My brother lives in Delaware and just called me. He said that Biden is surrounded by security...

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

Security is surrounding him as if he is the pope. Jesus Christ...

[peoli]

1. fuck yes!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

12. My brother is a black man who could give a fuck about politics. And he is now totally

immersed in this elections. Loves Obama and is THRILLED that it's Biden!!!

[peoli]

25. I LOVE THIS TICKET! Biden kicks ass!

[Colobo]

2. He's the Veep! Wooo-hooo!

[elleng]

3. As in

Secret Service?

[Jennifer C]

4. Where is Biden?

Did your brother say?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. Leaving Delaware! Or, his motorcade is leaving and there is so much security!

DE is such a small place and rarely gets any attention. This entire production is really bringing a lot of excitement. I'm talking to him now trying to get more information. It's on the local DE stations in Wilmington and Dover...

[Ava]

5. your brother lives in biden's neighborhood?

pretty cool :hi:

[Lucinda]

8. Everyone lives in Bidens neighborhood in Delaware.

:rofl: That state is teeny.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

15. No, it's on the news...

It's all over the news. Biden everywhere. He's saying that Biden is highly secured location. That's being reported on local news...

He said people are out looking for helicopters.

[Ava]

22. why isn't on the national news?

it would be on CNN, MSNBC, CNN Headline News, and Fox news :shrug:

[democrat2thecore]

23. Yes. They are all on VEEP-alert - would break-in with this in a heartbeat -nt

[Ava]

27. yup, that's what keeps popping into my head

i certainly don't mean to sound rude with the questions, but until it is confirmed, i don't believe it.

[MiniMe]

31. It made my local news

Of course, I'm in DC so we get all national politics as local stories.

[Ava]

34. footage of the house? or just a clip talking about the ABC news report?

if it's biden i'll be sad, but i'll of course support the ticket whole heartedly. but until i see it or hear it from obama, i'll remain skeptical. ;)

[MiniMe]

40. both

Like I said, national news is local news here.

[dkf]

42. Is that picture real?

:rofl:

[lumpy]

43. I am Happy Happy Happy !!!

Obama made the right pick for VP. Biden has 30 years experience since the age of 29 in the Senate; terrific foreign policy experience; a truly dedicated American; has great down home appeal, has a terrific memory, is profoundly intelligent, knows what the hell is going on, has a genuine passion for his job and has no problem holding his own when it comes to values; a real fighter. Hoooray !!!

[bluestateguy]

6. This could be a head fake

nt

[Abacus]

11. I doubt it

I don't think that would be a very good PR move

[WheelWalker]

21. A head fake like this is liable to break your f#ck'n neck!

[jillan]

7. I want to be watching this on the news - but the news has closed down for the rest of the nite.

[Lucinda]

9. CNN maybe?

[blonndee]

10. I've got CNN on in the other room. I thought it was live.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

16. On local Wilmington, Dover news stations...

[Lucinda]

24. What station? They dont seem to be covering it online...

[mzmolly]

13. Could it simply be that he's considered the VP?

:shrug:

[redqueen]

17. Where? The live feed from his house shows a few reporters.

Where is all the security?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. probably out of sight!

that's why they are called secret! :toast:

[redqueen]

20. They just showed a local police officer or sheriff walking Biden into his house.

Would he be there if the SS were there?

The talking heads are still saying "if".

Until I see SUVs at his place, I don't believe the report.

[Lucinda]

35. Do you have a link for the live feed?

[redqueen]

36. No I just saw it on CNN a few times.

They're not showing it since Larry King's been on though, I don't think.

But at 4 hours now since this report first surfaced... I'm less and less inclined to believe it.

[RNdaSilva]

19. Here's a Delaware newspaper, but...

[beltanefauve]

28. Is THAT Biden's

Wilmington "estate"?

According to ABC's Jake Tapper:http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/08/us-secret-servi.html

[RNdaSilva]

29. Must be Biden's Wilmington "estate."

Don't think McCain would be interested in purchasing it...not elite enough.

"Of course, all the speculation can be for naught. In 1980, the Chicago Sun-Times declared "It’s Reagan and Ford," inaccurately reporting that former President Gerald Ford was chosen as Ronald Reagan’s running mate. In fact, George H.W. Bush was Reagan’s pick."

[MiniMe]

32. Biden is not a rich man

Unusual for the Senate but true.

[beltanefauve]

37. Supposedly,

he is the "poorest" member of the Senate. If I find a link, I'll post it.

Personally, I find that a plus.

[MiniMe]

39. So do I

[sandnsea]

33. Nonprofit grocery thrift store???

I think I'm calling St Vincent's on Monday. What a terrific idea.

[democrat2thecore]

26. Liberal_Stalwart - somebody's pulling your chain

Or you're pulling ours.

CNN is showing live shots of the house and there just isn't any security "all over Biden's house."

[RNdaSilva]

30. See belanefauve's link above...

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/08/us-secret-servi.html

[democrat2thecore]

41. No...I know that.....the scene he's describing outside Biden's house IS NOT happening -nt

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

38. My brother has no reason to be pulling my chain. More SS is headed to Biden's house

I'm on travel in Chicago but I'm sure that if I were at home in D.C., I'd be able to get more coverage.
