Next morning after VP is announced: "Eh, sorry, but I was just having too much fun with ya guys by throwing off random hints and being very shady to make you believe I was the VP. That pizza prank? Brilliant, wasn't it? Got my cousin Danny to order that. Seeing the deputy Sheriff go nuts was classsssic. Congratulations to the real vice presidential nominee..."

Only if you are corrupt. Senators don't make that much money.

Edit: But $300,000? That seems low. His house has to be worth at least that.

That's ok. I'm fine with being the lone wolf here. More bitter tears for me to lick up!

I'm with you. I still holding out some hope for Clark.

Wesley Clark! Woooo!
 
re: biden haters... biden is the smartest man in the senate. he's a real legitimate straight talker and he does not take shit.

he isn't as pretty as bayh are seeblilouss and he's been on the scene longer, thus has a longer list of fuckups (voting for iraq) but really, there couldnt be a better choice.

Mormons are healthy folk.

Things Biden brings to the ticket:

He's Catholic, a group Obama hasn't done spectacularly well with.
He's Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Relations in the Senate.
Got all the experience you could ask for as he's been a Senator since 1972.
He's white.

$169,000 a year paycheck for rank and file members of the House and Senate.

I highly doubt he was being paid $169,000/yr back in the 70s.

He's only the smartest man in Senate because Obama moved out :p
 
Someone calling in to say "now I cannot vote for Obama if Biden is the VP, since Biden is a plagiarizer, and I wanted him to choose Hillary Clinton. I'm sitting this one out."

:lol

How did they confirm it?

Two anonymous sources.

Kinda funny John King broke this story.

CNN. A pissed off Hillary guy just called in saying that he isn't going to vote for Obama, because Obama plagiarizes people.

He said because Biden plagarizes -- not Obama.
 
Woohooo Biden it is!!!! Confirmed!!! As a Delawarean I couldn't be happier. Joe is awesome...the rest of the country will realize this soon enough.
 
Grats to Biden and supporters.

Would've preferred Sebellius, but from what I've seen Biden is a pretty strong choice anyway... certainly one that will be fun to watch anyway!

Plus, he's not going to take away from a possible supermajority so that's also good.

I think a lot of dems are going to be ok with Biden; for most of us guessing or wanting someone else, it would've been more a case of we thought that person would've been a better pick than simply that Biden was a crappy pick.

No, because Biden plagiarizes. Eventhough he didn't plagiarize..

Im not trusting those 2 anonymous sources.
It might be 4chan for all we care.
 
Damn it . . . I'm still holding out for Clark.

But Biden is fine with me his foreign policy knowledge blows Grandpa McCain out of the water.
 
have the text messages been sent out already since CNN leaked the info?
Any GAF dudes have it?

So the media says that it's offical. Are we to really believe the media heard something now all of a sudden?

Agreed on all points.


Although, I don't know if Biden being Catholic will help Obama. Many Spanish voters are Catholic and Obama has not done well with them (probably because he's black), so Biden won't change that too much methinks.
 
What is wrong with the Obama campaign, why did they let it break like this. They should have announced earlier.

And I predict McCain wins now, and we lose the court of social conservatives for a generation. Sad.


Obama you just lost your last chance for the remaining 25% of the Democratic base who were holding out for Hillary as VP.

Ugh, Obama has a 2:1 lead with Hispanics over McCain... Just because he lost that group to Hillary, don't mean he's losing them to John.

Did Cheebs and PhoenixDark have a baby and this is what resulted?
 
Great news. Great fucking news! I'm very happy. Biden was by far the best one left out of the most likely nominees. Yeah, he's definitely made some bad moves over his career, but who wouldn't have some strikes against them after 35 years? Not that I'm fluffing his bankruptcy/credit card shit away, but what are ya gonna do? Perfection doesn't exist in politics.

Go get 'em, Joe!

it's said that it'll help in w. virginia, where obama did terribly in the primaries. w. virginia has been pretty crucial for democrats in the past but the map may be different this time around

If this leak is it, it shows some serious mismanagement form the Obama camp.

Yep. You are the son of Cheebs and PD.
 
post primary Obama has been so disappointing. I guess i did set myself up for this sort of thing. Always don't follow the primary version of these candidates. Against core message as a Washington Insider, has made countless fucked up statements and borderline racist and insensitive comments, has voted against many of the social issues I hold strong, bankruptcy bill, voted for the Iraq War, etc etc

*sigh*

At this point I guess I have to still be on board if McCain is the alternative, but I am so frustrated with this shit already. I hope this dude has little influence in an Obama White House.
 
CNN confirms Sen. Barack Obama has chosen Delaware Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice-presidential running mate.

I'm out, and I won't believe shit till Obama or Plouffe or whoever the pick is says it.

ABC/CNN :lol

Agreed. We need official confirmation than just the news media
I'm still awaiting verbal confirmation from Barack Obama himself.

Biden is stuck now. 5,000 cameras now watch his every move. The second he leaves the house the media will run that fool down and the secert would be out.

He could sneak out using an old Christmas tree
