    So it’s Joe! Biden is probably a good pick for Obama politically. An attack dog most willing to get into the fray, and a somewhat average guy to counter Obam‘s elitist tag. He will also help with the Catholic vote which still maintains a considerable bloc in the states.

    The choice lends itself for a fun circus-filled campaign coming up. I eagerly await the democratic convention with both the Clintons and now Joe taking center stage. I hear they may have to add an extra day to accommodate the VP acceptance speech for “Everyone’s crazy Irish uncle” (as he’s sometimes referred to around these parts… he originally comes from a couple of towns up the pike from me).

    But “HE DOES HAVE A GOOD SOUL.” (a required ending reference when speaking about Joe Biden).

    Looking at conservative websites and listening to conservative talk radio it's impossible to miss the Republicans' reaction to Obama choosing Biden: Republicans are very, very happy this morning.

    True but I think it's fair to say they're not as happy as they would have been if Obama had of chosen Clinton instead.

    Now I really hope Romney is McCain's Vp; Biden would enjoy tearing him apart. Good tv, too.

    If he was going to choose any of them Id've hoped it would be Huckabee - I like that guy...

    Yes, that picture is only slightly less disturbing than the one taken during Rick Santorum's concession speech, which occurred right here in lovely Pennsylvania.

    Not one of them looks even remotely human. They should be enough to convince anyone to vote Democrat. :)

    Latest from Faux News and Drudge is that Romney and Pawlenty are out. drudge seems to think it will be Palin. Can't see that though with the trouble she is having at home.

    Maybe the facial expressions are because of this:
    In 1996, their son Gabriel Michael was born prematurely and lived for only two hours (a sonogram taken before Gabriel was born revealed that his posterior urethral valve was closed and that the prognosis for his survival was therefore poor). Karen Santorum wrote a book about the experience: Letters to Gabriel: The True Story of Gabriel Michael Santorum. In it, she writes that the couple brought the deceased infant home from the hospital and introduced the dead child to their living children as "your brother Gabriel" and slept with the body overnight before returning it to the hospital.

    :eek:

    Very interesting move. She's a generation younger than Biden, very capable and a rising star.

    And on a side note, she's easy on the eye :P

    This is going to make the VP debate very interesting.

    I also note that while she's pro life she is also a member of the NRA.:rolleyes:

    There is a contradiction here?

    The NRA hunt homeless people for sport on weekends, so it doesnt sit well with her claimed attitudes on the right to life.
