Hillary sheds a tear and you all call her a cry-baby.

Biden sheds a tear and you call him a hero.

What a bunch of pigs.

They are aleady crying because they see a loss down the road

I love Joe Biden's willingness to show his heart. People who are "us" and don't think they are above "us". How refreshing!

You could tell also last night as he watched Michelle's speech that it touched him deeply. Few of us could imagine what he went through when he lost his first wife and child in a car accident. As a family man her speech had to have touched his heart and those memories.

He learned brutal lessons from his mistakes in life but always came back to serve and find redemption. What an admirable person! Much different than the person we've had in the White House the last 8 years who keeps selling us on lies and replacing them with more lies.

He's the right man for the job!

Obama/Biden all the way.

Why is Joe Biden tearing up? He's not going anywhere!

So Larry Sinclair and Donald Young and the Obama connection had nothing to do with it either?

How about Rezko?

PUMA 2008!

This ain't no show. Biden is a man of the people... someone who will never forget who he is and where he came from. I'm very happy that he got the nod to join Obama on the Democratic ticket.

You Hillary supporters need to GET A FREAKIN LIFE!!!..

She lost, get over it!!!!

She is over you, when will you bitter, hatemongering morons wake up!!!

This IS NOT about YOU!!!!

It is about the future of this country.

If you are a women who enjoys your right to choose and to make equal pay, than Obama is your pick.

If you want all your rights tossed out- then Mcain is your man.

Pick one and go with it, but stop your whining!!!

Had Hillary not lied and tried to undermine Barack at the game, she would have been the nominee. However, she clearly lost! She knew the rules, agreed to the rules and now she wants be considered the golden doll...no, no, no she is now doing the right thing and supporting Barack the WINNER. So therefore, Hillary supports get on board and support Obama unless you want to be a McCain victim and statistic.

I bet Biden knows that Pakistan does not have a common border w/ Iraq unlike McCain.

Biden is a real person. We are so lucky to have him. What a statesman. Go Joe! Iowa loves you!

Emil Jones anyone?

Come on MSM, you know and I know if you report that Obama's political Godfather Emil Jones called a black, female Clinton delegate an UNCLE TOM for supporting a white woman over the black man, IT WOULD DESTROY THE PARTY AND THE CONVENTION WOULD BE RUINED.

Sometimes it is not what you report, or how you report it but WHAT THEY DON'T REPORT ON.

Obambi would be RUINED for his latest lack of judgment in "friends" and it would add to the list (Ayers, Wright and Rezco).

Someone else will be doing the crying once the debates start. Don't pull any punches Joe, give em hell!!

I am proud to be a part of this historic process. Never have we embarked upon a time where we are all free to vote and decide who would be the best candidate to lead our country and the world. I am especially proud of the acheivements and great sacrifices Barack and Michelle have made to make not only their communities better, but themselves better. I as an African-American woman myself, am extremely honored to have been present in such a time of change that will not only change politics forever, but also the mindsets of those of us who choose to believe or not believe that anything is possible if you set your mind to it!

How hypocritical can you be (get)?! I guess he was well taught by Senator Barack America, or maybe, just maybe, by Michelle America.

I'd love to hear from Cindy MCCain. This nation must be getting tired of electing incompetent and senile people as leaders to nowhere. Just look at where this nation has been in the past 8 years because of FEAR!!! You wake up each day and listen to dead beat fools who claim nothing but service to this nation. Are parents, teachers, doctors etc. not serving this nation? War vs. disease; the doctors, parents, and teachers are the true heros of the United States, not war pilots!!

There will be a lot of crying at Obama HQ come Election Day.

Last night was so lovey dovey it was almost sickening except for Teddy Kennedy's amazing speech getting to Denver despite his health...the Democrats better take the gloves soon!....

I always liked Biden I like him even more now that he is Obama running mate. This shows that Obama has a good Judgement chosing biden. Biden stands for working people like me an honerable man.

There is nothing wrong with tears of joy flowing from a expanding heart.

My heart has been separated from my mind ever since Bush took office.
It's time to integrate the two again.

When was the last time your emotions were moved by appreciation of the emotional strength, the emotional intelligence, of a Presidential candidate? It's the candidate that moves the emotions of the people that is worth supporting. We follow the man who follows his dreams.

Michelle's emotional intelligence is balanced by a very clear intellect. That's what integration is all about. I have no doubt about Joe Biden.

A little purification now will lead to a lot of progress in integrating our one nation in the coming months.

Reading these posts full of venom makes me worry for America.

I am stunned that truly immature, childish comments criticizing Biden for caring about people.

I feel sorry that these people are so bitter and unloved that they can't understand why Biden would be emotional talking to key supporters who have been supporting him for over 30 years. What has become of America?

good God, thank you for the best of american... Obama/Biden. McCain is an agenda against united state

Forget it Biden- You used a lot of pressure to get noiminated. Are you ready to VEEP? DNC has screwed up again

All because one crys does not mean that they are not strong!

CNN you're repulsive! How many of McCain's negetave ads are you going to promote for him??? Don't you see that they're making the ads so you can speread the word for them free of cost? And if this is the case, why don't play any of Obama's ads? Oh i see, he's not a Clinton:(

Change, change, change! Obama is all about change! That's why he has changed and picked an old dude w/ more than 30 years of experience in the same ol' thing! In the end, Obama will say "America, keep the change."

Part of a person's endearing quality comes from having the courage not to shy away from emotion when appropriate. Biden has been through more in his life than many of us could imagine. God bless him.
Obama / Biden

David W.

ALL politician have speech writers. But for the record, Obama helps writes a lot of his own speeches.

If it wasn't for speech writers, McCain would only talk about his POW stories and war.

Give him a bucket! He will be crying after the election!

All you people who put down Biden and Hillary for crying probably grew up being accused of being "cry babies" yourself and never learned that tears are a normal, healthy outlet for emotions. Consequently, you probably have all sorts of big problems yourselves that you wouldn't have if you lot yourself cry. Alas, in our barbaric country, machisimo rules of intelligence much of the time!

With all the hateful, spiteful comments here from people on all sides, I sometimes wonder if this country really deserves to survive.

What a friggin joke.

I have no problem with Biden tearing up...however, I find some of the Obama supporters( of which I am now one) somewhat hypocritical..When Clinton got emotional...we did not hear the end of disdain from you people. Funny how your opinions change.

Yawn. Hillary cried and it was travesty; Biden cries and it's heroic. Please. And for the person who said he'd like to see McCain cry, I imagine he was made to do more than that as a POW. You zealots make me sick.

I am thrilled that Barack Obama chose Senator Biden to be his running mate. Joe Biden has served this entire country consistently and whole-heartedly for many years.
Obama/Biden in 2008!

*Biden our time, Barackin the vote!*

Anne,

I love this. I think I shall use it. Think it should be on a campaign button. You should contact the Obama camp

It would be nice too see a normal human as VP, not someone with ice in his veins like Cheney. Good guy Joe. Now time to get tough and kick the RICHpublicans out of office!

Now I know he is full of it!

First off, I'm a Biden fan – I was rooting for him all last summer through the Iowa caucus. Where did all this love come from for him, where was it then? He's the same guy now as he was then – no one paid attention, the media only focused on Obama and Clinton. He was/is the most honest to God qualified person to be president. One thing I do need to ask though, why is it perfectly acceptable for Biden to get emotional and choked up, however, it was totally untolerable when Hillary did it. I just hope that all of the people posting above about how touching and how nice it is to see Senator Biden choke up aren't the same ones that slammed Hillary to the ground when she did. If so, that would be blatant sexism. Oh wait, there was none of that going on in the primary was there?

Cry me a river. Barf.

One can feel through his words that Joe Biden is a good man. He and Barack will have a lot of work to do and I am glad the Wise Barry chose Biden to help him. Yo Joe!(Sorry)
Also, let's not expect all the miracles to happen the day after Barack is elected. It took us Eight years to get into this awful mess and it will probably take just as long to get out of it.
As long as I know that the smart guys are driving I am OK. It's the McWarMongerMagoo/young guy ticket that scares me.

Brains before Bullets,
Obama/Biden 08/12

Sorry, but Biden hasn't done jack squat for DE except produce an Attorney General son who failed the bar exam three times before he was elected to the highest legal position in the state based off of his pappy's name.

It's truly sad that the Republican Party attack machine has successfully turned so many Americans into hate-filled, pathetic excuses for human beings. People whose lack of rational thought and logic is scary when one realizes that they vote.

They have no policies and no agenda other than spewing hatred towards anything with a Democratic label on it.

You can tell who all the Republican plants are here, by their common talking points.

Thank you Joe Biden for always "telling it like it is". I supported you since the beginning, and love that you are on this ticket.

Senator Biden has consistently shown grace under pressure. I watched his reaction to the speeches by Sentor Kennedy and
Mrs. Obama. It was clear that he was deeply affected by both.

It will be great to have such an honorable man working alongside President Obama.

Obama/Biden '08!

Maybe he's tearing up 'cause he stole the v.p. role from someone else who was far more deserving !!!!!
No Hillary then NOBAMA !!!!
Mccain '08 !!!!!

I think Joe is a god choice by Obama campaign but I am not fooled a pinch by the good speech of Michelle. She is trying to move away from the angry and bossy lady that she is. It did not work with me eben though she really acted the new michelle very well.
She now sees Hillary as good where as she was not for running against her husband; she was not proud to be an American until Obama ran for office and like others, she would have divorced Obama to get money if Obama, her boy backslide.
Obama had her as a mentor and eventuall married her. I hope she will not crash Obama's political life with her control of her boy – Obama.
Hillary and supporters should let Obama be but take the fight to irritants like pelosi, dean and others who suck.

People get over the Hilary thing!!!! SHE LOST......Your choice is Barack or McCain....that's it.

IT'S RAINING DEMS – HALELUAH!!
It's raining DEMS – Hey Hey!!

Tears mean LOVE – LOVE means UNITY!!
UNITY means Strength – Strength means ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
Accomplishments mean WINNING the Presidency in November!!!

OBA-DEN 2008-2016 – YES WE WILL!!!

IT'S RAINING DEMS – HALELUAH!!
It's raining DEMS – Hey Hey!!

CNN is already trying to diss Michelle's speech (see "praise for Kennedy mixed bag for Michelle"), that must mean Michelle did an excellent job and CNN has to tear it down to please their Republican money-masters who are afraid they'll get taxed when Obama gets elected.

Anyone wanting to get an unbiased view should go watch/read the BBC reports.

I have to admit that I was hoping Obama would pick Jack Reed, but on balance I think Senator Biden is a pretty good pick. Besides, he's from Pennsylvania, which is the state I'm from so he can't be all bad (smile.)

Obama/ Biden 08 and 12

GO OBAMA!!!

GO BIDEN!!!

Is this all the democrates can do is cry? First it was Hillary, now it is Biden. Enough is enough. You liberals make me sick. You wish ill will on Tony Snow and now Robert Novac for having CANCER but you think it is cute when these two liberal cry. You are some twisted people.

There was nothing corny regarding you expressing sincere feelings with humor and humility. It's refreshing to hear someone speak from their heart.
God bless you and Senator Obama.
I can't wait until you all are in the White House. We need some honesty, integrity and intelligence.

Obama & Biden 08 & 12

People should be ashamed of labeling Sen Biden a crybaby. I think you are entitled to a couple of tears due to nestalgia. Especially after 30 years of public service to the people of Delaware even while enduring two personal tragities. I am sure he has shown more tenacity in the face of adversity than many of the worms writing disparaging comments in this forum. They only wish they had his fortitude!

Go Obama, Go Biden!

What is the matter with these people???? Stop crying!!! We need strong, tough leaders in this country, not a bunch of cry babies.

Nice to see a little sensitivity.

Go Biden!!

Obama/Biden 08!!!

i think if each one of us took the time to look back over our lifes we to would shed a tear. From what I have read Senator Biden suffered a major lost – wife and daughter were killed in a car accident – two son were injuried. I am sure he remembered the incident and the number of people from his home state helped him during this period and probably sitting at the breakfast were some people that have always been with him – the good times and the sad times.

Obama/Biden 08

Wow...I just can't believe some of the comments that I am reading. For those with such NEGATIVE comments...why don't you try closing your mouth, get off your tush, and YOU do something worthwhile for community, state, and country. I'd love to hear your comments once Obama/Biden are in office an you reap the benefits!

He is the perfect candidate for Vice-President! Rock on!!

LOL!!!!!! Clinton came under so much fire for crying. Looks like Obama's team is picking up her technique.

Man its good see a life long senator choke up every now and then. This lets us know that hes serious about changing this country for the better. By the way, Hillary Cliton cried becuase she acused the media of picking on her. She cried becuase she was a cry baby.

JUST BECUASE YOURE A CONSERVATIVE DONT MEAN YOURE A REPUBLICAN. BEING A REPUBLICAN DOENST MAKE YOU A CONSERVATIVE.

Has anyone told hin that he can't get an Academy Award for the convention? Anyone that buys Bidens sincerity, I have some swampland in Florida for sale...
Biden is a hypocrite
Obama is a egomanical con-man
I am a lfelong Democrat who is ashamed for my Party.

Finally, after 8 years of men in the White House who would refuse women their reproductiverights, rights to their OWN body, and 35% of women who would follow like sheep, we are getting a duo of men comfortable with who they are and not afraid to show it.
Pro Choice Obama/Biden 08

Joe Biden American Hero. If a Repuglycan tried to cry he wouldn't know what to do, hahaha.

watch c-span
no interuptions at all. you see and hear every thing

To those making comments about the Hillary crying/Biden crying saga I must say first of all the reason it doesn't seem fake coming from Biden is because he has no reason to fake it. He's not on the verge of losing his primary bid because everyone says he's a robot. Hillary on the other hand fit that description perfectly when she had the same emotional outpouring.

I voted for Clinton by the way but now that Obama is the nominee I proudly support him as I believe in the democratic ideals more than I believe in the Clinton family. And as patriotic and respectful to those same ideals as they are I think the Clinton's themeselves wouldn't have it any other way but to have total support for the Obama/Biden ticket.

McSame/McWorse answer to everything: "I spent five years in a POW camp." Uh, sorry John.., that does not qualify you to serve as President of the United States. Go count your houses and move on, please.

Biden is a good man. That is something very important. As far as McCain is concerned he has lost all respect I have had for him. He wants to fall back on his being a P.O.W. as an excuse for everything he does wrong. Unfortunately the media goes along. McCain cheated on his wife. Its ok he was a P.O.W. Edwards cheats on his wife it shows bad judgment. McCain is called on his economic standing and can't or won't say how many homes he has. Its ok he was a P.O.W. He knows nothing about how hard things are for the majority of us. Its ok he was a P.O.W. He is asked what qualifies him to be president. He was a P.O.W. He is experienced in security matters Why because he was a P.O.W. He is a hero. Why because he was a P.O.W. Being a P.O.W. is not the basis for any of those things he claims. This man is a joke. His background would lead to the downfall of any other political figure. But not McCain. Why? because he was a P.O.W. Enough already

I would rather have anyone (man or woman) who would NOT shun our troops because he couldn't take cameras and media with him.
SHAME on Obama. That was NOT a very patroitic move he made.
I have no problems with Biden, he would probably make an excellent VP....However, it is Obama I have very deep concerns about. Not least of all is his shunning of our troops. Agree with the war(s) or not....SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.....
THEY KEEP YOU FREE........NOT Obama....
A socialist country is NOT a FREE country.

the more the Obama supportes try to intimidate us, Clinton supportes, the more decided we are to vote for McCain. .

Obama/Biden! Yes we will!

Biden yes, Clinton yes, but Obama is just not ready, so this long time Dem is voting for McCain for the sake of my children and this great natuion

He saw former Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock cry during a speech once and decided to copy that too.

Joe – you are great man, kind heart and wih great principles, Washington could not change you. You are a great example for other knuckle heads politician to learn from. I hope they do or I will exercise my natural birth right to vote them out of office.
I applause the emotional human side of you ! That's what great people do when they are touched at heart by others kind acts and show appreciation ! That's good manner, the American way !!
I will vote for you twice if I can !!!

What's truly pathetic is that Republicans always revert to name calling – whether it's to disparage Obama, Biden or their supporters. It is clear they have little self-respect (which is understandable given their electoral choices) and certainly none for anyone else.

They show themselves, their party and their candidate for what they really are – soulless, mean-spirited, dishonest, mud-slinging Big Brothers.

Now THAT'S enough to make anyone cry.

Here's to HOPE for a brighter future – OBAMA / BIDEN '08 AND '12!

Real men do cry! Biden has been through a lot in his life. He lost his first wife and daughter in a car crash....a horrible thing. Also, when you succeed in life and good things happens to you...you will get choked up when you think of the ones you love are not there to share it. So people get a life!

Arrrgh the pain of “quirk of fate” that runs down my spine.

Makes no sense whatsoever other than malice how someone can go from voting for Clinton to voting for McCain. But then again the thinly veiled message is you only voted for a person and have never looked and don’t care to know about any of the issues that affect how policy is formulated.

Ooooh the pain of irony runs down my spine.

OMG Obama ran the whole primary on Clinton voting for the war. Joe Biden voted for the war too and he chooses him for vp. Obama is such a liar and a fraud.

this will no doubt end up being a new republican ad. JOE BIDEN A LONG TIME LEADER BUT DOES HE HAVE THE EMOTIONS TO BE A VP? as the scary music is played.

He will be tearing up a lot more in the future when they play excerpts from all his speeches about the quals of BHO. Too funny!

The Dems have great speech writers. I would love to hear thier speeches if they wrote it themselves.

I meant to say this guy remains me of Harry Truman So real and so true. What you see is what you get. Obama is the cerbral one and one the one-two point: straight talk. I believe they compliment each other good. I think how ever sad or not satisfying it may be Hillary wouldn't have been the emotional and political wise choice. The Republicans keep blostering the ad sing HRC words. let me tell you Hillary was their candidate and would have made things easier for them. Hillary would have enerise the Republicans base and Indepent more than anything else. So the first lesson in choosing A VP: do not harm.

I would have maybe been dissapointed if Obama has choosen Clintonbut I would have goten over it sometime soon. I do undersatnd the PUMA but let me say this Come the morning after: Barack wins or loses the PUMA would say OMG what did I do?

Wow!! First national poll following the start of the Dem convention has Obama out in front by 8% pts!!!

GooooooObama!!!

Yay! Yay! Yay! Can't wait to vote Obama/Biden!!!!!!!

Hillary hags...the reason people are not jumping on Biden's "moment" is that it is sincere, heartfelt. Hillary doesn't have a heart much less any sincerity in her miserable body.

She can say the words tonight, she can bug those eyes out and shriek...but everyone knows that she and Bill feel like this should be THEIR party...HER turn...HER God given right to be coronated. How dare some unknown take that from HER and HIM. She mismanaged her campaign, lied about Bosnia, tired so hard to turn this into HER CONVENTION with so many demands. She said she got 18 million votes and Obama got 18 million votes MORE OR LESS...but only if you completely disregard caucus states.

Hillary supporters can vote for McCain...there will be a lot of disgrunted Republicans and Independents who will more than take up their slack.

I really believe that The Democrats have a ticket of two leaders who are truly 'nice'.
I am tired of the negative, divisive, and certainly NOT 'Jesus like' manipulative tactics of the Republicans over the last 8 years.

Republicans used abortion, gay marriage, and immigration to get to the White House 8 and 4 years ago. Did they do anything about it, HECK NO! So, what is it with these evangelicals? Does being a Christian preclude independent thought?

For those women who want to vote for McCain – please go ahead – and watch the rights of women dissipate.

For those in the Military who want to vote for McCain, I hope you are ready to be sent off to war with Russia, because McCain is itching to start war with Russia – He has said all Americans are Georgians.

For those who have fallen under economic hardship, You want to vote for McCain? You ain't seen hardship yet.Joe Bid

Obama really does have fantastic judgement!!

BIDEN..PERFECT VP CHOICE!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008.. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN!

An outstanding American, paired with an outstanding American. The Obama/Biden ticket is seriously one of the strongest I've seen in at least several elections. Best plan for America in years for energy reform, economy, foreign policy, health care and fiscal responsibility.

There is nothing wrong with him Crying i almost start crying last night listening to Micheles speech it was inspiration to me as an American citzen to know anything is truely possible and Obama and Biden will show that as they move forward. Michelle, Obama, And Biden is what is good about America no matter How high up you Go You are still a Human Being and You are still An American. Obama/Biden 08 We will take back the American Dream Republicans Get Ready It is War!

To TONY
Good for you! I think you make an excellent point. Obama is not an African American! Obama is a bi racial man. My whole family is made up of bi racial people from Mexicans to Indonesians !

Now there's a strong visual for American leadership. Somebody get him a Kleenex before his makeup starts running.

When Hillary cried Obama supporters had a field day. They called her being too weak to be president, to being a phony, and every other ungodly name. Now when Biden crys it OK and praises. So continues the double standard from the Obama supporters.

You PUMA people sound so totally ridiculous! It sounds as though you all have a love affair with Hillary Clinton and not the issues she stands for. Stop going onto various political blogs talking silly. If you are not going to vote for the Democratic ticket, then don’t. But please…stop the madness!

I GUESS JOE HEARD THE NEWS

MCCAIN TAKES LEAD IN NATIONAL POLLS FOR FIRST TIME

46-44

Senator Clinton cried...she was percieved as week and deceptive..Joe Biden cries and he's a hero...this is EXACTLY why Hillary lost....

Sir, we HONOR you for taking on the VP role. We know that you will do us PROUD and HONOR us with your brilliance and tenacity. We need a new direction, a new "TEAM OF HONOR" running this country.

We are sick and tired of all the old SWIFT BOAT-FEAR MONGERING, KITCHEN SINK PLAGERIZERS, GUTTER CROOKS who think we are idiots in believing all the lies, deceit and corruptions being fed in the media Ads. WE are not stupid and we are NO LONGER going to play the fool, 8 YEARS was THE MISERY OF A LIFETIME!!

We are WORSE off today than we were 9 years ago!! Thank you very much Bush/McCain.

IF YOU WANT EIGHT MORE YEARS OF MISERY, KNOW YOURSELF OUT BY VOTING FOR McLAME!! We'll be sure to visit you in the St. Elizabeth's mental ward!!

Congratulations Senator Joe. Yes We Can!!

McCain is an IDIOT!!

I am ashamed of other hilary supporters who are going to vote for him! although i think the number is pretty low.. i really dont know they can spend the next 4 years with a republican as president!!

so.. vote obama this year, hilary in 2012!!

IM still a proud DEMOCRAT!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!!

"FIGHTING" JOE BIDEN.

why isn't CNN and the other media all over this, remember back when Hillary cried a little and everyone made fun of her being the weak one, but now that this guy is doing it, it's OK????????? Really???

NO THEY SAID LOOK SHE IS HUMAN AFTERALL......................

All you haters just need to stop! If you all feel you could do a better job, then why don't YOU run for President?!?!?

I find it interesting that it's mostly women making "don't be a crybaby" type comments here. What's up with that? I'm thrilled to have a VP candidate who can actually feel and react to things, after having Darth Vadar the Soulless for the last 8 years.

Ha, what bunch of poo!!
Biden has been in Washington longer than McCain, how's that for change?

Biden is a good and honorable public servant. He will make a fine Vice President...no doubt!

Can't wait for Joe to rip into McCain's veep choice in the debate!

BiIden's just another long-time democratic stooge!

Folks, it is nornal to disagree with each other on issues, but to resort to name(s) calling? Wake-up pple. Seems like we are not Americans.
Some of us must have been from outer space and beyond.

I was always for Biden. He is an excellent choice. Barack Obama is a fine man with a big vision. We need this!

I am heartsick about what the Republicans, mostly Bush & Cheney, have done to this country. Bush has singlehandedly bankrupted the richest country on earth!

We need the hope of Barack's new ideas.

this guy remians me of true. So real and so true. What you see is what you get. Obama is the cerbral one and one the one-two point: straight talk. I believe they compolkiment each other good. I think how ever sad or not satisfying it may be Hillary wouldn't have been the emotional and political wise choice. The Republicans keep blostering the ad sing HRC words. let me tell you Hillary was their candidate and would have made things easier for them. Hillary would have enerise the Republicans base and Indepent more than anything else. So the first lesson in choosing A VP: do not harm.

I would have maybe been dissapointed if Obama has choosen Clintonbut I would have goten over it sometime soon. I do undersatnd the PUMA but let me say this Come the morning after: Barick wins or loses the PUMA would say OMG what did I do?

By the way, after the election , if Obama wins, Biden will go to that secret room every other VP goes to and we'll never hear from him again.........where do they go anyway???

i'm amazed at people's short attention spans!!! Jeannie, Obama did NOT lose big time in those states you mentioned!! none by more than 10 points, and indiana in particular, less we forget, they statistically tied!! there was no percentage, less than 25,000 votes!!!! please, please, please put feminism aside for once, and vote for the good of our country, not your retarded pride!!! McCain will make you look foolish!!!

I pray for Obama and I pray that he wins this election.This country can'nt afford another BushMccain term.

I'm a strong republican and actually like Biden. As far as Obama goes, I think he is all talk and has no clue what it takes to be President. This is NOT a popularity contest people......who cares if the guy shoots hoops and talks the good talk.......he is NOT qualified to be President.......someday, maybe.......but not yet. McCain is strong, confident and has been there and done that......Obama hasn't even been in long enough to make any "change" in the Senate, why should we listen to his call for "change" so soon??? Obama.." This is a great country......help me "change" it" For the worse that is....GO McCain!!!

Joe Biden rules. Best choice for VP that could've been made.

GREAT choice for VP.
Clinton supporters – you say you are with her "100%". If she asks you to vote for Obama, and you won't, then you are NOT with her 100%.
If you vote for McCain, shame on you.
Any TRUE American would not vote for McCain. POW does not a president make.
The republicans have spat on the Constitution one too many times, and wasn't once enough?

If you all love Biden so much, why didn't you vote for him in the primary? I was leaning to Obama, but this pick of Washington insider just threw that thought out the window. I will wait to see what McCain has to offer and then decide whether to vote for McCain or no one at all !!!!!!

What kind of change does Biden bring?????????????????

Cry me a river, Joe! How about some real leaders with some real backbone with fewer sleeves full of emotion these days – anyone? I'm SOOO sick and tired of the Oprah-ization of this country. In the words of a great Amercian, just "git-er'done" and spare me the tears!

I seriously cannot understand these people who think that 4 more years of exactly the same adminstration is a great idea. Don't they see the economy in shambles? Don't they get that we have lost over 4,400 men and women to the war. Don't they realize that times are tough for MOST Americans right now? Don't they see that we need a change? Obama/Biden is our Only choice. I have to pray and believe that the American people will come around and do the right thing in November.

Joe Biden
I think an excellent choice!!!!!!!

"EX-REPUBLICAN FOR OBAMA" : WELL SAID!

Boy, some of the sarcastic comments on the blog are just mean. Since when can't a man choke up?

We are after all humans. Though from some of the ads and comments from the far-right-nuts its hard to believe.

TO 'NEW YORKER' YOU SAY, "MCCAIN IS STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE WORLD AFFAIRS"........ REALLY?

HE DID SIGN THAT LITTLE SONG "BOMB........BOMB........BOMB IRAN"

CAN WE AFFORD ANOTHER WAR-MONGER IN THE WHITE HOUSE???????????????????????????????????????????

MCCAIN IS ANOTHER BUSH/CHENEY...... AND FRANKLY HOW CAN WE AFFORD ANOTHER WAR-MONGER?

OUR NATIONAL DEBT HAS DOUBLED UNDER BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN............ ALMOST.........$10 TRILLION DOLLARS.........OWED TO THE PEOPLE WHO.........ATTACKED US ON 9/11..........THE SAUDIS.........TO CHINA........ETC.

WE ARE SPENDING $1.38 BILLION IN IRAQ...........EACH DAY!

WHILE OUR HARD-WORKING AMERICANS CAN BARELY MAKE ENDS MEET!

TODAY........ THE FINANCIAL NEWS IS DISMAL........ AIG AND LEHMAN BROTHERS ARE NEXT IN ........FAILED INSTITUTIONS!

OUR NATION IS IN A CRISIS, WE NEED OTHER IDEAS, PLANS, ETC., WE CAN ......NOT.........AFFORD........MCCAIN!

Joe Biden will be an exceptional Vice President.
God Bless him and his family.

You go Biden. Go get the people responsible for taking the country down. We will have your back.

We had Al Gore who was so whipped by Hillary he couldn't step up to the plate. We had Chaney who was iron fisted.

At last we have the opportunity for a decent VP...who would have guessed it. Oh I get it...a strong leader picks STRONG people. Right!!

Biden is much more qualified than Obama and should be at the top of the ticket. The only thing we have to go on with Obama is his word, the word of a rich, highly ambitious, lawyer turned politician with no track record to speak of. Once again I'm disappointed in America's inability to recognize true leadership over Britney Spears-style pop appeal. We will continue our downward spiral until this changes, which won't be any time soon.

Just what is to be expected coming from an old political hack like Biden. Ask Biden what Obama's specific ideas are in moving this nation out of its downward spiral and I bet he couldn't tell you. It's a real shame that the Democratic party can do no better than these two I hope people stay home on election day. It's not worth it..

YES YES If they get into office we'll all be in tears

What would you Dems say if McCain started crying during a speech. OMG, I can just hear it now. It's just different when it's someone you like. They are both white haired, old and a lot of old experience. But it's just different. Right?

I'm with you Biden, Dems have alot to be crying about, so let's all tear up.

He got 4000 votes, he should be crying...........HRC got 18 MILLION

Joe Biden is a good man and a decent man. It's refreshing to be able to vote for a politician – two, in fact – I would actually allow in my home with my children present. That's unusual in modern American politics.

Obama/Biden 08

Obama/Biden!!! McCain is still crying about his small time of being a POW!

I have always liked Biden...he makes remarks that other politicians are too scared to say...they fear too much about their reelection and not enough about speaking their minds. We elect leaders to lead and stand up for what they believe...that is why we vote on the issues they support. I would rather have someone like Joe Biden or Obama because at least you know where you stand with them...unlike many who say one thing and then do another...McCain I hear has voted against a Bill which he himself proposed. Not to bring up the age issue with McCain but sometimes I wonder if he remembers who he was 8 years ago before he sold out to the GOP Establishment to get the Nomination in '08? Would love to hear your thoughts Jack Cafferty.

When Senators Obama and Biden are elected on November 4 2008 and are sworn in as President Obama and Vice-President Biden on January 20 2009, the USA will be once again respected around the world.

You sorry hard hearted people need to get a life. If you can not say anything good just shut the ???? up.

What humility. Such an important quality that we have been without in the white house for too many years.

And to those making comments about the Hillary crying/Biden crying saga I must say first of all the reason it doesn't seem fake coming from Biden is because he has no reason to fake it. He's not on the verge of losing his primary bid because everyone says he's a robot. Hillary on the other hand fit that description perfectly when she had the same emotional outpouring.

I voted for Clinton by the way but now that Obama is the nominee I understand that considering fundamentally they believe and push for the same things, of course it is best for the country to elect Obama. After listening more and more in fact and seeing how he effects everyone around him I'm more convinced than ever and just pray that the Republicans in sheeps clothing (PUMA) will be tossed out and not only avoid four more years of Bush but instill a new sense of purpose and level of respect in the whitehouse.

I LOVE YOU JOE BIDEN.

'The Delaware senator (Biden) lavished praise on Barack, saying the Illinois senator has a perspective he has never seen in Washington before..'.

Is he serious? This is pure pandering for votes! Many people express the views that changes need to be made in our government. You can beleive NO career politician will ever lift a finger to make the changes needed....that includes Barak Obama! All fluff and no substance!

To all of you haters, just remember the republican convention is next, and I can't wait to unload on that gathering of circus freaks. You'll have:

John "insane" McCain
Rudy "the ghoul" Giulliani
Fred "Dead" Thompson
George "the monkey" Bush

and others. Stay tuned more to come.

Way to go, Joe. You'll make a fine VP!!

GO OBAMA!!

No Need to cry Biden, you will be back in Stratton and Obama will be back in Chicago with the wife and kids come November.

Gotta love Joe......

Congratulations Joe! Now go get em!

Joe BIden is a sincere and honorable man and a perfect choice for VP. He seems certain to be a key member of Obama's team, similar to Al Gore (or Cheney for Bush).

The comments by Republican Lisa and others that "now we don't need a cry baby as VP!" and "crybaby Biden" are despicable and cruel.

This is an historic convention and election for all those Americans who are not afraid to show their emotions!.

Yay, Joe is pulling something straight out of the Hillary NH playbook here! Way to tear up there Joe to gather support!

awww,another cry baby like obama and his supporters is it because hil supporters won't fall in line, or is it the polls he is looking at!!

To those peope making fun of Joe Biden for crying: YOU PROBABLY CRIED WHEN THE PATRIOTS LOST THE SUPER BOWL!

Priorities!

OK now Joe, explain how someone with 36 years' senate tenure, a working wife, and an estate in Dupont country with a driveway longer that some highways, can be worth a mere $150,000. Don't you have retirement acounts?, pension? equity in a home?vehicles? If you worked your whole life and have nothing to show for it, I'm not so sure you ARE qualified to be the VP.

why isn't CNN and the other media all over this, remember back when Hillary cried a little and everyone made fun of her being the weak one, but now that this guy is doing it, it's OK????????? Really???

Biden crying still doesn't make me want to vote for Obama.

He's been in congress for 30 years, what a breath of fresh air. "Change" is really coming.

. . . AW, Joe.

Obama / Biden 08.

Michelle's speech was OK, but nothing to get choked up about. She did as required - soften the image and paint the story of a blue color family. I think the real speech of the evening was Ted Kennedy's . . .and I don't particularly care for the man.

It's OK for a man to cry, but whoa to the woman that even appears as she might cry . . . . . . .!!!!!!!! A double standard for sure.

Everyone get's emotional from time to time. For those calling Biden a "cry baby" should take a good look at their own lives. They have probably cried over similiar situations: birth of a child, graduations, weddings and funerals. Let's get real people. Besides Biden should make a good VP. It's nice to see a VP with a human side.

I'm not even sure why this is newsworthy to note that Biden was crying, but good for him; he sounds like a decent guy. I knew little of Biden before Obama selected him as VP, but I'm starting to like him more and more as a person. He just sounds like a decent human being and isn't afraid to be completely honest.

I respect Biden, but he has his faults like everyone else. Crying is something he did because of his 35 years service to the people of his state. There is no shame in that. However, I am sad that he is a VP candidate to Obama. The country would be alot better off if Biden was the top pick of the Dems. At least then he would actually be able to compare substance with McCain. Obama just has his fancy speeches, but no real substance. Sorry Dems, but VP's do not win you elections. On Nov. 4 it will come down to who America trusts with the next 4 years: McCain or Obama. If those are my choices then I pick McCain!

Welcome aboard Senator Biden. Let's win this thing and fix America.

D I D,,,,,,,,H E,,,,,,,,,,T A L K,,,,,,,,,,,T O,,,,,,,,,,,,,G E O R G I A N S ? ? ? ? ?

OMG, if all of you don't sound like raving idiots. Go ahead, Biden and play to the audience but someone explain why a tear makes him a great guy. Clinton shed a tear and you all blasted her and now a man sheds a tear and you all want to diaper him. If things don't go right for him, if he makes it to the VP slot, will he shed a tear and all of you will simply say...OK.

Biden was an awesome choice. As soon as this convention hoopla is over, he's going to be working hard and out straight-talking McCain's Straight Talk Express.

To Hillary supporters. The hardest thing in competition is to admit defeat and that time is now. When you finally do, grow up and don't be vindictive. Vote on the issues, because Obama and Clinton beleived in a lot of the same things. If you vote for McCain, you are disgracing your own beliefs and values.

Let's see if Obama will loose a point for each day of the convention, he already dropped 1 point since yesterday.

We don't need a cry baby
When Hillary looked tear eyed it was talked about for weeks on national news
Will the same happen with Obama and Biden

Well, if Biden crying means he's a wuss, then all of our rough, honed athletes that were at the Olympics must all be wusses too, because I saw a lot of them crying when they got their gold medals.

Wussy athletes! Take their gold medals away, because they are weak!

(yeah, that would be sarcasm)

What a wuss, he cries like president Bush!

Some of you are just plain nasty. Biden has gone through a heck of a lot in his life and has a LOT to show for his fortitude. Even if you don't support the ticket, a modicum of decency would be nice.

Its OK Joe. Real men cry too. I cried also from far away Germany

Great job Joe!! Joe Biden.....the really nice and sensitive guy. Start with a tear and give those republicans a false sense of security before you let them have it with both barrels....

Lisa how many time's has HIllary cried?? You are such a disgusting hypocrite!

We are proud of you, Joe. Now it is on to making this country great, again.

I love the way that the CNN moderators delete the comments about Joe Biddens health issues with anurisms and Nancy Pelosi waiting in the wings to be vp if Joe does not make it thru the four years if by accident Obama was to win. I also love the fact that the CNN moderator deleted the comment about Nancy Pelosi misleading the american people in her speech regarding how the catholic churchs policy is really on abortion. Read the article from the catholic church (don't take my word for it). With Bidens view and pro-liberal stance on abortion I do not think he will be bringing too many real catholics to the voting booth for Obama.

I like Joe Biden and its really refreshing to me to see someone who doesn't come across totally calculated.

I love that Biden was chosen. Also, I thought the speech last night by Michelle Obama was beautiful. It is ashame that some Conservative
Republicans (especially one in particular on Fox) has to be so radical on his opinions. He should look into the mirror at himself to see a man that to me is arrogant and laughs like satan.

I am tired of listening to them. This includes Karl Rove who I think comes with alot of baggage. Some day they will get to the truth about him. I hope McCain picks Tom Ridge or Joe Lieberman as his running mate just to upset these guys. I will get a good laugh from it.

You guys who keep saying that "only in America" can someone with humble beginnings get elected to the highest office, get a freeking clue in life, and stop being such ignorant xenophobic morrons!!! That's why the rest of the world tends to think of Americans as self-centered idiots, because that's exactly how they act. There are 200 more countries out there, and in there you have presidents that came from super humbling backgrounds:
- Brazil, Lula was a shoe shine boy (you do better than that)
- France, Sarkozy was a plant worker's son from Hungary who decided to emigrate to France rather than the US because it was cheaper to get there, given his meager means
- Israel, Golda Mayer was a sheep lady in a kibutz
.... (and on and on)

So please, for your own good, stop being so voluntarily ignorant to try to make a point. Yes, the US has a great history, but don't belittle that of others by making fraudulent superlative comments.

Joe, you make this Democrat proud.

Obama/Biden
The True Dream Ticket

real men do cry.........................

BARACK THE VOTE PEOPLE.......

Im choked up knowing Hillary and Bill and their crooked fruad White water clan wil NEVER see the whitehouse..All you PUMA morons shuld be ashamed of backing this fraud case. Spend millions to retire her debt, it's your children's tuition money...idiots!

What a guy! What an awesome choice for VP. He will be fantastic! I can't wait to see the Biden-Romney VP debates (if that's who King George III picks for his running mate.) If it is Romney, Biden's going to have him for lunch!

Dennis from Chicago – you are full of it.

Obama was born in Hawaii, which is a state.

The questionable candidacy is John McCain's. He was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which is not part of the US. According to article 22 of the constitution that states eligibility to become president–one must have born in the US. This is why California's governor can't run for president. Check your facts–why there isn't a holy stink being raised by this, I don't know.

If he wins, it should be challenged–Republicans again using the constitution as toiley paper.......

I just don't get it. Why would you pick someone who could not get votes in the primary.

Just don't think he should have been the one. Should have chosen someone else.

Awwwww. How sweet? Now, if her speech is going to be the most memporable event of the convention, the Dems have REALLY big problems. Oy.

Let the man have his peace...he has been a Senator since 1972, show some respect.

I T' S----3 : 0 0 ---A M---W H O ' S --M I N D I N G-–T H E,

S T O R E ? ? ?

Joe Biden is REAL people. This man has worked his heart out and never forgot where he came from.

Yeah this is what we need running our country, a full-grown man crying like a baby.

What a wimp!

I love this guy. He is genuine. I was praying Obama to pick him and I am happy that he picked him. I hope the people this team for what they are and give them the chance they deserve to serve. I am hopeful that they will clean Bush’s mess and restore America’s pride.

Crying like Hillary...

WAAAAAAAH!!!!! There is no crying in the White House.

Oh yeah that's right he will only see the inside if McCain invites him for dinner.

Well, after last nights press coverage of the Dem Convention, I have come to realize one thing:

CNN does NOT have the best political team on television....

We switched over to PBS and were extremely pleased with Jim Lehrer and his analysis team–they were fair and balanced, not unnecessarily hung up on the search for controversy, avoided the whole stringing out of the Clinton followers that CNN is obsessed with, and put several lesser speeches like those of Barack's sister and Jesse Jackson Jr. in proper important perspective–while Carville and the pundits wanted only to downplay them and call the night "wasted."

Incidentally, did anyone see the brisk comment of Caroline Kennedy to Wolf Blitzer's rude prodding about the process of selecting a VP choice?

"No, I am not going to walk you through it. It was a confidential process."

Sheepish Wolf promptly shut up:)

Joe is extremely impressive in every single way!

Based on some of the comments in this blog, I can see why this country is so messed up. I fought for this country under Bush 41. It ters me up to see where we've come and where we're going. While I'm an Obama supporter, most likely NOBODY can bring this country together. The reason is American's don't seem to WANT to be together.

Hillary put up a good fight. You can't blame the media (if you listen to them your an idiot anyway). You can't blame the DNC (true they screwed up the MI & FL thing), but it wasn't the DNC that cuased Hillary to lose 13 states in a row. Her campaign let her down and she didn't help the matter. They had no plan past Super Tuesday, squandared the big lead they had. Anyway......I digress.

Joe Biden is a true public servant. One of the 5, NON MILLIONAIRES in Congress. He hasn't used his office for personal gain. He truly just wanted to represent the people of Deleware and the US as a whole.

It is time to stop all this madness. Our troops are dying for us and all we can do is bicker and call each other names and deride someone for being emotional. Let's stop the madness, find some common ground and make our politicians accountable to us – the American people.

I am so pleased that Senator Biden is on the ticket and I love the man and pray sincerely that they get the nopmination

Joe Biden is Bush's Cheney but lacks the chutzpah to be as effective.

It appears the media would prefer speaches over substance.

Hillary 2012

Joe is a good man for the job. Now get to work and get after Rove and Limbaugh.Rush just said things have been great for 8 yrs.

Wow. So if Hillary cries, it was OMG.... what a softee, can't have that in a President. But Biden cries and it's it's all gosh.... What a great guy.
He can cry. If it was McCain, everyone would be what a wuss.

Double standards.

And didn't Biden also say Obama is inexperienced?

Neither McCain or Obama is fit to be the President.
Time to look at who is running independent.

I never knew Clint Eastwood could cry...:P

Go ahead... make my day..

Biden is a decent man. I understand this choice. All intelligent people understand this choice.

We love you Senator Biden. You're genuine and will make an excellent vice president.

Yep, America is getting weak.

I guess Biden is not as smart as everyone thought. Just a few months ago he was saying Obama was unqualified.

No Biden, Hillary's speech will top Michelle's and Barack's should be the speech of the convention, because he is the candidate.

Go Barack, Go Joe, you got my vote.

A strong man is not defined by how tough he can be, but that he has the ability to feel and express emotion.

obama/biden 2008

Good guy, too bad he is stuck on a losing ticket.

Biden was the absolute best choice that Obama could make for his VP. I think it shows he has good judgment. Also, Biden is the one choice the Republicans were most afraid of. This is a great ticket!

I love you Joe, I have always like what you stand for. I am so glad and very proud you were picked for VP.

Change Obama/Biden 2008

GALLUP showing McCain up by 2 points......HA HA HA HA HA HA . Dems picked another loser.
GO HILLARY!!!!

Thank goodness I had not yet eaten lunch before I read this article or Biden would have been the reason my lunch came up. What a goofy, jerkball article. He ought to cry over voting FOR the bill the credit card companies wanted while his son was one of their lobbyists. Now that is change I can understand.

Tony: "When in the hell are people going to start referring to OBAMA as BI-RACIAL?"

As soon as the bigoted people who won't vote for him because of his race agree to give him half a vote each.

Tony he did not identify himself as BI-Racial. He identifys himself as a African- American. I f you do not believe me just watch the news and see what he identifys himself as. I think the whole label is wrong. Based on his orgions he should be labeled as a half kenyan muslim black with a white liberal mother who prefferred a (Barka) instead of being a free woman. Of course that is her choice and appartenlty the one she prefferred based on two marriages and both to Muslims.

OMG- Biden teared up. Where's all the nasty comments. It was the topic for days after Hillary showed emotion. I realized along time ago I made the right decision for leaving the Democratic Party after 40 years. I think back of how stupid I was for putting my time and money in this party. Of course there is no way in h___ I could have voted for Bush.

Obama has chosen to disregard a sure ticket to win the presidency when he did not choose Hillary. If he looses like Kerry and Gore do not blame 18 million voters who could have given him a victory. It is his own wrong doing, his lack of vision and desire to unite the party what made him a looser.

You will be crying in Onvember when you loose the election!
Then what will your supporter CNN do.

Hillary supporter for McCain!!!!!

Obama promised change.
He chose a running mate who is not a millionaire. That sounds like change to me.

Congratulations Vice President Biden. The tears show that you have a heart which compliments Obama's intelligence as well as empathy for others. You two are the dream team. Americans have been waiting for this day a long time.

Now this is what I'm talking about !!!
SEXISM SEXISM SEXISM SEXISM
Hillary tears up and is considered a weak cry-baby
Joe tears up and he is applauded.

Wake the Hell Up Americans !!!

WOW!!!!! McCain ahead in the polls after the first day of the Convention!!!! This is a FIRST even for DIMocrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Democrat dopes should have gone with Hillary! Back when she would have chosen Obama as VP, and we've have this sewn up by now!

But NOOOOOOOOOOOO – Dean and Pelosi had to SHOVE an unelectable candidate down our throats! Well, they shall reap what they have sown

PUMA

Biden is great.

I read obn HPost abouy an article that JM has out and sent to the tight states. It was about Obama's children. HPost did not show the video but told what was in it. I didn't think he could go any lower

Biden was one of my early favorites in the race. Even though he didn't catch on as a top runner, I'm glad to see him get a chance to serve as vice-president. He will serve us well.

IT CAN GET UGLY OUT THERE.
IT IS WHAT SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS.
TOO MANY CRY BABIES HERE.

Alligator tears I am sure.

I like Biden and his emotional display is fine by me. What bothers me the most is how the media and Obama supporters find his tears are acceptable but thought it showed weakness in Hillary.

Good man, biden is. Yes, hmmm. Good man.

was it better than neil kinnock's speech which biden copied. he had to remove himself from presidential campaign in 1988 becuase of his lies.

obama is the best he has seen in 40 years in DC?
he's lying again.
obama has 143 days in the senate.

Joe Biden = what is RIGHT and GOOD in Washington.

A few hundred Joe Biden's and all of the sudden our government wouldn't be broken anymore, which is why Senator Biden makes perfect sense on a change ticket despite his long tenure.
It is because he gets it and rides that train every day to go to work for US.

Finally!! A VP with a heart. I never heard of Joe shooting his best friend in the face.

Awe Joe :0 ) Congradulations! I can only hope that John McCain will make as wise of a choice as Obama has. Now atleast we will have some strong experience near the helm, something more than a great speach at a prior convention, if Obama is indeed elected.

I can't believe all the whining about a few honest tears. "Cry Baby???" Are you people like 12 years old or what? Does a little genuine emotion really frighten you so much? Joe Biden is a good man and a real man – not afraid to show he cares deeply for his constituents or his country.

Maybe when you grow up, you'll understand.

crybaby?? geesh you are all harsh!

Joe's a good guy. It's too bad more people didn't know it in his run for office. He should be on the top of the ticket!

PS. If Biden's polls numbers go up after this, John McCain will soon be bawling like a baby.

Biden is crying even more than Hilary?
This cannot be a good sign. lol

At least the 'inevitable' Hilary waited until she got whupped in Iowa before she moistened for the cameras.

Biden has Bush-McCain foray into Ossetia to thank for Obama selecting him as VP.

Did anyone know that Biden makes less than 200k a year after so many years in the senate?
With all the out of touch millionaires in Washington DC(like McCain) it is nice to know that there are some non-millionaires out there that still care and understand me and my concerns(I make 45k a year).

Obama/Biden in 08/12!

Its ok for a man to cry, its represent him as a human being.

Who the heck cares if Obama is black, white, red, blue or PURPLE? We're ALL bi-racial, as a matter of fact, my mother was adopted so I'm a frickin' unknown multi-racial hybrid. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE!!

He is not a great black man. He is not a great bi-racial man. He is just a GREAT MAN.

Period. Stop talking about the color of his skin.

Out of the guys running I was for Edwards first (man, am I glad that didn't work out) and Biden next. My real choice would have been Clark. Obama impressed me with his speech at the last primary convention but no way did I think he had what it takes right now to get a progressive agenda done and done right. However..... I KNOW the Republicans will not do the right thing for this country so.... the lever comes down for Obama. I don't mean to disrespect all repulicans, but their philosophy has certainly been completely explored for the last 10 years if you include their taking over both houses so thoroughly, and we can see what that got us. I just hope that Obama gets the kinds of fighters he is gonna need and trys to embrace a populist theme more than just a socially liberal one.

Gotta love Joe Biden. He's always been a favorite of mine. Obama did us a great service selecting him as V.P. I wish the best for both of them. Can't wait until they hit the ground running after the Convention is over and start slamming the McCain team. Between the campaigning and the debates, they will get the job done. The only poll that matters is the one on Nov. 4th and you just know with a twosome like Obama/Biden, there's no way we are going to lose!!

Im Not Voting For You Mccain Unless I See You Cry!

A man with a warm heart. That's a good thing to have.

Too bad the Obama haters-bloggers are not as lucky to know what it is like to have a warm heart. That is why you all are bitter and will suffer your self inflicted bitterness the rest of your pathetic hateful lives.

Joe, We are so glad to have you as the VP candidate! I did not know much about you until recently for whatever reason, and I am very impressed after reading all about you.
Second a comment to CNN, we have been really tiring of what you call news and journalism. I feel that you make mountains out of molehills, that you look for little problems and make them huge in the media, your coverage is not neutral as news should be. The little catch phrases "digging deeper" "best team on televison" etc, are annoying, not memorable. I used to love watching CNN. I am not sure what has gone wrong. We are watching PBS for the dem convention because of these things.

Give me a break! What is wrong with these people? Must be something in the drinking water...

I am not voting for any of these people!!!

Biden is a great choice, His emotionality shows he's human and hasn't burned out like many politians like McCain, Bush, and Cheney who have only two emotions- Anger and more anger. Its great to see someone who really likes people. – Rebublican now voting for Obama

hmm, let's see if the obamabots get on him for crying, like they did Hillary. Now he's human but I guess she wasn't bunch of hypocrites.

To all of those people who ridculed Biden for choking up... what would you do in this situation?

Enough Said!

Obama/Biden '08

Great VP Choice!! we are all human lets not forget that we all do get emotional at times we aren't robots!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

What a compa s sionate man. Certainly missing in the current V.P. who likes to say "so" in response to the American people's feelings about issues concerning them. Love you Joe! You've accomplished many great things as Senator for Delaware and our nation is a better place because of it. Looking forward to the wonderful things you and Obama will be doing as President/Vice President of The United States Of America.

Obama/Biden '08, '12
Change/Experience
A Winning Ticket

Joe Biden is a man's man. Joe Biden is the kind of man that
American's should love. He said that being nominated for
Vice President "pales in comparison to the honor that I've had
representing you. "
Delaware breakfast was closed upon Bidens request because
he did not want to appear corny. He wanted to thank Delaware
saying that with the loss of his first wife and daughter in a car
accident, he could not have made it without these people that
believed in him.
He is a handsome man. The best selection of someone who
seldom shows emotion, but humbly thanked his people. That
is a humble man. I love him.
Praising Michelle's speech is as one that will be remembered
at the convention and stated that in Obama he has :a prospective that he has NEVER seen in Washinton before.
I love it that McCain's name was never mentioned! Ignore him?
Love it!!!!

What a joke!!!!!!!!

what? you mean we might have a GOOD MAN in the White House as VP instead of a slimy sleazebag?

Good man, biden is. Yes, hmmm.

i love you Joe! you are the finishiing touch to a perfect team. please go out there and whip butt for the gang. we have been waiting for this new team for 8 years. you make john mccain look like an old man and you can blow him away!
we have your back Joe, you and Obama ARE THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO THIS COUNTRY.

Spare me! Mr. Arrogant Crying???

McCain is tough enough to handle world affairs.

McCain 2008 !!!!!!

Let's see- when Hillary Clinton teared up, all the Obama lemmings made nasty comments about her. Now ol' Joe Biden can tear up and you all think he's showing human emotion. Make up your minds, folks.... wait, that would require.... oh, never mind.

This isn't a slam to Biden because I think he's probably a good man, but it's just to show the hypocritical inconsistencies of some of you Obama people.

However, Michelle Obama's speech hopefully will NOT be remembered as "the most significant event at the convention". If it is, then God help us, because the Democratic party will be in worse shape than I thought.

Aww.

Jeannie, Sacramento, CA – Obama Leads in the polls in Michigan and his lead will only increase with Biden.

So not only is Obama making in roads... we know he is the only road out of the Muck Bush placed us in! And, the quicksand Mcsame will allow this country to continue to sink in... for anyone who make less than $250,000 year... any ways.

Obama/Biden! – In Michigan & for us all

wow, I teared too last night!

Congrat Sen. Biden my prayers are with you and your family. Obama and yourself will be a breath of fresh air longing to be inhaled by the American People.

Thanks
Obama/Biden 08

You tell so many lies, and you can't take the Truth!!! Pity.

OBAMA BIDEN 08 Baby! Let's BARACK AND ROLL!!!

Gallup just reported that McCain creeped ahead in the polls by two points, and Gallup calls cell phones!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There IS a God!

PUMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's ok for a man to show emotion and give a heartfealt insite to how he really feels. Michelle I am soooo proud i can't hold it down it is time for a change and it is now

If this was Hillary she would be getting so much flack

DOUBLE STANDARD MUCH?

I am all choked up too knowing that Biden and Obama to ultra liberals will never see the white house.

Hillary 012

do not worry it is almost over...wait until the courts decide to hear the eligibility of barack o bama to be president CAN A DUAL CITIZEN HAVE A NATURAL BORN U S CHILD.... the constitution requires it... O BAMA IS NOT IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN CHECK IT OUT obamacrimes.com......good luck with your change

Any sleaze ball that speaks ill of Joe Biden (losing wife and children in a car accident) isn't an american...just another stupid republican.

Joe has been in the senate longer than John McCain. More importantly has actually voted more often than John McCain. Not hard to do though....John McCain hasn't been in washington this entire year.

CRYBABY BIDEN HAS A RIGHT TO CRY! DON'T YOU GUYS KNOW HOW MUCH THOSE HAIR PLUGS HURT TO GET PUT IN?!!!

I'd still would have preferred Wes Clark, but I can't complain about Biden.

Don't let the tears fool you. He understands what is at stake this election and he is going to be a pitbull and McCain knows that.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with that type of response, it is called humility. He was the best pick for Obama simply because he wanted it. That's the kind of person you want on your team. O'Biden will make history and I am going to enjoy watching every minute of it.

CRYBABY BIDEN!!!!!! Man Up Already. This Democratic ticket is embarrasing!

The Democratic ticket is upside down. Hopefully Obama will set his phone on call forward to Biden for those 3 AM phone calls.

Biden is a real man, so is Obama.

the Republicans are a bunch of bullies who needed more attention as kidz.

Where's the backlash that Clinton got for crying? Can someone say double standard?

Spoken from the heart.........it is what can be accomplished when one's desire to achieve becomes reality.......Congratulations on your selection for the nomination as Vice President of the United States for the Democratic party.

Those are fake tears just like how fake Obama is. Both of you belong together but I know you and Obama will never be as strong as Hillary Clinton on her own. Both of you are so insecure in yourselves as men that you feel threatened by Hillary.

She will always be the stronger person and I am her supporter still and will always be loyal to her 100%.

Someone must have just told Biden that he cannot recant on his acceptance to be on an Obama ticket.

This is a great man and if this nation lets this opportunity slip past we truly have reached Idiocracy status and deserve all we get out of it.

Wow, some human emotion...QUICK! When was the last time your say anything that wasn't a sneer from Shotgun Dick????

THIS IS WHY AMERICAN'S LOVE YOU. . .SENATOR BIDEN!

OBAMA'BIDEN '08-'12

Well done Biden! I am glad Obama picked you!
Lets make it happen and take back the white house Dems!!

Obama/ Biden 2008 and beyond.

Lets fix what the republicans did!!! No more Bush or McShame!!

As a Biden supporter in the primary, I am extremely proud of him. He is what a public servant should be. He is a person who has been through so much in his life: who lost his son and his first wife in a car accident and who had two brain aneurysm repairs. Yet, he is a person who is dedicated his life to the people he represented. Joe Biden is the type of leader that this country needs, especially during the time of war and economic crisis.

For those of you who attacked him for any unknow reasons, get a life! Please DON'T waste CNN's server quota to post some absolutely futile and inconsequential comments.

Joe is a great senator. And he's right about Michelle Obama; her speech was very impressive and touching. Joe and Barack are the type of leaders we need in the White House to get the country back on the right track.

After 8 years of a maniacal, evil Dictator, Obama/Biden will be like a breath of fresh air for the first time in a very long time.

GO Dems!

This is an honorable man of compasion and consideration. His knowledge, his commitment and his strength will be much appreciated in this country – ONCE HE WIPES THE FLOOR WITH THE REPUBLICAN SLIM MACHINE and moves into the White House.

THANKS JOE

Good old Joey lad. Stay the course and winds to your sails!

So!

Congratulations Mr (I mean VP) Biden on your nomination. barack choosing you was an excellent choice. I'm sure you will serve America with great honor and pride as always.

Making corny comments only shows how you really feel. Your feelings are genuine and we respect that!

DMD, please stop now. Even with all the votes counted Hillary would only be closer to Obama's total and not leading herself. The supers went with the guy who had the lead and the most votes.

That being said. Go Dems!!!! All of us together will get back the WH!

Cry, like a baby. Yek. NO HRC NO obama.

Now let's go get kick some RNC!!!!!!!!

TWO GREAT GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN 08

"Corny?" Not hardly! The senator is an honorable man who speaks his mind. Doesn't know when to stop? It's refreshing to hear this man - whatever he says - instead of what we've had to listen to the past eight years! Say more, Senator - I'm all ears!
Biden our time,
Barackin the vote!

Sorry...I have no response to that.

I cried the day the towers fell, one of 5 times in my entire life. And if you didn't, then you are a terrorist.

Yes, it's ok to cry when something means something to you. Whether it's Joy, Pride or Sorrow, it shows humanity, humbleness, heart and conviction. Only a person supporting world anhialation would ridicule the power of a heart felt tear.

These are the reasons McCain supporters don't like tears, this country means nothing to them, and they are void of emotion for it. Then again, after systematically beating out of it any and all good things, I can understand their lack of pride/emotion in the country they have thrown down the drain.

Let's take it back.

Obama/Biden all the way. The only candidates left standing that actually CARE about our country still.

Dont worry Joe you will till be a Senator there next year.......No need to cry

I am glad he was chosen. I was supporting him in the primary and was sad when it did not take off. It says alot about Obama that he chose someone that will speak his mind even when he does not agree with him.

Obama/Biden O8!

He cannot protect Obama from having a very thin resume.

What a team! The perfect ticket that I have seen in my life time. I'm only 37 and for me I feel as if I was going to vote for the first time. Good luck and hope you help change this country around. I need to show respect so others can respect us. I'm a proud catholic and will pray for you.

I think the Obama camp and DNC want Hillary to have a limited roll call at the convention because now that Florida and Michigan have their votes back, a full roll call would mean Hillary gets the nomination and not Obama….then all unholy hell would break loose. And if what I just wrote is not true, I don't know what else the reason would be. And in the heart of my hearts, I cannot vote for Obama. This is my biggest dilema yet. It doesn't mean I would necessarily vote for McCain come November or even sit out the vote. There are two other people running….Nader and Bahr.

We ran a youtube search of the prospective democratic vice presidential candidates six months ago and Biden came up as the only viable candidate of those being considered. A great choice.

I feel bad if anyone who is ridiculing Biden's emotional expression on this blog is an adult.

Pick up a book, people. Biden has had a remarkable life and if one opens their mind they can clearly see why this is emotional for him.

Sometimes, reading these blogs are almost as ignorant and belligerent as YouTube comments. Think before you write.

Joe Biden == greatness

Nice to see a guy with some a emotion. We are sick of the McCain/Bush tough talks all the time. He will make a good VP

Only in America can those of ordinary beginnings reach the highest levels of elected office. If you don't find that reality humbling: if that truth of this country doesn't move you emotionally then for heaven's sake don't ridicule those who are moved.

PS to those of you that have nothing but nasty things to say, why don't you keep them to yourself or e-mail each other. The rest of us don't care to here your acid comments.

When in the hell are people going to start referring to OBAMA as BI-RACIAL.

If elected in November he will be the first BI-RACIAL president this country has had.

He is not an African American. His mother was a white woman.

Hello, anyone home?

I love Biden. He is a good looking man.
Now, do we want the rich people to get the biggest tax breaks.
McCains ads are very deceiving. Obama wants to raise taxes
on RICH PEOPLE. I asked my 39 year old daughter who makes
$10.50 an hour who she is going to vote for and she said, "Mom,
I like Obama but he is going to raise our taxes!!!!!!"That is PRECISELY
the message that our young people get!!!!! They are too busy to sit
back an "listen to the whole story." They walk thru a room and hear
"MCCAIN SOUNDBITES.! We better educate our children. Clarify
this, Obama, Biden. CLARIFY. Clarification on issues that McCain
attack dogs send out is more important than attacking him back.
BE CLEAR IN YOUR TV ADS BECAUSE THAT IS ALL THE YOUNG
PEOPLE HEAR AS THEY HURRY TO SCHOOL, A DATE. THEY
ARE BEING DECEIVED BY MCDRAFT. BUSH AND CHENEY
WILL NEVER BE "GONE" FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IF MCCAIN
WINS!!!!! BUSH WILL STILL BE RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE IN
THE BACKGROUND!!!!!

GOOD GRIEF. This man is not a cry baby. He is happy to take on a new role as VP and saddened to leave his people of 30 odd years.
Try being these people for one day.
We have beome a nation of hard, hard people when a person can't
show deep personal hope and love for ones country without being
called names. Shame on all of you that did!

Secret service, taxpayer supplied residence, staff of servants–it's not easy to live large on this planet. Crossing all fingers and toes that this opportunity won't slip through his webbed fingers.

The more I hear about Joe Biden.....the more I like him. Obama made the best possible VP pick when he picked him.

Obama/Biden "08

I would rather have a man who is not afriad to show emotions than the idiot who is now in charge.

Nice to know we have a real human, someone who can express feelings of deep gratitude to those he serves. George Washington choked up in talking to his troops at a low point in the revolutionary war. It is fake emotion I have no use for. No shame in honest, heartfelt emotion whether they come with a tear or a smile. I'll take an honest tear 100 times over a Bush or Cheney sneer and hardhearted disregard for young American lives. Too bad the current administration is unable to show Biden's humility to those it serves (All Americans) as Biden did in his breakfast meeting.

Joe Biden. Stalwart of the Senate. So you are going to help Barack Obama turn this country into the United States of "Europe"? That is what it will become under him if he's elected !!

Senator Biden is a wonderful man, a good democrat and deeply loves our country. I'm proud that the next President of the United States chose him as his running mate.

Our next Vice President, Joe Biden. Very, Very touching.

Obama/Biden.

You go Joe!

Crush whomever is the Republicant's nominee for V.P.

Thank you Senator Biden for your many years of service in the Senate representing Delaware.

Biden?.........Choked up?

He learns fast.

I'm liking Joe Biden more by the day!

Good man, Joe Biden is! What an excellent statesman. It's sad how Obama doesn't have the talent nor the werewithal and now has to "use" this great senator to make inroads in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana where he lost big time to Clinton. Pathetic!

cry baby

We don't need the moron that is inevitably going to be McCain's VP...

I agree with you VP Joe Biden,,,,Michelle gave a very good speech I have even seen and heard....She is such a very good strong woman.
Obama/Biden

He's a good guy. He will do a good job, a fair job.

Didnt someone else cry recently? Here goes Biden again.

It's okay Joe! We're happy you're on board!!!

Yeah Joe now stop taking bows and go out and get those votes for Obama since you couldn't get them for yourself.

Congratulations, Senator Biden, on your nomination as Vice President! I was rooting for you for wes clark. it was a fine decision...

Now we don't need a cry baby as VP!
