I am going to jump on the Biden bandwagon

[usregimechange]

he is as sharp as a tack, loads of foreign policy experience, funny as hell, and a genuine good guy. Feingold would have been my first choice but America doesn't deserve him.

[anonymous171]

1. Me too. Obama/Biden '08!

[napi21]

2. I'm with ya! n/t

[TheDonkey]

3. I've been on and off, but I'm BACK baby! Obama/Biden

with Russia at war, Biden is the feather in Obama's cap.

[jillan]

4. Yeah!

[WheelWalker]

5. Here. Take my hand. Joe is one of us.

[gateley]

6. Believe it or not, I wasn't on the Biden bandwagon at first --

but now I think he's the best for this time, and for this political climate.

They make a great team.

[DCBob]

9. Good chemistry

Apparently Obama and Biden are very close and work together well. Good chemistry!

[gateley]

13. Well put. And welcome to DU, DCBob!

:hi:

[DCBob]

17. Thanks!

Long time lurker. DU is a great resource!

[gateley]

26. I agree --

the people here are so knowledgeable and so willing to help educate those of us who aren't. I've learned so much and I'm honestly grateful every day that I stumbled in somehow.

[DCBob]

7. Biden would be great!

I still think it might be Clark but Biden is a good solid safe choice. Obama/Biden sounds good too!

[jakem]

8. the Biden wagon is a cooooming down the street.....

[LSparkle]

11. "Oh please let it be for me!" (from "Music Man")

LOVE ME SOME JOE BIDEN!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. Is the bandwagon sponsored by Visa?

[Atman]

12. Yeah! Let's cannonball the "CHANGE" message with a Washington fossil!

Biden's a career Washington blow-hard. His specialty is giving speeches, not actually doing anything. He's the ANTITHESIS of the Obama message.

.

[Skwmom]

15. That's a Washington fossil owned by big business lobbyists.

[Think82]

16. ummm... not really

Biden has a longer list of legislative achievements than just about any other pick. He's never lived in washington, and commutes via amtrak ... public transportation ... to delaware every day. He's usually been ahead of the curve on many issues and a change agent.

Time in Washington does not mean "status quo." By that definition, if Barack Obama stayed a senator for 20 years, he would all of a sudden become "status quo" no matter what he believed or was trying to do.

Biden was essentially the young, charismatic, outsider, the "Obama" of the late 70's/80's... he's just been there a while fighting the good fight.

[Atman]

20. "...the "Obama" of the late 70's/80's..."

But this is 2008, and he's still the Obama of the 70s/80s. We need somehow who complements the Obama of 2008. Biden is YESTERDAY. Obama is TOMORROW. Biden is a horrible choice for a presidential candidate running on a message of "change."

.

[Skwmom]

21. Fighting the good fight for predatory lenders while screwing the

poor and middle class. Way to go Joe!

[Skwmom]

14. Someone as sharp as a tack doesn't vote for the biggest debacle in U.S. history.

What in the hell is wrong with this country? Are we stuck on stupid?

Funny, but I've never known a GENUINE GOOD GUY who would push for a bankruptcy bill that favored the predatory lenders while screwing the poor and middle class. And I'm willing to bet that a majority of people would agree with me.

[jillan]

18. You better not check out Obama's voting record on bankruptcy legislation

because you won't be thrilled with him either.

[nsd]

19. I'd be happy with Biden too.

[davidnc76]

22. I have followed politics since the early 1980s

and I have never seen a northern politician so well liked in North Carolina. Biden is by far Obama's best pick. I have been hoping for this ticket since mid-May.

[Muttocracy]

23. that's great to hear!

:hi:

[akbacchus_BC]

24. Second that otherwise Obama/Richardson. NT

[DianaForRussFeingold]

25. Joe is so smart and well respected,too... K&R

Great description of Joe! :patriot: "he is as sharp as a tack, loads of foreign policy experience, funny as hell, and a genuine good guy."

I sure hope Obama picks him...
There's lots of video clips on YouTube that would make great commercials...
