All Biden has to say is that he was talking about the old John McCain not the John McCain we have today who is a puppet for the Karl Rove/Rush Limbaugh Republicans. I think most Americans agree that there is no sign of the "maverick" John McCain anywhere anymore. It's sad but true. The Obama/Biden team consists of 2 guys who understand that what Americans want is to know that if they work hard they have a chance at the American Dream. They understand because that's how they got to where they are.

There isn't another person in this race that has more foreign policy experience than Joe Biden. This was the smartest move Obama could have made. When Hillary Clinton steps up to the Convention podium and tells her supporters that they are the key to either electing a strong Democratic ticket to the White House or the key to voting in John McCain and setting women's rights back 40 years, the Hillary Clinton supporters will suddenly get why Hillary Clinton supports Barack Obama and will be a huge ally of his in the US Senate, where we still need as many good guys as possible.

Now we're assured of both judgement and experience! Of course, it's time for McCain to go negative once again. Believe me when I say that the American people are going to be so turned off by McCain's negativity coupled with his total lack of substantive policies to help our country move forward that they'll run, not walk, to their voting booth this coming November to vote for Obama/Biden!

Biden, just a few months ago..."OBama does not have the experience to be President". Would you serve with John McCain...."I would be honored to serve with John McCain". Enough said!! McCain all the way!!!!!!!

Positive about McCain?

Um........

hmmm...............

Nope.

Great choice. Who cares about Biden's past comments! Obviously there are still some Hillary supporters that are very salty right now. We cannot afford another 4 years of failure. I voted for Biden in the veepstakes despite the earlier comments he said about Obama. This is politics folk. Wake up! Biden was the best choice and as for Hillary, she would have been a good choice, but her hubby Bill has a dark past and I'm sure they were not willing to give up certain records. Obama/Biden 08

The first of many more to come. This pick emphazises Obama's lack of experience and brings it to the forefront.

Now, how do the Catholics justify voting for a VP on a pro-choice ticket?

Of even greater importance is the difference in Biden voting for the war and funding it. This will be something harder for the Obama campaign to address.

Many want to point out negative ads that will forthcoming but, some of these are going to ring the bell.

Lastly, how often is Obama going to apologize for gaffs made by Biden?

"I am glad Biden was the VP pick. I was hoping he will be the one. These so call HILARY'S people forget when McCain's people call her a "Bitch" and all McCain did was laugh. They think voting for McCain is going to hurt Obama...No, it is going to hurt them."

As a matter of curiosity, how can it hurt them WITHOUT hurting him? Unless, of course, you think there will be retribution against any dissenters?

Gee, if Obama has 'no harsher critic' than Joe Biden (according to McCain) and yet Joe Biden has been won over by Obama, then I'm on board too! Biden is smart, experienced, and straight talking. If he has stood up for Obama, then he knows what he is doing- Obama is the right man for the job. McCain, on the other hand, has proven he is not so smart, and is anything but straight talking.

You realize Sarah that if we don't elected someone other than John Bush McCain, there may not be a 2012. You are either for change (Obama) or for the status quo (not Obama). You don't have to answer me, you have to tell you kids why they live in a police state with no future, scared of their government and forced to wear oxygen masks because the air is too polluted to breath.

Foolish pick showing Obama's very poor judgment.While he is slipping in the polls, and needs to pick a VP from a battleground state to help him win, he selects someone from Delaware?

How is showing Joe Biden's actual wonds "negative"?

and awmahn,

Clinton 18 million votes 1900 delegates
Biden 18 votes 0 delegates
Democrats rejected this guy in te primaries.

I'm not impressed with the pick. But I can't deny that Obama's campaign has been very insightful and run a clever campaign to date. Maybe they're expecting to effect the Catholic vote among the significant number of Catholics who used to be Dems but are now GOP.

Obama picking Biden is like Bush picking Chenny, so OBAMA = BUSH in experience. Beware

- A McCain Democrat

I wonder how excited all of Obama's young supporters are today?

The same old negative ads. Mcsame has nothing new to offer so it's the same old baloney. His ads and views are as old as mcsame himself. He is unable to say anything good about himself so all he can do is spew lies and innuendos.
VOTE FOR OBAMA!! VOTE FOR CHANGE!!!

Senator Biden is a good pick...He will help sink the Obama ticket. For all of you who have no better post than name calling, shame on you. Senator Obama wants to run a different kind of campaign, so stop being negative toward your fellow citizens. For those of you who think that Senator Obama choose a man of experience, I agree. Senator Biden voted for war in Iraq, because he knew it was right for the country, with the information we had at the time. Senator Biden's experience knew that the surge in Iraq would work. But it was Senator McCain who took the lead - Senator Biden was a follower. Actually, the democratic ticket is upside down. Senator Biden should be at the top, and Senator Obama should be the running mate. Funny how things work out. America, even the running mate knows that Senator Obama is not ready for the job of President of the United States of America.

To me, it shows Obama could not fill in the (wide gap) lack of any foreign policy expierence. Biden referred to Obama in different ways that were not helpful to Obama. I can see why the McCain camp put out that statement. Biden is in a box now. He will not help Obama carry Michigan. The GOP has to be thrilled. The dems should have picked a woman since Obama is losing that group. She had expierence, didn't she? I quess the boys will be boys afterall. Biden should be on top of the ticket. The media beat the text message. Kind of funny on that. IMO.

Who is really surprised by Obama's choice? It is just like Bush picking Cheney.

Obama is grossly under-qualified and Biden doesn't make up for it.

Democrat for McCain '08

You spoke volumes my friend.
