I believe worldrunover ended up winning the "I predict Joe Biden as VP" pool. At least I think so. It's hard to separate "I predict" and "I wish one of these 12 people..."

oh and mandark and Triumph will probably be crushed when they learn that Biden is the VP

Hillary's negatives were just too high. Unfairly so but that is the way it is. She's been a target for so long that some of the bullshit thrown at her has managed to stick.

To some degree, Obama's relative newcomer status has been a positive. They are scrambling to find things to attack him with.

Not just her negatives but they would also have to deal with big Bill's dealings. Bills been making a LOT of cash since he left the presidency and there are a lot of questions as to where and how he's been making that money not including who and how some of the money was raised for his library questions that would have to be vetted and that he has been less that willing to disclose. Remember the GOP had Hillary pegged as the front runner and sure winner for the Dem's so they had an entire strategy already set-up for her "inevitable" selection one that would have gone into play had she also have been picked VP. Putting aside the ugly campaign her team ran there was still to chance she would ever get picked.

i think the VP will be michael jackson. when asked about it Obama will be like, "HE MADE THRILLER!" and everyone will be like "Eh, he has a point." and then will disperse.

I've got no text message. I'm disappointed.

Still, like I've been saying all year, Biden's the most solid pick. He's the sharpest tongue in Washington and he knows foreign affairs far better than McCain does. Just stick his ass in Pennsylvania for the next two months and air it in rural Ohio and he'll pick up the blue collar vote too.

Moving on...

I think Biden is a solid choice given what he has to work with, but I do think McCain and co. are going to come out strong against him; there's definitely some ammo there for them to work with.

Anyway, Huzzah for Osama Bin Biden!

Biden will help a great deal in Pennsylvania. Also, Biden's mouth will be an asset because he knows how to drive home an argument without relying on tired talking points. Evan Bayh and especially Bill Richardson were rather anemic attack dogs because they just regurgitate talking points. They don't know how to land their own jabs. On the other hand, Biden doesn't need campaign talking points to land a upper cut.

Plus Biden isn't a weasel. I think he'll be straight up with Obama right or wrong. Bayh is too passive. Kain would probably be "me too" too much. And Hilary would be a snake just biding her time until she can run for president again.

I think Biden is a great choice for VP. It really helps balance the ticket.
