biden?  yes, i expected a younger better lookin' dude. but biden is a good choice : he re-assures the wash insiders, the clark cllffords & the tommy bogges-es.
conservatives regard Biden as sincere but misguided; not really bright but trust-worthy.
 
The fact that the Dem Party has to swing to its v-p candidate for the blue collar vote is not only a bad sign for this election but for the next 6 elections. They are the affirmative action party, if you ask me---which is a catching basket for other items like Indian gambling and illegal immigration and gay marriage.

If Obama was 43% as smart as people think he is he'd say----"With regard to alternative energy, we Dem have spent too much time on tax credits and not enough on streamlining construction permits. We treat building and erecting solar collectors and wind mills like they are off shore oil rigs. Let's move 'em!"

McCain shd say about Obama and the surge----"A president has to be able to recognize success whether its in bridges or remedial reading or long term health care or law enforcement or preventing animal diseases or in diplomacy or bio-technology or in making steel. A president who puts politics before acknowledging the success of other Americans endangers the success and progress of the country. The surge was successful and Senator Obama shd be man enough to say 'well done, boys. Well done.' "
