really? i think the whole "look at what he said, she said in the primary" attack is a fairly weak one.

it'll score 1 point and then be shelved. i don't see that as being a long term liability.

who knows though i guess... pretty much every shot i've called so far has missed so yeah, haha



ok it's on obama's website now, so it's official

Campaign Response

Video Ad

It's already begun. *shakes head*


Here's the thing about Biden. If this statement was the only line of attack the McCain camp would be able to bring up he'd be a fine choice. But it's not. Biden has a long and storied history filled with bouts of foot in mouth disease.

i was checking out some biden videos and i have to agree he seems like a good attack dog.



Still watching this ^-^ Biden seems like a smart guy, I see this as a good pick. Early on in the primaries I liked what he had to say but never thought of supporting him since he seemed to have no chance.

edit: finished watching.. he really is good at attacking. Smart guy. He tears McCain to shreds. Never seen a democrat do that better.

edit2: other video :p

Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, announced his selection of Biden as his running mate with a 3 a.m. text message and a statement on his official Web site.

lol

I don't understand this election. Can you seriously be considering someone for president who has served a SINGLE term in the senate with one of the worst voting records. Since then he has spent 59% of his time campaigning. Sounds like he has his priorities in order....

Obama's 3 a.m. text message was a failure now because it was already confirmed by every news network in advance. But it's a HUGE success in that now on election day they have god knows how many thousands of numbers to send a GOTV message.

Depends on how you look at it it's a surprise that nobody spilled who it was days beforehand. The fact that the campaign kept it secret to the very day speks volumes, and now with those numbers they have voter population etc.

it was a huge win

obama dominated the news cycle for the last two days

yesterday, like 95% of the airtime on cnn was spent talking about Obama's potential VP

even though the voters hear it first thing fizzled, the combination of registered phone numbers, and massive media hype makes it probably the best choice the obama camp could have made to reveal the VP

I really wonder how mccain will try and match it
(since everyone knows its going to be romney anyway lol)

fuck yes! Maybe now people will finally learn that Delaware is a state! (I'm a DE resident)

Anyway, now that Obama-Biden is out in the open, someone's already gotten a hold of it and done the inevitable "Vote O(b/s)ama / Bi(n-la)den" thing.

It was actually pretty funny.

Anyway, I really do wonder who McCain will pick as his running mate now. Obama picked one that wouldn't really make a huge splash in the world of politics (what I mean is, imagine if Obama had picked Clinton or someone), so what will McCain do? Since he's relying a lot on leadership, experience, and patriotism, it'll have to be someone who can complement those traits.

EDIT: beaten by something that makes me look dumb

McCain's VP will be a lot more scrutinized, maybe... since he realistically might die to old age, or develop something that keeps him out of condition to work.

Supposedly the most important job in the whole country and you want to elect a dude who could kick the bucket.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

I doubt it

Mccain doesnt get much coverage positive or negative. They might turn it into an issue, but I doubt you will see the same kind of focus you see on obama

So the first attack was McCain recalling how Biden called him a personal friend... Trying to figure out how one could counter that statement. I'm sure Sean Hannity will repeat it way into the fall over and over again pretty much on a nightly basis.

But I loved this quote:

Sen. John McCain will have to "figure out which of the seven kitchen tables to sit at" when considering his own economic future, said Biden, jabbing at the man he called his personal friend.


I doubt that will get much air time.

I would not vote for Obama because he wants to put USA in debt even further with his Communist health care plan. Oh yeah, he is also racist.

I guess that leaves McCain... At least he isn't a damn commie.

Sure, lets just forget about inflation and economic collapse. Obama will take a lot, McCain will take much more (just like Bush has done).
