Reply #102: Why Did Biden tell reporters earlier, "I'm not the guy." when he was (or didn't know)??

[Herman74]

Obama in my opinion is being overconfident. The polls show a tightening of the race, and I remember how things went sour in 1988 and even in 2004 (in early August 2004, Kerry was doing quite well). I would have gone with Kaine, in order to try to nail down Virginia's electoral votes (13). Of course, my top choice was really General Clark, but the Obama camp evidently never had any interest in Wesley. The choice of Biden too makes it harder for Obama to attack McCain on the Iraq war since Biden voted to give authority to Bush to wage it.

I don't like this pick, but, of course, I shall definitely still support the ticket.
