Getting lost in all this excitement - we have a GREAT VP in Joe The Biden!!!

[NRaleighLiberal]

I've seen very little mention of him over the past two days. But you can be sure that Obama will draw so much on Biden's experience and knowledge. This is a superb team...just wanted to give Joe (can I call him Joe??) his due!

1. Biden probably knows many of the likely appointees, so I bet he's having input. nt

2. Hear! Hear!

They just showed a pic of him and played the audio of his response to a question -- unfortunately I tuned in at the very end, but at least KO mentioned him.

21. Smiling, capable, genial, exceptionally smart Democrats!

WOO HOO!

I love Joe Biden. They both have great smiles, but Joe's got this eye-crinkle/twinkle going on that is so charming. I am just so incredibly proud of the entire ticket; I feel like I'm in an alternate universe where GOOD things happen!

3. "Ladies & gentlemen... ladies & gentlemen..." :) So glad he is Obama's right-hand. nt

4. Was paying only l/2 attention, but heard on MSNBC

either somebody reading from a paper, or his voice, but Joe Biden was saying something like "we're still friends, John," and "we can't do it without you." Reaching for bipartisan support ....

Wish I'd heard all of it.

5. Dupe. nt

6. From a media coverage standpoint, this was decidedly a three person race.

Barack Obama vs. John McCain vs. Sarah Palin.

Obama won, and McCain was defeated by BOTH of them.

7. Our first Catholic Vice-President. nt

8. He has been a big element

They tried to eclipse him with Palin and THAT blunder was so loud it stole a bit of the public thunder I think he would have had in tearing down McCain. In any event I think he was a huge factor in the GOP meltdown and an undeniable great VP.

One thing I would like to bring up is all Biden's legislation he never got passed, especially, first and foremost, campaign finance reform, real hardcore gutting of the entire fraudulent election problem. Simple and maybe the best way to get at the problem in the large and quickly.

If we pushed nothing else we could save the future with that one, and reduce our dangerous reliance on the wealthy and too many wealthy candidates.

11. I think so too!!

I never know much about him but now I really like him!! He's like a MILLION percent better person than that last vp.

[Jade Fox]

12. Love Joe!!

[paregdem]

13. Kick for Joe! When he accepted VP, I was with that pairing 110%

:kick:

[mtnsnake]

14. It's amazing that our new Pres & VP just happen to be 2 of the coolest guys in the universe, too

[MarjorieG]

15. Absolutely critical to FL, OH, PA wins. Not enough kudos Joe, and going forward.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. Great point!

[KatieB]

17. Absoutely looking forward to JOE!

[Kahuna]

18. Gotta love Joe the Biden!

:loveya:

[1corona4u]

19. I think we need to get use to not seeing, and hearing about him..

maybe a few Sunday shows once in a while, but that's about it.....I don't remember any VP being very out front....

[Left Brain]

20. Obama has included Biden in everything he says and does.

If you haven't had a chance to check out this website, I highly recommend it:

Note that everything refers to Barack and Joe -- together! I love that "partnership" in governance. Like Clinton & Gore (and maybe even better, wooooooo hoooo!)

22. I am thrilled with Joe Biden. Exstatic about Obama. And happy as a clam

about Liddy Dole.

23. It's true- gotta love the real, authentic Joe from this race. n/t

24. The Joe Biden Story...someday a Movie....within the Obama Movie

It would Rock with a Disney like ending.....

[Lifelong Protester]

25. In response to all the threads with nervous tones about

"who is Barack chosing?", I think everyone should rest assured that the guy knows what he is doing. He showed as much in his first pick, JOE BIDEN!!

And thank you, NC!!!
