IMO those hanging onto the belief that Biden will reinforce Obama's lack of experience to voters are missing a key point. He won the Democratic primary which had a record number of voters who ALL knew he didn't have experience.

 

Republicans arent voting for Obama.

McCain made a stupid mistake that makes him look bad, IMO. It's bad when you don't even know how many houses you own. Makes him seem awful worthy of the elitist word that many conservatives around here like to throw around.

How bad is it when you don't know how many states we have in the USA? :sssh:

Is he not part of the Obama Campaign now? Stupid move for them to make.

He may make less, but he's still a very rich man.

 

No, he's not. He is one of the few senators that is not wealthy.

Poll on Hannity tonight.

33% of women thought Biden was a good choice.

27% of women thought Biden was the wrong choice.

 

Obama has a real gap in the gender area of polling.

No, he's not. He is one of the few senators that is not wealthy.

 

His crib sure looked sweet.

I agree that the money pick would have been Evan Bayh. Biden is not a good selection IMO.

No, he's not. He is one of the few senators that is not wealthy.

:lol: His house is valued at over a half a million dollars. Who you trying to kid?

I've been thinking about this off and on all day. I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Biden a few years ago in Delaware. He is very much the stereotypical politician, and is certainly not lacking in self-confidence. :lol:

 

I genuinely believe this will come back to bite Obama hard, and is great news for the Republican side.

 

Dems can defend Biden all day long. Biden can roll up his sleeves and do Obama's dirty work in attacking McCain. And yes, no republicans will vote for Biden... but neither will a significant percentage of so-called independents who believed in Obama's message of "Change". The whole idea of change kinda falls flat when the veep to be has been a senator 10 years longer than old man McCain has been in Washington

 

Biden's been in the senate since 1973 (35 years.)

McCain first became a Representative in 1983, and a senator in 1987.

 

Kinda defeats the whole angle of framing McCain as part of the old school Washington establishment. :lol:

100% correct on this being the real downside for Obama.

I'm telling ya, if McCain puts Romney on the ticket, he wins come November.

 

If McCain picks Romney, then Obama needs to make sure he uses Romney's religion Mormonism, to his FULL advantage. I think Barack could stir up it up enough, to make sure some of the Christian right doesn't vote.

With Rev. Wright still fresh on the minds of most people I highly doubt Obama wants to bring up religion at all.

No, he's not. He is one of the few senators that is not wealthy.

 

He is currently making at least $169,300 per year. He is only not wealthy perhaps when compared to other senators.

:thumb: Sad thing about the republican party is Romney is there best bet for VP... I was originally for Bidden for president and I'm thrilled to see him as the next VP of the United States!

Hopefully Obama will take your advice. :lol:

 

That would give McCain a perfect excuse for pointing out that Obama's former church was an owner of Christ Hospital, which is the hospital that employed Jill Stanek. Stanek is the nurse who blew the whistle on the church for allowing newborn babies to die in agony while denying them medical treatment because they were victims of botched abortions.

 

The story gets more interesting. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jr. was once a member of the board of directors of the company that owned Christ Hospital.

 

I wonder if Obama's mentor, Wright, or fellow TUCC members ever lobbied Obama to lead the opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act when Obama served as an Illinois State Senator?

 

Obama would be a fool to make anybody else's religion an issue.

He is currently making at least $169,300 per year. He is only not wealthy perhaps when compared to other senators.

Biden seems to be pretty bad with his personal finances. There has been some controversy concerning the sale of Biden's former home and some very favorable interest rates that he was able to negotiate.
