Go, O! Go, Joe!


Great veep choice, Senator Obama!

Thanks from a Hillary supporter who appreciates why Hillary wasn't "vetted" as the vice presidential candidate. We're saving her for the U.S. Supreme Court, right?

Meanwhile...

Senator Joe Biden is a smart, likable fellow--a man of the people. Sure, he has a big mouth and big opinions, but they're backed by long years of distinguished public service and sober research on foreign policy issues brought before the United States Senate. Plain talk and informed wordiness are the by-products of such a long, intelligently managed and seriously dedicated career.

So get ready, America. Once we elect O and Joe, expect a steady flow of words, opinions, and informed policies developed through open decisionmaking.

For many of us, the air will feel fresh again. We like it best when Educated Professionals vs. Cheerleading Dummies and Metal-Plant Zombies are in charge of the world that exists beyond Texas. (Yes, Virginia, there is such a thing!)

NR, as usual another great post! I watched O and Joe live on CNN this afternoon at Springfield and was very pleased to hear their speeches. Biden is a good choice to prop up O and supplement his weak spots and Joe will certainly make a good "attack dog" on McSame/McLame and the Repugs, but I think it is soon going to turn into a tough and rough race. Karl Rove and his ilk have been lurking in the shadows waiting to play no telling what sort of dirty tricks on the Dems, and I waiting for a major "international crisis" to arise to help rally voters to McLain. It will be interesting to see who McLame will pick for veep.

Whoa, love that comment by Jon/Jan (can't quite read the red signature). McSame, McLame, & the Repugs is the best name for a musical group since Gladys Knight & the Pips! I can't get too excited so far about Biden.... I worry about his tendency to run his mouth and say regrettable stuff. Hope he proves me wrong!
