CNN

Comical.....Borat has chosen his puppet master, LOL. Bigger ego and more arrogant.....great pick Dimocrats..............the guy who also realized early on Obama is an empty suit, oh, the pain, my ribs are killin me

Biden is Borat's Cheney..........................

America must Vote McCain or join the insane

Go ahead, moderate this........

chuck hagel applauded this too....

Go ahead moderate........

McCain is going to congratulate him while his cronies stick a sign on his back.

i was really hoping for change.i'm glad all these old guys are so happy with each other.we'll never gain control of our government,now.biden is not change.

This is a Republican that gets my respect. It is rare but it can happen.

Thank you Mr. Lugar for showing your true colors.

Senator Lugar is a real gentleman whose whole political career has been illustrious. I lived in Indianapolis when he was its mayor in the 1960's, and although I've always been a registed Democrat, I have also admired Lugar.

Both career politicians who spent their career inside the Washington Beltway. Abraham Lincoln delivered on a promise to only serve one 2-year term in Congress, and also served a few terms in the rough-and-tumble Illinios legislature. Jesse Ventura for President!

Thanks Sen Luger for being a gentleman

Great choice-anyone voting for McCain and who-ever he picks as his running mate, get what they deserve and have no right to complain when they get the same of what we've had for the last 8 years…
This Obama/Biden ticket is a great balance no matter what the pundits and Republicans will be saying. Team work is what is needed to make what was once a great country, before Bush, great again

another washington politician that has destroyed our nation.they are all the same.biden is not change.just more of the same.

The race is on. It looks like it will be between two very rich guys and two not so rich guys. We already know what the two rich guys are capable of doing. I will be voting for the two guys closer to my income bracket...one of the lower ones.

the Obama/Biden ticket is going to generate SO much excitement! Change AND experience will be a great leadership duo to lead this country from the mess of Bush

Dick Lugar is one of the very few Republicans who has the slightest bit of common sense and decency.

Boehner could use some diplomacy lessons from Lugar....

its nice to see one republican who can come out and say something nice about obamas pick and keep his opinions on the high road
kudos to you Dick Lugar for that for their will be few
Biden will be good for Obama and people should not be so quick to judge him for not picking Hillary
perhaps Hillary and Obama talked about a more forceful role in his cabinet
like attorney general or secretary of state or something to do with health care.hillary would bring a lot to any vital role and maybe thats what *she wanted* when she lost in the primaries not vp
Biden is a good pick

Senator Lugar has shown Sen McSame what graciousness is all about. Senior Sen McSame should have shown some deferance towards senior Sen Biden. Not McSame!!!

Well, well, well. "Change we can count on" Looks like the "change" is the ever changing positions.

Yes will certainly go out and vote. All registered democrats should go out and vote – VOTE for John McCain

Registered Democrat for McCain

God Bless you Mr. Lugar. You are one of the Americans who have vision and not one of those John Boehners

Thank you, Senator Lugar, for your candor. We will need it.

The louder Biden's detractors are, the more afraid they sound.

OBAMA-BIDEN 08/2012
BIDEN-OBAMA 2016/2020!!!

sen.richard lugar and sen.chuck hagel is gonna b workin in an obama administration!!!!!

Hillary is a true blue Democrat. She wants this country to thrive again and will set aside her desires to insure it will be a Democrat as President. I wanted Hillary as president and still do. I am not a true blue Democrat, I still feel Obama will be bad for this country. Which brings into question, my faith in Hillary. Not all Democrats are good people. Not just any Democrat will do. I will still write her name on my ballot, be it wasted or not. We have had Republicans in office a majority of the time and ROE v Wade is still a law. McCain does not need the money anymore then JFK needed the money. New money is the most dangerous. I bet Obama wants his profile on Mt. Rushmore, as the first black president. Obama is in it for the glory and the money, the money it brings later. God help us if he wins…

That's very gracious. This IS how politics should be, an intelligent debate, respectful disagreement, etc. Not the mean-hatefilled-fear-mongering the GOP & McCain have been doing.

Its TRUE that MOST Independents loathe negative ads, and here is McCain being Mr. Destroy! What comes around goes around, McCain!

COME ON DNC START LOOKING INTO MCCAIN'S CLOSET!

I like Senator Lugar for his kind words for the Obama/Biden ticket.

Obama/Biden 2008!

It is time for a change people! Those of you who vote for McCain are asking for more years of the same Bush policies! We will never solve our problems that way. Open your eyes about McCain people and do your homework before just blowing off Obama like you do!

hurray!
the time has come for america to be restored!

Why wouldn't a senior GOP supporter thank biden and obami-nation for that matter ?

The GOP know they have just been handed an early christmas present from the democratic lack luster ( smoke and mirrors ) candidate of ( some ) of our democrat partys choice !

Obami-nation/bi-don't 08 ! I think ....NOT !

Signed: Democrat Going On Hiatus till 2012

The only reason to not vote for Obama is race. Ok in 5, 4 ,....,1 ; let's hear from the "I had a negro friend once...I'm not a bigot."

It's nice to see that there still is some commity in the Senate. Senator Luger is a good example of how politics should work–people with different views of how to deal with our pressing issues, but with respect and good will for those on the other side of the aisle. Let's hope and pray a new era is coming in which both parties truly work together for the common good.

Great! wtg Sen Lugar...now all the Sen. has to do is create bipartisan support from his constituents...thumbs up

also, someone tell Joe from CNN up in Denver to change that shirt its hurting my eyes...

Republican Sen, Lugar is only one of many whohas come to realize that the GOP is o it's way out. Thank you Sen. Lugar.

I agree!!!!
2 men/2 HOUSES!!!!
Obama/Biden 08!!!!

I agree with you Jo Anne K.

DId you read Biden's comments in the PRIMARIES, many months ago? ""Who among us is going to pick up the phone and immediately interface with Putin and tell him to lay off Georgia because Saakashvili is in real trouble." Talk about good judgment, good foresight, and a sense of what's really up in the world (and compare to the guy who thinks Iraq and Pakistan share a border...)

Too all of the Pumas out there for Hillary Clinton, please shut up and go back to the hole you came from. We don't need 8 more years of Bush 3. OBAMA 2008 people. Don't be stupid.

Make it right, all right.

Communism will be a big change.

I laugh so hard when I see stupid comments on here about how PUMA and Hillary supporters are just "republicans" trying to cause trouble. You're darned tootin I'm a republican....NOW. I tore up my Democratic registration card last month and re-registered republican. The way I look at it, our "democratic" congress has done NOTHING to improve matters and Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean have hijacked the democratic party . They have forced a non-viable candidate upon the voters who obviously wanted Hillary and caused the party to implode. So, having said that, This NEW republican will be voting ALL republican this year in the hopes that we survive another four years until the democratic party does some serious housecleaning and re-vamping. As long as Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean think they run this country I will fight tooth and nail to prove them wrong!

I will vote Jo Anne for Obama/Biden

I'm also very pleased at the selection for VP. I think this is a good match up. with a Democratic majority in congress, it would finally be time to get things done right. Congratulations to Sen. Biden.

That's too bad Biden would've been better in the Senate.
To bad Obama couldn't have found someone more non-traditional. Wesley Clarke type, perhaps a Republican Senator.

I think it is wonderful that people are congrat Biden. He is a good man, He would make a good VP with Hillary, What a team that would make. Does Biden really want to carry Obama through his whole
Presidency?? He is going to have to, as Obama can never lead this country.

Why would you call someone to congratulate them on winning when the first thing you did was put out a negative ad about something that they said while they were competing for the same position? Is it me or is this one more peg on McCain's board. "Straighttalk McCain" has taken so many twists and turns. Good thing his express is not riding on the Grapevine or he would have been in the ocean long ago.

John McCain will call Biden, funny what hypocracy, after McCain realeased a negative ad prior to calling Biden, McCain campaign is so worried about the Movement that they don't under stand basic protocol.
Richard Lugar of Indiana will endorse the OBAMA-BIDEN ticket, OBAMA was and is very focus. Biden will allow Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada, Colorado and New Hampshire along with Michigan to go Democratic in 2 months. Get on board America, the Movement is coming to a state near you!

OBAMA-BIDEN N 08

I trust Obama judgment. This is a formidable duo that will give America back its standing in the world and create better future for all americans.

This will shut the doors for those who call McCain old and senile, well Biden is no better, and has had health problems. Obama wanted to season his running for president with someone close to McCain to help him, cause he needs it. How sad. This inexperience young man is aspiring to be something he is not. God help us if he should even get close to winning. It would be a sad day for America.

To follow up on my other post, McCain better pick an equivalent VP running mate or his ticket won't be able to withstand the high power Democrat ticket that's gearing up to steam roll right over McCain straight into the White House. If McCain picks pretty boy Romney, a Governor with no federal government experience, he has put a flimsy team together and sabotaged his campaign. Romney vs. Biden would be the ultimate comedy. Romney would certainly approach a debate with "what in the heck am I doing?" A governor vs. senior Congressman who chairs Foreign Policy Committee? A joke!

Biden came from poor family, still takes train to his home in Delaware (not a private jut like the McCain's) and he is definietly one of us!! I love this guy. He doesn't need to pretend to undestand working people issues like Mit and McCain because he is one of us.

Great choice Obama, now Obama and Biden can give government back to the people. Maybe Dick Lugar should have been the Repub pick for president. It's about time one of them acted like an adult. Now let's watch the Clintons self destruct doing everything they can to disrupt the inevetible. Folks say hello to the next President and Vice President of the United States Mr. Barack Obamo and Mr. Joe Biden.

That just may have given Obama Indiana.

Yep, McCain will call...after someone wakes him up, tells him which house he is in and fetches his $500 shoes.

Wow! A republican who has praise for his colleagues in the Senate. How refreshing. Maybe we can see an end to the gridlock if we elect Obama.

It is beginning to feel like change is in the air. God Bless America!

Senator Lugar and Senator Biden have years of exceptional service together on committee level and on the Senate floor. They are friends as well as colleagues and both are extraordinary Senators. Senator Lugar's praise of Senator Biden is not your typical hollow Washington rhetoric. If Lugar praises a Democrat, it's sincere, earned and well placed. His praise of Biden certainly doesn't bode well for McCain. Lugar is a highly respected, powerhouse Republican.

This is great news for America. Senator Lugar (R) ready to embrace
the change the Democrats will bring in January 2009. The bloggers
spewing Obama take note, this is the beginning of a New Frontier.

Lets see, attack him with an ad, then call him up to say congrats!

Lugar is a good man - one of the Republicans I still respect.

The great thing about picking Biden is that none of the ones who weren't pick can hold a grudge. No one can say that Joe Biden hasn't paid his dues.

I can't be happier for the Democratic Party.Sen. Biden is a man who speaks up and tells people exactly the way it is.He has loads of experience.Yes,he's been in Washington for several years,that doesn't mean he agrees with every politician in that city.He doesn't sugar coat things and ride the fence.When he speaks,people listen and people understand.Everyone "please" go out and vote in Nov.It's our constitutional right and privilege as citizens of this great country who enjoy freedoms that people in other countries would and do die for.After the last 8 yrs.,we need to give the Democratic nominees a chance to make things right.

Lots of respect from everyone. Biden is pure gold for the ticket.

Got my Bo-Joe working in '08

Go Bo-Joe

The only possible way that Obama had of gaining back many Clinton supporters would have been to choose her as his running mate. This guarantees that they will not vote for him. I have been a lifelong Democrat but will be sitting this election out. Whoever wins, it will be a disaster and I will have no part of it. The choices for this campaign cycle range from bad (Obama) to worse (McCain.) The sad part is that those who are presidential candidates should be Americas best and brightest. If this is the best we can do we are doomed.

Theres a surprise.....NOT!! Just another Republican trying to create spin for his own state against OBAMA.

The ATTACKs are working so well that Republicans are resulting in compliments and overstated prediction regarding the DNC next week. Its AWESOME!! The Right is on full defensive.

ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!! Its Working.

Just say no to John "TPII" McSame!!

P.S. TPII (pronounced Tippi) = Takes Pride In Ignorance

I am so disappointed he picked Biden. I am no longer sure I am going to vote for him. The VP choices are so important this season. I will have to wait and see. I am a disappointed Hoosier.

Yes, praising Obama for his pick and thanking God that he didn't pick Hillary.

Sen Lugar, you are a republican so you need to support John McCain. Barack is also using your image in some of the ads. What is this? It is important for all republicans and independents to unite and ensure that Jon has a field day and becomes our President. Vote John McCain

I'm glad Obama FINALLY announced his decision – the constant "who will he pick" headlines had about as much suspense as a Fox reality show.

I'm an average american – and I'm flat out disgusted with the whole political process. Obama, McCain, Clinton...none of them have any idea on how to get America back on it's feet and are all equally unfit to be president. Yes, I know Clinton is not in the running anymore and her "supporters" are contemplating backing McCain out of spite. That's fine, but doing things out of spite does not make for a good president. We as a nation should be better than that.

I only hope and pray whoever our next president is, that they will listen to and take care of "we the people." Otherwise, I wouldn't be surprised if an "Independant" became the next president of the United States.

Joe Biden is a smart choice by Obama.
This indicates Obama is not only level headed and intelligent, but, wise too. Unlike the GOP candidate, Obama has worked hard to earn his wealth, he is highly educated, his IQ is high, he has good judgement, he is a consensus builder, he is a good manager and knows how to utilize his staff's experience and knowledge to serve the best interest of the people of USA. I hope people think wisely and don't vote blindly for the GOP candidate.

Thank you, Senator Lugar,

Maybe this guy should be the Repub pick for president. It's about time one of them acted like an adult. Now let's watch the Clintons self destruct doing everything they can to disrupt the inevetible. Folks say hello to the next President and Vice President of the United States Mr. Barack Obamo and Mr. Joe Biden.

Obama/Biden 08 and 12

And I share the extreme disappointment of 18 million Hillary supporters, who must be as frustrated as I am right now at this snub,not only to her, but to all of us. Biden is a nice man and a good Senator, but the choice of the people was Hillary. Obviously, Obama doesn't care, and hopes we are going to come around. McCain is an AWFUL choice for President, but I'm not certain Obama is a lot better with his changes since the primaries. Can we have a do-over please?

I would rather be friends with a rattle snake than with lugar.

Nice to see a republican support the ticket. To the Clinton supporters who plan to vote for McCain: Obama & Clinton political beliefs mirrored each other approximately 90% of the time. So the only reason you won't vote for Obama is because you are racially bias. Grow up or you will be drafted when McCain gets in office and he will send you to Iraq, Iran, and then Syria on multiple deployments. Is 4 or 8 more years of misery worth the color of Obama's skin.

Joe Biden is a well respected person. Teaming up with Barack Obama makes the two of them a powerful campaign duo. As McCain has only negativity left in his campaign quill, look for more of the same.

I would be thankful if I was not choosen for this job! Both sides have a tough job ahead no matter who wins and frankly, they are receiving a steaming pile from the outgoing President.

The GOP may congratulate Biden but just watch. They are too negative and America is sick of it! McCain is cunning and dishonest and totally out of touch with Americans. He can't feel our pain and we are sick and tired of hearing about war and his being a POW. McCain is not experienced to be President – Obama is!

Go Obama

The selection of Biden has ckearly demonstrated Obama's
poor judgement and lack of experience in presidential politics.

Good choice, Hillary didn't want to be on the ticket. Biden will be great and he's perfect for the job.

Obama/Biden 08

Now we are not voting for Obama. He lost our families votes when he did not pick Hillary.

NOW FOR McCAIN

I’m not an Obama supporter, nonetheless, I felt relieved of the fact that Joe Biden is to be his VP running mate.

The main reason I say this is, should McCain lose, there will still be someone with good experience at the leadership.

From one home owner to a regualar Joe, welcome onboard.

Obama/Biden 08

My whole family are sworn Democrats, but like very many Hoosiers, we've always made an exception to vote for Lugar. I'm proud to be represented by a man who is probably the most bipartisan politician currently serving in government. Too bad he wasn't in the running!

Congrats Joe,

Welcome onboard. Can't wait to see you here in Ohio.

With Biden as VP, anything with a pulse or strings could be the Secretary of State.

I'm glad for Biden and think he's a good pick but I'm still voting for McCain

I just do not see how Obama will get along with Bieden. Bieden is one who will speak up and not stand quietly by when Obama continues his inexperienced remarks. Bad marriage that Obama was forced to make because of his total lack of experience.

If elected, we can expect many disagreements in the white house.
the chemistry here will explode.

I concur with Senator Lugar–Congrat Joe, welcome aboard!

Obama-Biden 08

Oh, and one more thing, screw Hillary and all her rabid cultists for trying to hold the VP position hostage by not voting for Obama. My family and all my friends will never support Hillary in any position she tries to run for, we've lost any respect we ever had for her. Also, Biden is infinitely more qualified for VP than Hillary will ever be.

If it Biden that means it the "end of the Clinton era", thank god.

No more Bill and Hillary show.

Who cares if the muslim is president, has to be better than the Clintons.

I would think that Hillary will lose her spot in congress next election. Most democrats will lose their seats with a approval rating of 8%.

Now let the real history of Bill Clinton be told.

McCain 08, the only real American running for president.

Kind of an odd backwards complement.. I like Biden but wish he had picked Bayh. Interesting.. I guess its what we will see over the next couple of weeks. And then when Obama loses who will they blame?

Lugar is a good guy, and more than likely one of the 100 or so Republicans that aren't going to attend McCains coronation.

This is the change Obama was talking about? Biden's views most closely matches that of Senator McCain's, not Obama's. Barack, the good Senator Biden voted for the Iraq war, not against it. Biden also criticized Obama's inexperience during the debates and said he wasn't ready for the presidency yet so what's he going to say now, that all of a sudden he's ready. Biden is part of the old Washington political circle. There's no change here. Bye Barack, you lost.

Obama's message has been about unity from the beginning. Unity doesn't mean snubbing half the democratic party by picking Biden over Clinton. This just says to me Obama is a hypocrite and that once in a position of power he's going to do whatever he wants. Unity means COMPROMISE!!!

WELL THANKS DICK, AND WISH U SFE JOURNEY TO TBILISI. ALSO WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK AND HELP LEAD THE BIPARTISAN EFFORTS WHEN OBAMA BECOMES THE PRESIDENT. WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE WILLING TO WORK ACROSS PARTY LINE AND BRING THIS COUNTRY WERE IT NEEDS TO BE.

NOW TO THE POINT FOR THE NO GOOD SAYERS WITH THE CLINTON SYNDRUM GET OVER IT OR THIS COUNTRY WILL SERIOUSLY BE IN TROUBLE. THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A FUN THING TO BE DRAGING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND ITS NOMINEE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS? ITS SAYING BUY BUY TO THE AMERICAN ANYTIME FROM NOW. THIS WORLD SHOULD BETTER WAKE UP THROUGH AMERICA, BUT IF WE ARE NOT CAREFULL SOME BUNCH OF IDIOTS WILL CHOSE THEIR SELF STUPIDITY TO TRUMP THE GRACE THAT GOD HAS CREATED ALL HUMANS TO BE EQUAL AND THAT.
SO DEMOCRATES LET US BE VERY CAREFULL AND BURRY OUR DIFFERENCES BY COMING TOGETHER FOR ONE GOOD COMMON PORPOSE. THE ISSUE OF IF IT WAS HILLARY I WILL VOTE , BUT BECAUSE SHE IS NOT THE ONE I WILL VOTE FOR MC CAIN IS THE MOST BUFUNISH WAY OF THINKING. JUST TO BE CLEAR IF IT HAD BEEN EITHER IT WILL HAVE STILL BEEN BETTER THAN VOTING REPUBLICAN MORRONS. OBAMA/CLITON OR OBAMA/BIDEN IS STILL THE BEST. SO BE WISE DEMOCRATES OR THE ONES THAT CHOOSE TO BE IDIOTS WILL REGRATE THEIR CHOISES. DONT LET THE RNC FOOL UR LITTLE BRAINS.

OBAMA/BIDEN.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE CHANCE WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE AMERICA SO THAT WE CAN FACE THE REAL CHALENGES OF THE 21ST. CENTURY WORLD .
AND JUST A NOTE FOR THE CLINTONITES DONT BE DISSAPOINTED CUS I KNOW OBAMA HAS NOT DROP THE CLINTONS, HE'S GAT SOMETHING FOR THEM IN THE ADIMINISTRATION THAT WILL DO ALOT OF JUSTICE TO EVERYONE.

OBAMA/ BIDEN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!123

"In the summer of 2006, as he was publicly mulling the race, Biden set off a controversy over comments he made about Indian Americans.

"I've had a great relationship [with Indian Americans]," Biden said. "In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking."

I am A dem. from a way back and when Obama was the nomoniee for the dem. I was voting for McCane as Obama has not not got the experrance to be commander and cheif but know I am voting for Obama because he still has no experance but Bindon has all of the experance that Obama dose not have and Obama will gain the experiance that is needed. Obama could not have picked a better running mate and Obama needs to head what Biden says and rely on Bindens experance

To quote Julia Roberts: "Big mistake. Big. Huge!"

I was just waiting to see if he continued to disrespect Hillary.

Now I know.......now, just one more Democrat for McCain!

I agree with Dick Lugar, when talking about Evan Bayh, he says "I believe he will continue to have widespread support for higher office during many years ahead." Bayh would make a great VP pick for 2012.

Well, I will continue to donate and pay down Hillary's debt.
I will then begin giving my support to John McCain, the moderate.
I voted for dems my whole life, no I'm not a republican.
Let me be very clear, for me my problem with BO STARTED with his snotty comment "You're likable enough, Hillary." In fact, for a few weeks I was convinced that I was the only Hillary supporter who saw so much bias in the media and nasty comments from the BO campaign. It just got sooooooo bad!

As the campaign progressed I realized I was not alone, and I was not wrong. Biden, what a joke. BO just admitted he has NO experience.
He will for sure lose in Nov.
Go McCain!

I am always amazed, when Republicans say something, that isn't venomous and hateful. Thanks Dick.

Great choice considering this is NEW politics. Select someone almost as old as McCain. Select someone with eons of Washington service. And select someone more qualified than yourself. Way to go Barry. You really know how to CHANGE things, don't you.

Barack Obama proves that he lacks experience and insight to run this country. Why don't he go all the way, instead of choosing Joe Biden why just try Donald Trump or Larry King on the ticket. 5 votes from our household will be gone. Thanks to Obama.

Wow...

All that Hollywood styled hype for Biden??

Obama and the Dems are taking themselves
WAY TOO SERIOUS!

My opinion of Barack just went up.In choosing Biden as VP,Obama has shown that he is not afraid to surround himself with independent thinkers who might be critical of him. I continue to believe we,as a country would be in different circumstances today, if Pres. Bush had been willing to open himself to differing opinions spoken candidly by people around, instead of surrounding himself with "yes men".

If I had doubt before about Barack judgement in any areas, I no longer do since this choice shows he can put "best for us" ahead of himself.

Biden — the perfect foil for Palin!

its nice to see one republican who can come out and say something nice about obamas pick and keep his opinions on the high road
kudos to you Dick Lugar for that for their will be few
Biden will be good for Obama and people should not be so quick to judge him for not picking Hillary
perhaps Hillary and Obama talked about a more forceful role in his cabinet
like attorney general or secretary of state or something to do with health care.hillary would bring a lot to any vital role and maybe thats what *she wanted* when she lost in the primaries not vp
Biden is a good pick

So did people get the texts before the news was sent out?????/ NO. You have to love Obama and he say one change and do another.

Biden has been in DC YEARS long than McCain. WOW so if you O backers say McCain has been around to long then you must want Biden to go too right???/ Oh that is right you are flip flopper too.

This is very funny. Where is the change???? Seems like the same old same old stuff that happens in DC.

Thanks Senator Lugar

That was nice words from a republican. Great that people can show respect for eachother even if in different parties.

Watch McCain pick a woman for his VP and run away with the presidency.

Ralph Nader said that Obama isn't stupid enough to pick Bayh or Biden. I thought that Obama would be stupid enough, and I was right.

I am a lifelong democrat, but I will not vote for someone who was never my choice for president.

If Hillary Clinton's name is on the ballot, I will vote for her, if not, I will write it in.

Obama just sunk any chance he had at becoming president. The only way I would have voted for him is if he had picked Hillary for VP. For the first time in my life I am going to vote for a Republican. What an idiotic choice Obama. The Obama campaign just sunk any chance it had at unity. I am going to be smiling when he loses, and I am going to campaign my heart out for McCain so look out. Democratic women should vote for McCain in protest. He only picked Biden, because he and his campaign is sexist!

Obama is the "change" candidate? Biden supported the war in Iraq, Biden supported funding the troops when Obama did not, Biden is part of the wise foreign policy establishment. What does the selection of Biden say about Obama? Does Obama now think his opposition to the war in Iraq was wrong? Or does Obama think Biden was wrong on the most important issue of the day? Will Obama totally ignore Biden's foreign policy advice, or will Obama allow Biden to lead him into another Iraq?

I think the 3 am call was masterful irony. Remember when the big question was who do you want to answer the 3am call to the White House?

Well, America and Joe Biden answered the call. WE are the people represented by barack Obama and Joe Biden who need to answer the call.

I love it! The 3 am call!

congrat senator biden.
Obama/biden 08

Who is CALLING me a RACIST?????

Biden supported the war.
Biden supported the Surge.
Biden is polarized and opinionated, sometimes controversial.
Biden has been in Washington for a very long time.

Biden is very similar to the former Presidential Candidate who dropped out a few months ago.
Except he didnt get any delegates when he ran.
Hmmmmm....

18 million voters again were slapped in the face by this arrogant campaign and the DNC who were furious with Hillary primarily for her support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and a few other issues where her votes were more moderate.

But the better choice is the white man, I guess.

The Obama folks are gonna have their hands full preventing Biden from overshadowing Obama. This is one of those cases where it really is unfortuante the ticket is not reversed. The senior, experienced Biden along with the junior, aspiring Obama could have been a killer ticket and administration.

Lugar is the first of many congratulations to come. These two guys need more than congrats, of course, and let's see how the party pulls together to get everyone needed to ensure victory into the tent.

Biden is an excellent legislator, debater, thinker; no problems there. It's an interesting exercise, still, to think about who might have been the choice had Russia not invaded Georgia last week, if gasoline prices had kept climbing, had the nation been totally overcome by another Katrina-level humanitarian/government disaster. I know Biden is not a one-note expert, but there his selection is somewhat of-the-moment, given his international expertise and ability to talk tough while smiling. So, for now, let's get going-

Obama secured the election for McCain. Thank you Mr. Change!

The ticket is now solid. The other choices were good but this is the winner. Senator Clinton should head the health incentive in the Senate; Baye, Richardson, and Kane should be in the cabinet as long as they all can be replaced with democrats.

Biden is a loser all the way, his idea to bust up Iraq into three nations was maybe the dumbest idea ever uttered in the halls of Congress and that's saying something!

Senator Baye should be in the cabinet as long as he will be replaced by a Democrat

Those that are crying about experience now have it. He's got several more years under his belt than McCain does so I think McCain can now stop with that whining.
