		<description>I respect Sen. Obama&#039;s choice, Sen. Biden will make a fine VP and its a definite plus for our country that his wife, Jill Biden, is a champion for education.  I think both these men understand the concept of priorities and have come together, putting egos aside and the politics of the primaries, so that they can lead the country into a better future.</description>

		<description>Obama and McCain are still neck to neck in the polls. Yes, I am a Hillary supporter, but the choice of Obama was made, but I really don&#039;t think Obama wants to win. If he choice Hillary that would be a sure chance he would become President. Not only picking a smart, strong, experienced VP, but bringing all Democrate&#039;s together. It would have of pushed his numbers up in the polls and would of made this one the most historical election of all time. Obama has been making the wrong decisions throughout his campaign and now the major decision of the VP spot he messed up too. With all the bull that was given to Americans from Obama, you would thing that people would open their eyes and see the truth. Obama picked the right slogan and you all BELIEVE IT! Obama has ran a sad campaign and has had to apologize throughout, What do think would happen in office?
Let&#039;s also remember Obama has already took two-three vacations during his campaign. If he can&#039;t take the heat now what will happen if his office. Bush was in Texas on vacation when information came in and about Sept 11th. Bush had taken more vacations then any president in history. I guess Obama is following Bush&#039;s foot steps.
Cocks standing together!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>For the Sen Clinton supporters, if you would please resort to reason for just a minute to consider this... how could Sen Obama consider her much less choose her as his running mate if she plans to run for president in 2012? Is the VP supposed to run against the standing president? I don&#039;t think so. Just imagine the chaos of the president and vice president squabbling it out in a primary campaign instead of doing their jobs running the country!

 Sen Obama is by no means snubbing Sen Clinton in any way. He would be standing in her way by trying to make her the VP. He respects her and honors her service enough to keep her as a viable candidate for future presidential elections.</description>

		<description>If you decided to vote for McCain due to a VP choice than you are wanting 4-8 years of the same thing we have now in this country...All I ask is that you DO NOT COMPLAIN about anything, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!!!

Do Not Complain about the economy, foreign policy, gas and food prices...just keeo your mouth shut.

Obama did not choose Clinton, dry your weeping eyes, you all knew he was not...I thing the same people would complain no matter who he picked.

Next you will complain about McCain&#039;s choice for his running mate, if you say your going to vote for him now same time next week.</description>

		<description>Biden ran for president before and didn&#039;t even make it to the final rounds.  Can you imagine having a VP, the second in line to the Presidency, whom even the Democrats have no faith in choosing as their presidential candidate?

Do you really want another 4 years of a younger president with no experience, and a much older VP who has been an active part of the political system?</description>

		<description>I always said, if he is stupid enough to pick a person that will bring him a five gallon bucket full of votes like these guys got in the primaries, then he doesn&#039;t have the brains it takes to run this country and therefore, we are better off with Mickey Mouse in the Oval Office.  He&#039;d be more qualified and had plenty more fans.  The truth of the matter is the Republicans strategy has worked.  They had the crossvoters get Hillary out, so they could deal with Osama later.  Now they will get what they want even if it is a president who can&#039;t even remember how many houses he owns...............Pitiful!</description>

		<description>Why Biden is a good pick:

A. The McCain camp is calling Biden Obama&#039;s toughest critic.  Good.  That&#039;s what Obama said he wanted.  Obama has repeatedly said he wanted a candidate who would tell him when he was wrong, and feed him good advice to the contrary.  Obama has also made many references to his admiration of Abraham Lincoln&#039;s cabinet picks. Lincoln also surrounded himself with some of his toughest critics.  This is what we want.  We don&#039;t want a continuation of cronyism in the White House.  We need independent thinkers like Obama and Biden.  This criticism by the McCain camp will backfire on them for these reasons.  You shouldn&#039;t criticize what the other candidate has already covered.  Someone over there isn&#039;t paying attention.

B.  Biden is widely known for being a straight-talker, a real straight-talker unlike what McCain has become.  

C. He is widely respected in the Senate and throughout Washington. 

D. He comes with very little baggage and controversy, while bringing experience and reputation to the ticket.

E. He is widely known and respected by leaders from around the world, which is exactly what Obama needs.

F. Biden led a humble, though brief, presidential campaign, but could not battle the rock star status of both Obama and Clinton.  He will bring that humbleness and humility to  the ticket.

G. Though Biden&#039;s name is not as well known as Clinton, all of these aforementioned qualities bring together the yin and the yang for this ticket, and that is ultimately a very respectable and admirable decision for Barack Obama.

		<description>Well, for everyone who claims that the VP has no power....that may be true. But do they have influence? Ask Dick Cheney that question!

As for Obama.....another flip-flop. Sure, the supporters will be the first to know, via text messages.....but no, they post it on-line first. Way to stick to your promises! I

As for Biden, I think he has more qualifications to be president than Obama. So it may backfire, because I think it may  really highlight the weaknesses that Obama has. And it certainly isn&#039;t the change he promised. 

That all being said, the thought of a McCain/Romney ticket will probably lead me to Obama/Biden on election day.</description>

		<description>No matter what choice Sen Obama made, millions would have been unhappy today. There is NO ONE that can make ALL Americans happy. Sen Obama is running for president of the United States, not president of far left democrats. I wish people would just shut up with all this non-sense about Sen Obama not being for change because he chose Sen Biden as his running mate. He wants to create a balanced administration using the best minds that US politics has to offer. He has stated this over and over. He also needs someone he can trust, and everyone has to agree that he couldn&#039;t possibly trust Hillary Clinton as a running mate. She wants to be president too bad to take second seat. 
Sen Obama is genuinely trying to do right by the American people. We all said we like him but he needs more experience. Well he can&#039;t magically gain that &quot;experience&quot; overnight, so he chose a running mate with that &quot;experience&quot; we claim we want. Stop being retarded America, please. Democrats need to make up their mind what we really want so that president Obama can lead us toward that goal. Ask yourself, isn&#039;t Biden better than McCain? If so, why complain?
Like it or not, we cannot abolish republicans. Nor can we disregard their views, needs and concerns.They are Americans.  In order for America to rise up out of this quagmire we&#039;re in, we need to work together. Obama and Biden have the position and power to make both republican and democratic voices heard.  
On the other hand, if we allow Obama and Biden to loose, this country will continue to be one-sided, with democratic ideals falling by the wayside as usual. Sen McCain has no desire or need to fulfill any democratic agendas. So don&#039;t allow face-value dislike, sexism, fear, or a silly text-message debacle to impede reasoning skills and the view of the big picture

		<description>It&#039;s interesting to see the &quot;change&quot; people claim to want a VP choice that&#039;s even younger and less experienced than Obama.  Remember that being president isn&#039;t primarily about creating powerful symbols; it&#039;s primarily about making policy choices and persuading Congress to go along with you.  Obama doesn&#039;t have the depth of policy knowledge or Congressional connections to do well in either.  Biden is an excellent choice because he has the knowledge and connections to carry out the policies of change that Obama sets.  Wake up, folks, this is about governing, not about electioneering.  Obama&#039;s first presidential decision has been bold and wise.  I&#039;m more enthused now than I was before.</description>

		<description>i have been very open about voting this year, but i have been more turned off by the hypocricy i see in obama supporters buy constantly hearing... &#039;ANOTHER OLD WHITE GUY.&#039; ... you are voting/picking obama because he is the man of change and not &quot;mcsame&quot; who is a republican that &quot;immitates&quot; pres bush, yet you make racist comments about my people.. white men,  you scream at the top of your lungs when white people say racist comments, yet you do the same.  that is called hypocricy.  i think obama is NOT the man of change as his 1st real presidential decision was picking sen biden.  he only picked him for political purposes and not what is best for the country if he really wants change... his pick was ALL POLITICAL.  obama is running his campain to get elected.  he is telling the public/media what everyone wants to hear to get elected.  he is just like mccain, but at least mccain doesn&#039;t hide behind a persona.  i was hoping for a great leader to help our country -- unfortunately we got two typical politicians.  i will for sure not vote for obama.  he is a greasy politician... &quot;its time for a change....&quot;  my butt!!</description>

		<description>the irony here is that the choice of biden is not so different from a choice made by another presidential candidate not so long ago.  biden brings experience, gravitas, and credentials that the candidate needs.  he rounds out what obama himself fails to bring to the table.  well eight years ago another candidate, George W. Bush, was faced with a similar problem.   his decision, bring in a washington insider.    some would argue that this is not so much of a change after all.</description>

		<description>This is the first major decision of Senator Obama?

We as Democrats are totally screwed this election cycle.  Senator Biden did not win one single delegate, and Hillary Clinton won almost 50% of the popular votes and delegates.

Does Senator Obama think he is smarter than the voting public.  Clearly he does.  But here is a clue for him, without Hillary he cannot win!

What a complete idiot he is to make this decision!  Can we stand another four years with an idiot in the White House?

NObama 2008, Clinton 2012!</description>

32 yrs a Democrat  	   	 August 23rd, 2008 2:15 am ET

With the economy so bad that the Mexicans are leaving, This pick doesn&#039;t help fixing our economy or confidence. I&#039;m voting McCain/Romney.

I think you are going to make a serious mistake when you vote for these people: It will be a third term Bush and why do you think the economy is so dreadful? NOT because of the democrats, it&#039;s because of this incompetent republican. And now you blame the wrong people! What kind of mind twist is that?</description>

		<description>Obama&#039;s people lied to us.  They said they&#039;d text us and we&#039;d be the first to know.  Then they went ahead and leaked it to the press 5 hours before issuing the text message.

And Joe Biden lied directly to the press when he tried throwing them off the scent... he pointedly denied that he would be the Vice Presidential pick.  It&#039;s one thing to stay quiet and non-committal, it&#039;s entirely another to overtly gainsay.  One is coy.  The other is downright dishonest.

I don&#039;t care for this Joe Biden&#039;s character very much already.</description>

		<description>GREAT!!  A VP candidate who also plagiarizes. Someone who loves to talk on-and-on without really saying much. A person who, as NBC journalist Chuck Todd pointed out, &quot;Loves the sound of his own voice.&quot;.

Let&#039;s not forget Biden has been in Washington 10 years longer than McCain has. Of course, Obama is all about changing Washington, right?
Obama said, &quot;The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result.&quot;

obama is a no more for change than his pick. actions speak louder than words. im reconsidering my vote. hillary should have been our candidate! now we have a liar and a cheat on one ticket.</description>

		<description>I have never seen so many sad people who is going through a Depression, but yet they are voting for McCain because of Hate….

Grow up and start acting like an adult…. this is not about you. This is about your children future. If you truly Love them you will vote Democrat. 

And to Lisa: Don&#039;t blame Obama, there are so many out there that said they will not vote for him because of the hate in their hearts. 

The Democrats can WIN this if we start thinking and come together.</description>

		<description>I have never seen so many sad people who is going through a Depression, but yet they are voting for McCain because of Hate....

Grow up and start acting like an adult.... this is not about you. This is about your children future. If you truly Love them you will vote Democrat.  

And to Lisa: Don&#039;t blame Obama, there are so many out there that said they will not vote for him because of the hate in their hearts. 

The Democrats can WIN this if we start thinking and come together.</description>

		<description>Biden PROS:  In the character dept., never a hint of scandal, devoted family man.   Smart, knows foreign policy, experienced, knows Washington, dedicated, can look at the &quot;big picture&quot; with all his political and life experience.
CONS: Ok, so he has been around for a while but why throw the baby out with the bath water?  Give him a chance. Obama knows he doesn&#039;t have the savvy foreign policy knowledge and Biden can offer his expertise.
Look, Biden can help Obama win by bring white males out to vote for Obama.  I am sooo tired of a Republican administration....we need a change and Biden gives the country a man with a brain who can articulate his message.   Can&#039;t some of you naysayers just slow down a minute and get over Biden&#039;s few negative comments about Obama during the primaries?  Get over it already.  I am voting Obama-Biden, and Biden&#039;s addition to the ticket tipped the scales for me.</description>

		<description>I am an Obama supporter---

HOWEVER.......................

I would think that the Obama campaign would have enough common sense to send out a text message at an appropriate time---
there is something not right about waking up hard working Americans at 2:30am with a text message---
between the hours of midnight and 6am should of been a time to let us hard working people sleep---

I think the Obama campaign needs to get in touch a bit more and get off their high horse---

I did sign up for the text message of my own free will--but honestly I never thought  they would be stupid enough to wake people up---

		<description>It&#039;s scary how many closet republicans have nothing better to do at 3am then to mouth off about the AWESOME choice Obama made for his VP.  

Answer me this if you will, why if, as you say, Biden is a bad choice, are you all whining about it?  All you republicans should be ecstatic!  But the reason you&#039;re all on here whining and making noise is because you&#039;re running scared.  

OBAMA / BIDEN 2008!!!!!!!  Goin&#039; all the way, Baby!!!!!</description>

		<description>Why are Democrats suckered into this right wing non-conversation?  Let the kooky Republicans continue to twist in the breeze, they have nothing of value to contribute.  They pretend to be disgruntled HRC supporters and act as if the world is about to counter-rotate if their god does not get to be the veep.  CRETENS, JUST CRAWL BACK UNDER THE ROCKS FROM WHICH YOU EMERGED.</description>

		<description>Tammy said; &quot;Obama-Biden won&#039;t be getting my vote. I now see no difference between McCain and Biden. I don&#039;t like Obama. Therefore, I will vote probably vote for McCain.&quot;

Lets get real Tammy, you were never going to vote for Barak Obama anyway and you know it.  So why don&#039;t you stop pretending.  You really don&#039;t care about the state of this union.  All you ever cared about was your selfish ideas.  Disloyal people like you aren&#039;t needed in November.  We want and need people who truly care about the sad way this country is going.  We want people who know that McSame is just four more years of the same failed policies, the same shameless lies and deceitfulness.  We need people that agree there is a mandate for change to turn this country around.

Go ahead and vote for McWar&amp;Violence, just don&#039;t forget to have your sons register for the draft, and be prepared to get your funeral wear together because you are going to need it with McWarMonger in office.  YOU, Tammy are nothing but a loser of a grandiose scale.  

Goodbye and good riddens...</description>

		<description>The reason that Obama didn&#039;t pick Hillary is because she is an extremely polarizing figure, and a divisive image in american politics. Joe Biden on the other hand has worked across party lines and has a lot of experience  (something hillary didn&#039;t have)

If you angry hillary voters want to hand this election over to another incompetent fool, then go ahead... just make sure you explain to your children and grandchildren (and yourselves for that matter) how you screwed them over out of anger.</description>
