Joe Biden's Web site now redirects to Barack Obama's.
Joe Biden's Web site now redirects to Barack Obama's.

DENVER (CNN) - In cyberspace, Joe Biden’s presidential campaign once had its own Web address where the Delaware senator made his own case for why he should be the Democratic nominee.

Type in Biden’s Web address now, and Barack Obama’s presidential campaign Web site appears, featuring a request for visitors to "Take a minute to share a personal note welcoming Joe to our movement for change.”

Of course, in return for that personal note, well-wishers are greeted with a slightly less personal appeal for campaign cash.

Senator Barrack Obama choosing Senator Joe Biden is a wise choice considering the positive attributes he brings to the ticket in November. Ofcourse the Republicans will use their negative machinery of disinformation to spine all the trash from their department of dirty activities to focus on non issues as usual. God Bless the USA and may the two BARRACK AND JOE WIN THE NOVEMBER POLLS.

That shows a great attention to detail in running a campaign. Which shows that they are intelligent and see the big picture. Which may be what we need for the country at this point when everything is such a mess.

"Take a minute to share a personal note welcoming Joe to our movement for change.”

A "movement for change".

Now this is a joke.

On the one hand you have Obama who is a rookie senator and who has voted straight down party lines when he hasn't voted "present". How is that change???

On the other hand you have Biden who is about as entrenched into Washington politics as it gets. Again, how is that change????

Obama is NOT going to change how Washington works. Bush will be gone and he will be replaced by somebody worse.

And this means what?

Doesn't it sort of makes sense to link to Obama's Wed page?

Ever see the movie The Blob? Obama's campaign is a lot like that movie. The blob rolled over everything in it's path and absorbed it.

This is one politician (Joe Biden) I have much respect for, he's well spoken and family oriented. I think this ticket is the prefect ticket to bring American together and once again be respected throughout the world stage.

Gail AL.   August 23rd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

It's politics as usual. Two big mouths don't make a president. By the way how does Caroline Kennedy fit in the picture vetting for v.p. she should keep her 2 cents at home, in her own mansion.

Did someone actually get paid to report this jaw dropping news and write this striking article?

hope took a hit,today..... :(   August 23rd, 2008 4:45 pm ET

i welcomed him to the ticket,then told them i was withholding any more donations,until i see some better judgement on change.if they join the mccain camp on the lo-road.i may become disenfranchised with this supposedly 'new' kind of politics.i'm not a hillary supporter either,so dont blame it on her.i wanted wesley clark, who has the same integrity that obama has shown throughout, until this point.general clark has more to offer and he's definitely not an insider.he is a better expert on europe and the military.he's a bigger hero than mccain will ever be thought of as being.while mccain was languishing in the hanoi hilton,clark was leading troops in battle on the ground sustaining 4 gunshot wounds yet still direct his troops until they overcame their viet cong attackers.beat that granpa mcsimpson!

AWESOME is the only word to say how Obama MANAGES his presidential campaign. This is indicative of the thorougness and attentitve to detail you want in a Manager of the United States. McCain is trying hard to follow in his footsteps as is the errant Pres. Bush but they just can't seem to hit the mark. This is why America MUST pull together and give this DEM ticket the chance it deserves to right the wrongs that have been done to us by Bush and 95% with Bush McCain. You think the economy is bad now? Put lying, know nothing, can't remember how many houses McCain in the White House for the next 4 years. Obama is the manager, leader and President we need for this country. Get out and vote!! OBAMA/BIDEN 08

"Of course, in return for that personal note, well-wishers are greeted with a slightly less personal appeal for campaign cash."
What, Mark Preston? Did you think Presidential Campaigns were run on hope and rainbows and lollypops?
Don't act indignant and shocked when a political campaign asks you for money. You think McCain sends out e-mails and makes videos so people will send him gumdrop smiles and happy unicorn kisses? NO, HE WANTS MONEY TOO.
Sheesh.

keith johnson   August 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Is this suppose to be a surprise? Is there any candidate in any race at anytime that does not ask for donations? The Hipocracy of this article is laughable.

alvino   August 23rd, 2008 4:18 pm ET

I really think Barack and Joe will be able to work together for all Americans.
I wonder if Mitt Romney's fluff will overcome Joe Biden's substance.

Robert   August 23rd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Barack is so greedy and slimy! I will NEVER vote for you...you are WRONG for this country!

Ronald   August 23rd, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Yep this is really news, CNN has become a tabloid. They don't report the news just report every detail on Obama they can find. And unlike what people say its mostly negative. Then they just report the talking points from each campaign with no analysis.

Denise   August 23rd, 2008 3:00 pm ET

Congrats to you!

Sammy   August 23rd, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Cant get to the white house without money.

Ernie in LA   August 23rd, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Biden voted to go to war.

mook   August 23rd, 2008 2:29 pm ET

thought i was at msnbc.com for a sec

mook   August 23rd, 2008 2:28 pm ET

mark preston must be a republican, his ticker piece ended with a slight dig ,poorly veiled.

Dot Henry   August 23rd, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Republicans will portray this choice as a "weakness," when in fact, it shows both strength and intelligence. Smart and effective executives always know to "hire" to their weakness. Thank God Obama has the wisdom to know this and show the confidence to act upon it. Biden is a great choice!!!

Arthur James   August 23rd, 2008 2:21 pm ET

i WANTED TO GIVE MONEY, BUT THEY WOULDN'T LET ME GIVE JUST 2 CENTS!

KenB, MI   August 23rd, 2008 2:21 pm ET

hmmmm its all good, I've been getting email for months...will visit the Obama site from time to time and its pretty typical election web site that contains a link for donations...

aware   August 23rd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Right!

The odd couple tries togetherness! Now there are two plagiarizers for the price of one! :(

Obama never!

John McCain 08 and Hillary Clinton 2012! :)

debkansas   August 23rd, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Isn't this what its all about. Out to get our money. I was hoping that this year we could find someone who was really on our side. Guess there must not be anyone out there like that anymore. Obama for himself and Biden for keeping Obama off the sands of Hawaii. what a joke. But the laughs are on us. God Bless America

anonymous   August 23rd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Congratulations Joe Biden at least you beat out the Clintons. Great job. Hope you do the right thing for your country, as people are depending on you. You are the right choice and I am a registered republican. However, I do not support all of McCains ideas. It is hard to believe that the Mccain family (Cindy) has inherited every bit of her money from her wealthy family and she did not even have the courtesy to help her sister sho do not get 1cent. How can we expect someone like her to be a first lady and help any part of the world. She is not going to do one prosperous thing for our country or any other as far as that goes. Anyone that will not help their family is low life.

Mir   August 23rd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Shouldn't the headline say "Biden's change of address"? Thanks, CNN

Ken   August 23rd, 2008 1:59 pm ET

What a joke this election is going to be. Obama has made a very big mistake that will cost him the Presidency. Obama will lose in November against McCain and whomever is his VP.

I am one of the Hillary Clinton supporters that instead of voting for Obama or sitting this election out, will vote for McCain to help America elect McCain for our next President.

anonymous   August 23rd, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Well Hillary, guess your heel's are in solid ground now. Hope you get the message people do not and did not want the Clintons part of the White House ever again. This is the truth once and for all Hillary was not chosen. Well womens libers what are you going to do now?

RJ, CA   August 23rd, 2008 1:51 pm ET

It just gets funnier and funnier . . .

Bill From Fl   August 23rd, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Ask what Biden brings to the table, I say alot.
Ask what Obama brings to the table, I say zero.

Clinton//Biden 08
