Biden Auditions for VP

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., seemed to be auditioning to be Sen. Hillary Clinton's, D-N.Y., running mate at the conclusion of Thursday's Democratic presidential debate in South Carolina.

"Whoever wishes for Hillary is making a big mistake on the Republican side," said Biden when asked by NBC’s Brian Williams if he saw any winners on the stage other than himself.

Biden's complimentary remark was followed by his receiving a big kiss on the cheek from the former first lady when the debate was over.

The Delaware Democrat also took a thinly veiled swipe at Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and former Sen. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska, two far-left candidates participating in Thursday’s debate.

"Let's stop all this happy talk here about the use of force doesn't make sense," said Biden. "The use of force in Afghanistan is justified and necessary; in Darfur, justified and necessary; in the Balkans, justified and necessary. You guys can have your happy talk, there's real life."

Hillary is wasting her time and effort if she goes with Biden in 2008. Anyway if Obama's stars are in his favor, then Hillary and Biden are both wasting their time.

Taking Biden as VP would be like jumping in the water with a lead life jacket.

You've got it backwards.

Hillary would be a great running mate for Biden.

That'll be my ideal candidates. Hillary has the leadership and confidence to lead this country, Biden has the strategy and forth sight to assist her.

Obama? No way! He's too inexperienced to be even a VP.
