misterd Friday, August 22nd at 11:40PM EDT (link)Big mistake by Obama, but I’m not sure he had a great option open to him. Let’s be honest – there aren’t many viable Dem candidates. The one that seemed to poll the best was John Edwards, and that’s not happening now.
Of those that are left, they are either much too far left (Dean, Pelosi, etc) for the American people, or, thanks to the GOP dominating politics most of the past 20 years, low profile and/or inexperienced.
If he picked a young, fresh outsider, he reinforces the “change” mantra, while giving more support to the charges that the BHO administration would be totally unpreprared.
So he picks an insider with experience, and, for all his other problems, he’s a guy who seems more deserving than Obama.
I have no idea why he didn’t take Bayh- he’s no less exciting than Biden, and lacks the baggage. He has experience as a governor, but is not a Washington guy. He is older, but not McCain/Biden old.
Bill Richardson would have seemed to be a great choice – like Bayh a governor of a swing state, but he also has foreign policy experience and would help solidify the hispanic vote.
Of course his most exciting, best potential upside pick was Hillary. And it says something that his best choice is the most unliked woman in America, and someone he couldn’t trust not to sabotage his campaign.

Another thing about Biden is he drives one of those big old crew cab pick-up trucks that drinks gasoline like it’s going out of fashion. However he is against drilling in ANWR. I hope he doesn’t lecture us about conservation.
He might be useful in the White House because he knows Washington real well and knows where all the bodies are buried on the Hill. I think the pick reveals a complacency in the Obama campaign. Like the passengers on the Titanic, they just can’t imagine that the One can lose.

How could even someone as clueless and smug as Barry make such an idiotic choice?
Is there any chance that this is the ultimate red herring? That the “secret service” protection is just a mirage for the press to lead them on one final (and seemingly certain) false lead while St. Barack secretly calls up Hillary? It’d be quite the coup if this was the case.
If not, well…heh….hello President McCain. I mean, come on, nobody can control Biden’s mouth, not even Biden himself. Watching The One fall apart piece by piece is beyond amusing.

Stunning
Sean (SIConservative) (Diary) Saturday, August 23rd at 12:42AM EDT (link)Come on, guys. Biden’s a solid pick and you all know it. Yes, he’s gaffe prone, but he also has the most foreign policy experience of those who were considered. No matter whom he picked, this site and the RNC would be all over him. Don’t get me wrong, the same goes for the other side with whomever McCain picks. That’s politics. Honestly, though, if I had to choose a liberal Democrat for President, Biden would probably be my pick.
I also think that there’s another angle that has been missed so far. Although he is still a pro-choice Catholic, Biden has actually supported the PBA ban. Yes, this was a moderate measure that passed both houses of Congress with bi-partisan support, but Obama, Clinton, and, more importantly, NARAL opposed it. Obama’s own support for infanticide not withstanding, I don’t think many expected him to choose a running mate who didn’t follow the direct orders of the radical pro-abortion forces within the Democrat Party. Obama actually took a risk of alienating a significant part of his party’s base here, and it is a small but significant sign that the Democrats are becoming, if painfully slowly, more pro-life, or, at the very least, more open to pro-lifers. Partisan politics aside, that’s a very good thing.
Obama had better options
nod90 (Diary) Saturday, August 23rd at 12:44AM EDT (link)Richardson seemed to be the obvious choice, but I read something about a zipper problem.
Hillary is a real Faustian bargin, but she delivers votes which the One desperately needs. She could have helped him close the deal with many Dems.
I don’t know much about Bayh, but Indiana is next door to Ohio and Michigan. Bayh talks about national security and jobs on his website, and I’m glad he wasn’t picked.
Kaine might have swung Virginia, which would be a problem, but seems to be a total lightweight. He would have been even better than Biden from our point of view.
Wesley Clark could have been a real problem. He brings experience and toughens up the ticket.
The bottom line is that Biden wasn’t the worst possible choice, but he is close, especially in the age of YouTube.

OBAMA BIN BIDEN, gaffetastic ticket
Freedoms Truth (Diary) Saturday, August 23rd at 12:58AM EDT (link)“Yes, he’s gaffe prone, but he also has the most foreign policy experience of those who were considered. No matter whom he picked, this site and the RNC would be all over him.”
Rule #1 – you don’t get foreign policy or ideological leanings by osmosis. If obama is an inexperienced leftist, an experienced centrist for VP doesnt change that.
Rule #2 – the VP helps if he is articulate and stays on message. … the gaffe material for Biden is like picking ripe apples off a tree!
BIDEN-”Obama isn’t ready to be President and the job is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”

Why I know Biden is a bad pick
Freedoms Truth (Diary) Saturday, August 23rd at 1:02AM EDT (link)for Obama:
If it was a good pick, I’d have a pit in my stomach envisioning the bounce that leads to a narrow win that leads to 4 years under this horrible inexperienced leftwing Obama.
I dont get that at all. I am calm and at peace, and I am even enjoying the moment.
My gut never lies. This is a good pick … for us.

I have to disagree
BurkeanBadger (Diary) Saturday, August 23rd at 1:06AM EDT (link)I have to disagree with you, my friend. Of course you are entirely correct in that I am biased. No matter who Barry selected, I would have found something to criticize.
But I think you are looking at Biden from purely a “resume” standpoint. Yes, he is very experienced overall, especially in foreign policy, which balances out Barry’s complete lack of any experience. Would he make a decent President (decent for a liberal Democrat, anyway)? Perhaps. But I’m asking how he looks as a VP candidate; an entirely different question.
As you concede, he is “gaffe prone”. I do not believe that, given the endless press he will have for the next two and a half months, he will be able to control his diatribes. He’s the epitome of a loose cannon. I understand why Barry picked him; he wants someone who can go negative without hesitation. And yes, Biden can and will do that. It is what he will say above and beyond this that should give Democrats the willies.
As for abortion, I hope you are right in that Democrats are becoming more open to the pro-life position. However, I cannot help but think that Biden was selected, in part, to help mute the growing firestorm over Barry’s casual indifference to infanticide and nothing more.

#1 on the GOP special list is LIBERALISM, not debate moments or vps
Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) Saturday, August 23rd at 1:19AM EDT (link)This is fundamental. This is what the msm doesn’t want you to know. They want you to blame dem losses on ANYTHING but failed liberalism and they want you to credit victory on TV moments.
as if
When the fact is that what causes Americans to reject known liberals is their liberal views, not what particular liberal is at the top or bottom of the ticket and what skeletons they have in closets that walk around.
And once we understand and internalize this fact, our repubs won’t lose their spines 72 hrs after they win and move to DC.

I think you're gut is right
BurkeanBadger (Diary) Saturday, August 23rd at 1:22AM EDT (link)my friend.
Of course, only time will tell.
But on about October 25, after Biden has said something about McCain’s POW time as being an “extended vacation”, after he says on Meet the Press that he is proud to be running with such a “clean” nominee, after he tells some reporters that Bush should be executed for war crimes, at which point, when Obama will be punching holes in walls and cursing everyone who told him to go with Biden, then we’ll know how right your gut was.
And yes, I made up the quotes (except for the “clean” one). But with Biden, they’re not at all far fetched

This is hilarious without even being drunk
gensec (Diary) Saturday, August 23rd at 2:21AM EDT (link)I think Neil, and I too, both owe mea culpa’s, for suggesting it might take us a few drinks to care the slightest about Obama’s VP pick, then only because it would get us laughing.
Any alcohol buzz I had earlier tonight is long gone, but the idea that even Obama could do something this dumb has got me rolling on the floor.
Seriously [trying real hard to stop laughing], I think Biden might make a decent first impression with the electorate (those not already familiar with him), helped by the MSM not making a big deal of his past foot-in-mouth episodes. But as the VP candidate, he can’t help getting a lot of exposure; and Biden is the kind of guy that grates the more you see of him, familiarity breeding contempt. It’s hard to believe how Obama’s handlers didn’t see this.
