2. Quick! Quicker! Send this to Obama's VP scouts!

I agree with everything he said.

EJ Dionne has always been a Biden fan.
Bless him :)

3. Chris Matthews just cited that article

and said he'd put his money on Biden!

4. Ok - tsegat - we are doing it again!

I just ran to my computer to post this---but you beat me too it.

When it comes to Biden, you and I are on the same wavelength. :P

"I put my money on Biden"...that was music to my hears.

5. I obviously feel Biden would be the BEST,

but I'm not all that high on the idea. Still kind of fries me that he'd be the VEEP with Obama as the top guy.

6. I have mixed feelings.

Part of me feels that Biden would complete the ticket. He fills it in with all the things Obama is lacking~and vice versa.

The other part of me says that Biden's talents would be wasted as Veep, he would be much better as SoS. Gosh, he already goes around the world talking to our adversaries, just what Obama wants.

I think the only reason why I would like Biden as Veep is that he would help Obama win by being just as strong on foreign policy (stronger) as McCain.
But, I have to ask - what states will Biden help Obama with? PA maybe.
Will Biden help Obama with Hillary supporters? Maybe the blue collar workers, but not the women voters. So I don't know.

Maybe I'm just excited about hearing Biden's name being tossed around.

7. I wonder if Biden could help in a number of swing states

the blue-collar background, Catholic, born in PA, might help in OH & WV? All silly reasons to pick a pres, but there ya go.

Biden never endorsed Obama over Hillary, so maybe that would help him with Hillary's supporters? Get Jill on the trail if she's not teaching this summer; Violence Against Women Act...

12. Remember,

Cheney has forever changed the meme that the VP does nothing except bring in votes for the election.

I think Biden for VP will bring in a surprising number of votes beyond simple geographics/demographics.

11. Yeah, it is a bit bizarre

and kind of unsettling. It just doesn't feel right.

10. Good to see we haven't gotten rusty!

It is nice seeing Joe getting much deserved credit finally.

9. Don't they just look good together. Shit. Anyone looks good with Joe !

[jillan]

14. Well in that case - - - I need to go stand with Joe...

:P

8. was just about to post and realized that same article is all over the place on the 'net :)

13. Chuck Todd just said O' Biden is the hot ticket this week.

woooohoooo!!!:headbang:

Then Chuck Todd said we'll see about next week, Tweety said he bets next week too.

I'm loving this!!

15. Wow! That's our Joe - WE knew it all along! nt
