So, what do you think of Joe Biden?

[ProgressiveVoter]

Just wonderin'.

Only concern with Obama-Biden is you know that the Republicans including Limbaugh are thinking about taking yard signs and changing the 'm' to an 's' and adding 'nla' before 'den'. (Osama-Binladen). Just tellin ya what the righties are gonna say!

[GardeningGal]

1. So, how often do you listen to Limpballs? n/t

[ProgressiveVoter]

5. I don't, but I know he calls Edwards the "Breck Girl" and Obama "Osama Obama".

[polichick]

2. That's okay, we have "McBush" - far worse!

[MercutioATC]

3. Don't love hin, don't hate him...but he's a compromising insider and we can do better.

[Kittycat]

4. Hmmm - Welcome to DU.

Biden is my top choice in the current leader pool.

[book_worm]

6. He would be a strong selection.

[David Zephyr]

7. Great guy. He delivers not one electoral college vote.

That's reality.

[gateley]

8. You're honestly concerned about this? nt

[sweettater]

9. for crying out loud

don't give them any ideas! :grr:

[ProgressiveVoter]

12. You don't think Karl has thought of it? Same for Dodd.

Obama-dine-Dodd (like Ahmajindedad or whatever from Iran)

[Muttocracy]

27. right, that would be the first thing out of people's mouths.

:eyes:

[PM7nj]

33. Huh? Wha? lol

[AlGore-08.com]

10. I think he's clean and articulate.

:hide:

Hey, somebody had to say it! ;)

[polichick]

11. Well, maybe not perfectly clean or perfectly articulate - but he's a good Joe. :)

[DesertFlower]

14. lol. nt

[masshole]

13. riiiiiight

yea, uhm, that's really clever. We needed to know this... No, really we did. You're a saviour.

[nsd]

15. Good guy. Good choice.

A fighter.
Great campaigner.
Knows policy inside & out.
Thinks for himself.
Will give a rousing acceptance speech.
Will win the VP debate.
Will reassure older and working class voters.

[emilyg]

18. Good guy. OK choice.

[chascarrillo]

16. He's probably the one single VP pick that could get me to consider Nader.

I mean, I'll still end up voting for Obama, but I'll have to hold my nose if I see Biden (D-MBNA) alongside.

[ProgressiveVoter]

17. Then you'll need to leave this site, because we support Democrats here.

[emilyg]

19. Right. That's why we pile on Clinton.

[chascarrillo]

21. I'M A FUCKING VICTIM, GODDAMMIT!!!!

[emilyg]

26. Perhaps you are.

No need to shout.

[PM7nj]

34. Like you don't pile on Obama constantly?

[chascarrillo]

20. Read my post. Thanks.

[tokenlib]

31. We also critique democrats here--and Biden will not be immune..

this is not love Joe Biden or get the hell out....

[democrat2thecore]

25. AFL-CIO Senate Ratings - Biden:100%..'07...85% Lifetime -- McCain:0%..'07...16% Lifetime -NT

[ChiciB1]

32. And Biden Will Probably Be The Only Pick That Will Even Get Me

interested in this election again! Say what you will, he's been around a long time and I bet he knows a lot more than you realize.

I still see "fire in his belly" and think he's itching to take the Repukes on. Like Cheney, he probably won't run for POTUS and won't feel the need to grovel. I stated earlier that Obama is the candidate and I'm sure his handlers will still run the show, but Biden can be the Attack Dog!

I know many will bring up his past as everyone does about anyone in politics... but for me, I see a different Joe Biden now! Sometimes it's true that with AGE comes WISDOM! He's just a little older than me and looking back I know there are MANY things I wish I could "do over" again.

We ALL make mistakes, yes WE ALL DO, but that doesn't mean you don't learn something in the process. Well some NEVER learn, but I think most do. Ever since the Flip-Flop phrase became so prevalent, anything anyone did in the past seems to mar them for life! I dare say, we all have flip-flopped in our lives and I've always felt too many Americans use the phrase to define far too much.

JMHO!!

[RBInMaine]

22. He's a good pick as far as foreign policy experience, helps with older voters, and a FIGHTER !!

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

23. He's a good potential Secretary of State.

The Senate can't bust his balls over the bankruptcy bill, because a lot of them voted for the shit too. So he'll pass confirmation easily for a cabinet post. But that's baggage we DON'T need to hand to KKKarl Rove and the GOP mudslinging team.

No on Joe for VP

[Debi]

24. Your concern is so sweet!

:thumbsup:

[Stop Cornyn]

28. Not the worst Democrat in the Senate by any stretch, but the worst VP selection from the Senate. He

is the epitome of the status quo in DC and the polar opposite of "change."

Biden makes a lie of Obama's whole primary campaign. Obama's way too smart (and honest) to do that.

[ChiciB1]

35. From What I've Seen... The Obama I See Today Isn't The Obama

I saw in the beginning. Just this morning on C-Span there was a Mr. Allison from the Sunlight Foundation with a lot of information about the upcoming Convention that might surprise you. Not only the Democratic Convention, but also the Repukes. Much, much more too, you might find some interesting reading there.

29. FINALLY tombstoned. nt

[ladjf]

30. Considering Obama's "gentlemanly" demeanor, Biden might just

give the ticket a much needed balance. Biden isn't bashful about taking anyone on and he's pretty good at the stinging retort.

[thewiseguy]

36. Goodbye!

:D

[wisteria]

37. Biden doesn't change anything for me, I will still vote for Senator Obama.

I have some issue with Senator Biden, but he is OK.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

38. Biden will be good

[GoesTo11]

39. He's likeable enough

Never been personally crazy about him, but I respect him. He's a hard worker, he understands the issues damn well. And he can sometimes say things just right (but he bats about .500). Think he'd be a net plus as VP candidate and as VP.

[knixphan]

40. Dude is tailor-made for this election.

Biden's ready to go.

Suit him up, give him a gun.

[Naturyl]

41. FYI - The OP has been tombstoned

For his efforts in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6691513

He knows what "righties are going to say" because he is one.

DU is currently experiencing major troll activity and I don't believe all of them have been outed yet.
