her and the Bill in Denver. Between whatever she has up her sleeve, and the whackos, hippies and crackpots swirling around Denver, this will be very interesting to watch!

Meanwhile, the adults (Republicans) will be in great shape.

re: #126 SpartanWoman

As someone pointed out earlier 1am est is the time you announce your indictment not your VP pick!

ROTFLMAO! I honestly don't understand this timing of the announcement of Biden being the VP candidate (unless Hillary changes everything at the convention). And if anything, Obama - by picking Biden - is gonna get a lot of questions along these lines "Senator Obama, what do you have to say about your running mate's comments on ............[fill in the gaffe of your choice]!

re: #134 pingjockey

But the Bush and Kennedy clans had money before they went in to politics. I wonder where the Biden money came from. Was he wealthy before he was elected to the Senate....and I think that was about a hundred years ago?

Fox's mocking coverage of the "Biden Watch" is hillarious!

lmao, the look on the Obama's s'mug, like he's either ready to splode or cry, possibly both.Given the timliness of this ad, does anyone think McCain was lurking outside the "cone of silence?"

This may work to their advantage. Since Biden implied that the Dems need to pick somebody with foreign policy experience, and we know Joe lied about plagerizing that speach in 1988, well, Obama can just say... "See, Joe is a lier, he really didn't mean that I had not foreign policy experience..."

I should be a campaign advisor.

re: #166 loppyd

I think they'll add another five or six to that (Oklahoma and others). Obama won't lower himself to visit these states - in his mind, they simply don't count. Damn straight he's an elitist! I bet he can not find them on a map without an adult pointing them out to him.

Of course, now that American troops actually are being drawn down in Iraq, they'll just claim "see? We were right all along!".

Oy, this is going to be ugly. When will McCain come out with the 'Clean and Articulate' advertisement? That one ought to have most Americans in stitches.

re: #206 SpartanWoman

McCain definitely is NOT sleeping on the job here!

re: #206 SpartanWoman

Yes, I figured, should've added the sarc tag.

The narrator of this ad, which is approved by MCCain, is the same narrator as the Ayers ad, which wasn't approved by him. For whatever it's worth, I just thought that is interesting to note. Seems like the Dems could make the connection, and claim that McCain is actually behind the ads he doesn't approve of. As I said in an earlier post, the ads are great but I think the voice is weak. He sounds like he's out of breath. I wish they had picked someone with a more forceful voice.

I think Mitt Romney was pretty kind to McCain in the debates, but dont rememebr if there is any ad material as rich as Biden's blowhard statements.

Romney's chances just went down, although he would do fnatastic against Biden and would be a pretty good Prez too. McCain can put down the change/outsider tlowey Obama nonsense here easily with a smart VP pic.

Obama let Biden off the hook for that one. He said the comment was taken out of context and no offense was taken. Rather big of Obama, actually.

Nancy needs to watch her back.
I can't help but wonder if she had something to do with this.
She's the most powerful woman in the world... why would she want to get knocked into the background by having a woman President or VP?

It's a good ad. McCain needs to be careful over-using the "gotcha".

I think McCain should hammer Obama on his naive and ever shifting socialist tax policy ideas. At one point Obama was asked -- "even if the money flowing to the treasury were decreased - would you still support tax increases on capital gains, dividends, income etc..." and Obama's answer was YES. because it's FAIR. So Obama thinks that even if tax increases decrease the money flowing to the treasury - we should still have tax increases.

Hammer that!

Some of them said they were going to vote for McCain because of the way they perceive Hillary as having been "dissed".
Methinks Obama's ego has really screwed the Dems up BADLY.

re: #219 Sharmuta

She wasn't even vetted.

I have to think she must have been engaged at some level. She was his only real chance of winning. But I also think she thinks this too and intends for Obama to crash and burn, which I believe the choice of Biden guarantees.

This bullcrap about Hillary's female army being upset is a joke - she would've been # 2, and the # 3 (Tuna Queen) is a well in some circles known as a female.

"So many fast-breaking developments"

Interesting anecdotal evidence with no statistical significance:
We went to the Old Town Alexandria farmers market this morning. (This is affluent liberal progressive Democrat, Jim Moran territory.) McCain and Obama volunteers were passing out stick on buttons. In thirty minutes I saw eight McCain stickers and two Obama.
I wanted to engage the Obama volunteers but my wife made me behave.

The ecomomy is in tatters.....WOT moving to Afghanistan....Russia threatening Europe....American car companies going under....kids doped up on Ritilan....illegal aliens....jail over-crowding....gangs....lawsuits....gas prices surging....food prices surging.

All America needs right now is two Lawyers running things.

B-HO saw the potential personal hazards of having the Pantsuit as VPOTUS. She was probably vetted, but that was it. No way did he want to have to look over his shoulder concerning her.

re: #221 finnman69

have to agree...and my hubby voted for Romney in the primary ( I was holding out for Thompson way back then). But now we have McCain, and we need a fresh face for VP. and there's a great one... Gov. Palin

re: #240 realwest

who said they were "Pissed" (real quote) that Obama didn't even vette Hillary

It was no win. Obama doesn't vette Hillary (showing he had no intention from the start that he even for a nano-second considered her) and the Hillary suppoters are pissed. If he DOES vette her and still doesn't pick her their even MORE pissed, so why waste his money/ time/ effort vetting her?

THIS is why McCain will not pick Romney. Joe Biden = WORST PICK EVER! Now MCCain, go pick SARAH PALIN...game over.

re: #78 Beach Lover

speaking of Caroline Kennedy...just goes to show she was in over her head. What is the world are they thinking? He had to be the 2nd or 3rd choice. Probably why it took so long to get out the message. Can't think Biden really wants to be a followup to Obama.

And what's with the "OJ car chasing heliocopter" to follow Biden to the airport?
Good grief!

Fresh Face for VP? You think that is a qualification to lead the greatest country on Earth should McCain die.

Sorry but that was the Dem's strategy to foist on us a fresh face.

Forget it.

Correction to an earlier post, Biden is no longer the poorest Senator, but he's close.
In 2005, he was 99th out of 100, but with the new class, Bernie Sanders and Amy someone or other are poorer.
McCain is listed as eighth, but it's Cindy's.... Hillary is ninth.
John F'ing Kerry is the richest...

Yeah. Begalla said on CNN last night that they should have created the illusion to Hillary that she was on Obama's shortlist at a minimum for VP. They didn't even do that. Susan Estrich said Dukakis even made an effort to make it look like he was gonna pick Jesse just because he was concerned about alienating his delegates and Jesse had nowhere near the number of delegates that Hillary has.

re: #248 sattv4u2

Because she wanted to be asked, even if she didn't want it.
Dukakis' people vetted Jesse Jackson, even though they knew he was not even in it, just to show ' respect'.
BIG mistake by Obama people. Huge. It wouldn't have cost them much, her records were easily available.

re: #208 tradewind

Any chance that this opens up the convention to a floor vote for Hillary?

re: #248 sattv4u2

I may be asking a stupid question, but why would Hilary have to be vetted? wouldn't that have already been done in order for her to be a Senator, let alone a leading candidate for the top job?

Not that I think she hasn't lied her way through all of it, but what in the world is Caroline Kennedy gonna ask her?
