Obama/Biden

Biden/LaBamba would have been better. Biden is the most qualified of any canadate. I think they have forgotten the South though.

Could be trouble

Biden is a staunch liberal. I know plenty of Democrats that can't stomach Biden. If the Dems aren't fond of him, why would middle of the road voters back him. This is a huge mistake for Obama.

You may be correct. After all, he's only been elected to six Senate terms. You should expect no less than another 36 years before you think he's well regarded.

Being elected to six senate terms in a Democrat state is not the same as being center stage as a VP candidate. Obama needed to bring independent voters onto his side. Picking Biden as his VP certainly will not do that. McCain is a moderate Republican who appeals to moderate Dems. Obama added someone to his ticket who may be more Liberal than he.

I thought you wrote that Democrats don't like Biden.

I know plenty that do not. I do not live in Deleware, but I can guarantee that Deleware voters will not be deciding the presidential election this year.

Name one issue from the primary where that's true.

And, it's Delaware.

I know many Republicans that do not think McCain is a Republican.
And McCain is not running for VP. It will be interesting to see if these Rep.
even vote. It wont matter in this state (Texas), McCain will win handily.
But... it might be an indicator if the "real" Republicans in other states vote.

I think the Republicans are doing a good job of getting a fright vote
out of the conservatives that really dont like McCain.

Now that Joe Biden is the VP candidate the conservatives will back McCain. Not to mention the fact that many independent voters will shy away from Obama because his ticket is now too Liberal.

funny how Joe Biden is picked by the first african american presidental candidate after he was part of a group of senators to publicly lynch the highest ranking african american justice in this
country

I wonder how how Justice Thomas feels today to see this turkey nominated for VP
