#1 I like Obama's selection, it just made the campaign interesting to me.
Stupid Joe is just about the most vapid piece of crap in the senate. Although watching that moron is endlessly entertaining. I'm certain he is going to provide some real (unintentional) comedy over the next couple of months. I can't wait for him to start telling us how smart he is.
There was a time not so long ago I considered sitting this election out because I could never pull the lever for McCain, now the Messiah has picked stupid Joe, I have to vote McCain, those other two knuckleheads can't be let anywhere near the whitehouse. McCain would have to chose Pelosi as a running mate for me to sit it out now.

#2 The new sustitute for 'When pigs fly' - When McCain chooses Pelosi for a running mate.

Except a Gingrich/Pelosi ticket is perhaps less likely...

#3 Biden would have made a hell of the other-side RantBurg contributor, not VP.

#4 I think Obummer picking Biden makes is much more easier for McCain to pick a VP that he likes personally and has a history of working with in Senate, Congress or administration. He doesn't know have to pick someone that is key to a battleground state. He can pick who the hell he chooses to be comfortable with and is relatively safe - background, boners, slips, etc. Me, I think he should pick Giuliani, but then that's me not McCain. So, it has to be Romney. Even a Mormon guy is safe with Biden on the other ticket.

#5 Seems like BO chose Biden to serve as a lightening rod, keeping the critical attention off Barrak and on Joe. The question becomes, how good will John be at refocusing the heat back on the man? It's shaping up to be the greatest show on earth.

#6 Biden was meat for the Donk traditionalists. No matter what face they're putting on, there's deep apprehensiveness in the upper echelons. I suspect that their best guess is they're either going to squeak by [the optimal] or they're going to go down big in November [the possible] losing not just the Executive, but also the Legislative. Biden is an anchor to get the old party faithful to at least show up at the poles, cause I'm getting feedback that a big chunck OPF is McCain's at the moment or a no show.

#10 I see Biden as playing the wacky chemistry teacher who just had a big hit off the bong in a remake of "Porky's".
