Apparently Joe is up for re-election, but state law allows him to run both for VP and Senate. This isn't new LBJ did it in 1960 and I believe Lloyd Bentsen did as well in 1988.

1. his republican challanger can just go suck on a big tough cow teet.

[ColbertWatcher]

2. Of course the GOP would do that.

Chickenshits.

Fuck 'em Joe, run for Senate and VP and governor.

That should sufficiently piss 'em off.

3. Rooooool of Lawwwwww.. Look it up repube..

4. Lieberman did the same thing when he ran with Gore

He ran for both.

11. Probably did.....

....but now he wouldn't.

5. Did he call on Lieberman

Tell him to fugg off.

6. Lieberman did in 2000 as well

7. He should step out of the Senate race

It indicates a lack of confidence in their ability to win. I think it hurt Gore/Lieberman in 2000. And, how would you feel if you were a Delaware voter? If Obama/Biden wins, your Senator will be chosen by special election or by the Governor.

President/Vice President should be all in...

8. How about we base decisions in the real world?

9. Just how many days are left in this session?

Seriously how much legislating is going to get done with the conventions and elections coming up? Besides I'll bet the Biden will be in the Senate more than McCain. Where are the calls for No-Show John to resign?

[RB TexLa]

12. They are saying he shouldn't run for re election to the Senate

Which would be stupid.

10. A question

Isn't up to each state? Just asking.
