(CNN) – Newly named VP candidate Joe Biden will heavily focus on his personal biography and Senate experience during his speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night, the first opportunity most Americans will have to hear from the six-term senator.
In his highly anticipated prime-time address, the Delaware Democrat will also hit longtime Senate colleague John McCain hard on a wide range of issues and say the Arizona senator represents four more years of Bush administration policies, a Democratic source involved in crafting Biden's speech tells CNN's Dana Bash.
Related: What will Bill Clinton say?
Specifically, the source says, Biden will discuss his humble upbringing in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and the lessons he learned growing up in a working-class family.
Biden, first elected to the Senate in 1972, will also heavily focus on increasing economic hardships for middle- and working-class families, and say that many of those families are worse off than they were eight years ago.

Biden is also expected to offer a personal perspective on Sen. Barack Obama, whom he first came to know when Obama gained a seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Biden now serves as chairman of that committee.
Biden, whose foreign policy credentials are widely believed to have landed him on the Democratic presidential ticket, is also expected to outline why he believes McCain and Bush’s foreign policy worldview has ignored the most dangerous threats facing the United States.

CNN is doing a good job of closing so quick so that we can't comment. Up below they never opened up the article for comments about McSame having a lead because they are protecting the coward. The powers to be are at work. I wonder if the democrats will get the same treatment on Larry Queen after the republican convention ends every night. Nothing has changed in America. The voting machines are being rigged as we speak. Obama does not have a chance in the wicked country. Seems like America takes pride in being hated. McSame will continue to take this country down just like he did his aircraft. America will be tricked and fooled again. Russia will pull McSames card and show what a coward he really is. The world will say America you go it alone, you voted him in now live with it.
I am a white male who served 10 years in the military, grew up in a conservative three generation Republican, christian household and both my parents were hard working blue collar workers who both worked up until their 80's. I am 40 years old and have two teenage children of my own and am struggling to make ends meet. I have to vote my conscience so I have to vote for Obama because my parents would turn over in their graves if they knew that this non caring, warmonger, for the rich only john mccain was the republican candidate for 2008. Thank God they are not alive to see what a sham their party has become because it would surely kill them. Mom and Pop, don't worry I will do the right thing and vote for Obama.
Givem hell Joe.
Biden....ugh....
Hillary raised the bar. Can BO meet her up there? Can he reach across the aisle like he says he's so good at? He couldn't even reach out to her for VP.....or for vetting, or to even be the one to tell her that she wasn't his pick......he hasn't reached out to her supporters, or to women.....
I'm pretty convinced Hillary is not the VP candidate because Michelle said NO.
GO JOE!
i hope he calls mccain out on his childish ads that are disgracing this election. one of the reasons he was put there is because he's not a pushover so i hope he takes it to him!
I hope this does boost the Obama ticket because we need change!!!
McCain = McSame
No one cares!!!
Where is the real star, Hillary?
CNN still criticizing the Democrats for not giving enough red meat? Here's your man.
Though I fully expect you to be reporting and speculating more on what Bill Clinton has to say than Joe Biden for some strange reason...
Ugh...he'll never deliver like Hilary did last night. Obama had ONE shot at uniting and exciting the party...and he blew it. He couldn't put her on the ticket, but instead, he couldn't get over his ego enough and picked Biden.
And that 3 am text message picking Biden was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. You couldn't pay me a million dollars to vote for that man....he has absolutely NO integrity!
Go get 'em, bulldog.
Obama/Biden '08
That's great... more about 4 more years of Bush without any indication what they want to do...
Oh... other than raise taxes on buisiness and buisiness owners... yea... that will help... lets lay off more people and run companies out of the States... great idea!
I think there is a checker match on ESPN... should be more interesting...
Obam/Biden... a Joke America is no longer laughing at... Should have been Hillary... last night proved that... the DNC knows it too...
Think he will still be saying how Obama is inexperienced and no OTJ training is suitable? Or maybe he will confirm that Barack is a 'clean' black man. Or maybe he will lie about his military resume or plagiarize another speech? His ego is only matched by Obama's. ALSO, don't forget his lobbyist son he through about a million of your taxpayer dollars to. This is CHANGE? He need the white male vote and this is how Obama is going to try and get it, simple.
Clinton was awesome last night! She proved that she should have been the party's nominee for president. Biden is a nice guy, but adds nothing to the ticket. I'm afraid his speech, sandwiched between two Clintons, will be a poor showing.
Clinton in 2012!
TEAR MCSAME AND THE REPTILICANS WHO HAVE DONE THEIR BEST TO DESTROY AMERICA A NEW ONE!!!!
CNN your generator stating that Lincoln and Grant were from Illinois is annoying. Lincoln was born in Kentucky and Grant in OHio. So if you want to be believable you must make corrections and immediately.
Now for the news:
Great speech Hillary. - We love you in our family of 36 voting age democrats, but we are voting for a true leader, John McCain. We will return in 2012.
IN the meantime, I get sick of seeing CNN report that Abe Lincoln and US Grant were from Illinois. Does that mean when Obama visited Kenya overnight, he is now from Kenya.
Pull up your socks CNN and get your facts straight. For your information, no president has been elected from the state of Illinois and none will be this year either.
Vote JOHN MCCAIN
Biden has been in the senate LONGER than McPresident. This is change? He is pandering to the white people with this guy. If Obama is not given this presidency, the riots will begin!
I adore this man! Joe Biden is peerless in foreign affairs. It's too bad he's now been relegated to sainge Obama's run by getting the Clinton supporters in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana to come over to Obama's side. What a waste of impeccable foreign policy credentials!
He's not important! Where's Obama?
Get ready to see a lot of teeth. Phony smiles and then a ton of anger.
He's still peeved that in two runs for President he got a total of 5000 votes
1) People trying to stop the negativity: give it up. People are going to revel in it, no matter what you do. Very sad, but very true. The "foaming at the mouth" rabid hatred of Obama needs to stop. Please listen: that sort of hate is severely unhealthy and you should seriously see psychiatrists. Seriously.
2) What kind of experience does McCain REALLY have? Being a senator doesn't make you prepared for the presidency, so that aside, what big bad position has McCain held that makes him so much better?
Joe Biden or Hillary are both polished, experienced leaders who should be on the top of the Democratic ticket. Their presentations demonstrate that. Obama is inexperienced and his only claim to fame is that he is half-black. Without a teleprompter, he really shows that he is an empty suit.
Hillary showed obama how to make a speech. Her speech was much better than any obama has every given. Shows who should have been the VP pick.
If the tikcet were flipped with Biden on top, this election would probably be over. Once again, the Democrats will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I can't wait to hear what Biden says. He was the best pick for Obama.
If Biden can deliver what we need to win in November, then no Democrat should be scared to back Obama and win the election.
We love you Joe!!!!!!!
What the Democrats need to emphasize in response to the Republican charge of in expereince on Obama's part is the fact that McCain admittadly does not have experience or even a firm grasp of the economic issues Americans have stated are their #1 concern in this election. Secondly, his leadership and experience have taken us down an in excusable path in Iraq which has diluted our attempts to deal with the real terrorist threats we face. The result is an America that is less safe than we were prior to 9/11. Is this the kind of experience McCain's people are talking about when they say he's more experienced than Obama?
I love it.
This is the same guy that said that Obama was not ready and the McCain would be good for the country.
why isn't Biden as exciting as Hillary? The excitement is missing this year. Does anyone else feel this way?
I believe he should also say why did he change his mind about Obama after he first hit him in the debates. Those people need to say that geting closer to Obama, made them understand the guy better . And that's why NOW , they believe he is ready to lead. Shouldn't they , I mean He and Senator Clinton.
It will be nice to hear Joe Biden talk about foreign policy without using the Karl Rove fear tactics that brought us eight years of George W. Bush – the worst president in U.S. history. But sadly this same old fear mongering appears to be working again for John McSame.
If John McCain is elected in November we'll be the P.O.W.s.
TOM NY – Biden is the LEAST candidate for change that is possible. He's been in the senate LONGER than McCain. You are really lost friend. Just bow down and pray to Obama (3 times a day) and you'll be cured, I'm sure.
GO JOE! WE BELIEVE! DEMS 08
I just don't understand why does it take someone to point out that you need to vote in YOUR best interest. Hillary delivered a wonderful speech and now some of her followers say they will heed her message to vote in THEIR best interest. INTERESTING!
I would vote for Biden as President in a heartbeat, but I wouldn't vote for Obama as President in a million years. Sad, but true.
John McCain says he has "experience" but in what? There were plenty of Presidential canidates that had more Washington experience than McCain but they did not make it. Experience is only as good as the person who has it and John McCain has been corrupt and immoral in his own actions during all that "experience". Give it up.
How can republicans claim that they are the only ones that can keep us safe?
9/11 happened on their watch.
Bin Laden is still on the loose on Al Qaeda is stronger.
They've stretched our military to the point that Canada could probably invade us now.
what a good choice! the dream team.long live AMERICA!
Pork belly spender Joe Biden is suppose to represent CHANGE? He is part of the problem, not the solution..
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008
Hillary did a stellar job last night. I hope Biden does as well, and mentions what a horrible handle McClone has on the economy, terrorism and how many houses he owns. We've had eight years of our economy in the toilet. The last thing we need is four more flushes!
you gotta love this Guy
he will do wonderful things for our country regardless of which party you belong to.............
Biden said he liked McCain in 2005. McCain is a much different person today. He has evolved in just another GOP puppet.
It just amazes me that because John McCain was a POW and served in the military, people think he is better prepared to be Commander-in-chief. Experience does not automatically equate to success. If anything Americans should be looking at the years he has had to make changes and be successful, but failed. John McCain is pulling out all the low, dirty, tactics he can use to try and win this election. He and the Republican party are showing their desperation. If McCain is so great and has all this wonderful experience, why is this country in the shape it is in today. It's time to get the Republicans out of the White House. Republicans, we see through your dirty tactics and we will not be fooled by them. United we stand. Democrats all the way to the White House.
Obama/Biden 2008
You better hit me hard and expose dumb McBush ranging from lies and propaganda of Iraqis war, Unemployement, home foreclosures, corruption of Bush/Cheney, Gas@ 4 bucks, Hurricane Katrina, tax cut for the rich and big oil companies etc...etc.
I am just curious if the Senator will read his own speech, or will plagiarize more from the Washington Times (the “Biden plan for Iraq – thanks to the anon user on Blogger for notating this) or from another British politician (88 presidential election). I'm not decided on where I am voting in this election, but if you can't even give credit to others for their work.. what does it say about your character?
I want biden to peel the bark of of McCain. plain and simple. No treading softly.
so it begins...no turning back
Lets take the white house back and build a greater community.
Biden is going to rip it up. He is one of our strongest dems. Goooooooooooooooooo Biden!
I hate french cut shirts
Biden on the ticket represents change? Actually let me tell all democrats this...everything he represents is what is lacking in Obama. Lets be honest, Obama is not ready and he (Biden) was right to have questioned his readiness and inability to conduct foreign policy among other things. Americans vote for Presidents and not their deputies. We are not fools and you will not fool us again. Bush has better numbers compared to the house you democrats ran. See you guys in Nov
BIden is a Pitbull Go get em JOE!!!
True Politician. Good Old JOe, He makes the statement, "that McCain is a person he would be proud to run with. That BO is not ready to lead this country". Then he says, his Net Worth is $75,000 to $150,000.00. comparing to McCain not remembering how many homes he owns, it appears tht Good Old Joe, doesn't know what his Net Worth is, or his doesn't know the definition of "Net Worth." More political propaganda. Tell the peope what they want to hear. If Good Old Joe Net Worth is only $175,000.00, then I sure wouldn't want him telling me about Economics.
JB St. Louis...
"Secondly, his leadership and experience have taken us down an in excusable path in Iraq"
Kinda hard for Biden to do that... He voted to go into Iraq!
My favorite Biden statement was how McCain was good for the country while Obama wasn't ready!... that's a good one!
It must be very difficult for Mr. Obama to be surrounded by people who are much more qualified for the Presidency than he. With Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Kennedy and soon Mr. Biden and President Clinton giving speeches at this less than exciting convention, by the time Mr. Obama speaks, it will be clear to everyone that the wrong person was chosen as the Democratic nominee. Sadly, with regrets and buyer’s remorse swirling like a tornado through the convention hall, Mr. Obama will appear oxygen-starved and unimpressive when he accepts his undeserved nomination.
Saying McCain is the same as Bush is only a political ploy. Obviously McCain is more centrist than Bush or Obama.
I hope obama-biden wins we don't need the war mongruel in there
obama 08
Go Joe Go!
We are all proud to have you on the ticket.
Biden is the attack dog, and we are letting him off the leash tonight.
Don't be scared now McCain. The truth is going to come out about you and Joe is going to let the people know how out of touch you are with everyday Americans.
Obama/Biden 08
Obama could have no chances of losing the election if he had picked Hilary as his VP. She, along with his suporters could and would have helped him win. I hope he can win without her but it doesn't look good for him. Too many Hillary supporters will not vote for him. Because of her speech last night, I will vote for him.
the first time most americans will see this six term senator? does this journalist think most americans tuned out the democratic debates, wasn't biden a candidate.
Joe did say 2000 John "Straight Talk" McCain would be good for this country but that was then and this is now with 2008 John "Double Talk" McSame. Double Down with everything Bush started. 2 wars will be 4 wars with Double Down John, Widen the poor education to no education. with Double down John . Weak US economy to a third world economy with Double Down John.
No Doubles for Me!
Obama picked a good running Mate Biden is going to go after Mcbush tonight everybody needs to tune in and watch the Future Vice President of the United States. Obama and Biden will Restore the American Dream to Americans and that dream is that if we all work hard we can achieve anything But these las 8 Years it seems like that Dream is Slipping because gas is going Up, College is Skyrocketing and Healthcare is Crippling American Families. It is time to take our Country Back. No Way No How No McBush!
What I don't understand is how can people who have never been a President of the U.S. tell someone they are not ready, prepared or even capable of being President. Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. And give me the name of a past President that had Presidential experience before being elected to the job?
I love Joe Biden. Too bad he wasn't the nominee and too bad Biden's leadership and experiences can't be transfered to Obama.
No Way, No How, No Obama!
McCain – 2008
Hillary – 2012
How in the heck are they letting him run With " THE GIFT " ?? I was hoping Oprah !! How dissapointing !! I was hoping for an OBAMA/WINFREY TICKET .
Look – the choice is simple at this point. Either vote for four more years of the same horribly failed policies we've had over the last 8 years. Or, you can vote for the regeneration and rebuilding of our country with Obama.
The choice is critical but very clear. We cannot afford McCain and his irrelevant ideas for 4 more years.
I dont understand why some people in the McSame camp and some GOP are so dumb.
Before you implement change you need to know how things are being done before. You can buy a company in agony and fire all the oldest workers and bring in new ones. That is the remedy for failure.
OBAMA is smart in choosing Biden and we smart people in the democratic party and even the smart republicans knows that.
Biden has far more years of political experience than McCain. Whoever stupidly only counts the years of experience should go for the Obama-Biden ticket.
I get so sick and tired of "Change" being the pitch word for Dems. People screamed for change and we got Carter. Not a bad man but clueless. We had hostages in captivity in Iran for over 400 days, we gave away the Panama Canal and pardoned all the jerks that ran to Canada when every other drafted soldier did their duty. Then people yelled "change" and we got Bill. That only opened the door to 9/11. Can anyone say USS Cole? Change isn't a bad thing but you see the Dems haven't delivered it - ever. I am ready for maturity, experience, bravery, humility and pride. None of that comes from the Obama crowd.
His speech is sure to be better than that of Gov. Sebellius, whose speech lacked any enthusiasm at all. It's no wonder Obama did not pick her as his runningmate.
Biden, 36 years expierence........
Maybe that's the problem with Washington....36 years
got us all these problems.....And they say we want change.
Clean out all those old foggies and then we'll get change.
U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, Republican, has won his primary victory even though he is under a Federal Indictment.
What does that say about the Party of Values and what does that say about the voter?
So the guy who gets 8,000 votes during the primary is VP while the women who get 18million votes got to speak on Tuesday. Oh but she told us to vote for Barrack so thats what we should do right? This election is a joke, they talk about all of us struggling, but yet they will be spending hundreds of millions of dollars, but for what? They wont do anything for us. All they will do is fill their own pockets.
As Charles Barkley said "Poor people have been voting democrat for 50 years, and they are still poor"
Biden brings experience, Obama brings dynamic and vision.
No one asked you to vote for Obama. We are proud of you. McCain will give you everything you want. No money, no job, no home, no college for your kids, no health insurance, no gas, no food, no vacation, you won't be able to think for yourself. I don't know about you, but I know America means freedom!!!!! McCain means another 4-8 years of what we have had for 8 years. I'll go with the Dems.
Oh yes the same Biden whimpering like a baby Biden is the dumbest man in the Senate. His hair plugs must be in too tight
I think some people here would make great political advisors. I have read some great suggestions, especially the idea that experience is not necessarily a good thing if it means we end up in a mess in Iraq. Also, another great idea put forth suggesting that Joe Biden tell the American people exactly why he has changed his mind about Obama since they campaigned in the primary. That would help to deflect the sting of the Republicans attack ads showing Biden attacking Obama as not ready to be president.
I think the red meat that everyone has been craving will be delivered by Joe Biden, in what could well be one of the toughest attacks on McCain and the Bush administration. This is right up his alley. I think he will deliver big time tonight and I can't wait.
Go Joe!
Just please don't get so into your past personal life that you end up shedding tears. I think it is great when a man shows emotion adn speaks from the heart, but at a convention for president and vice-president, it's not the place or the time.
Save those moments for one on one interviews, but mention your first wife adn daughter who were lost in a car accdient. talk about how you raised your boys who survived, took your first oath of office as a first-term Senator at the bedside of your small son who was recuperating in the hospital while trying to comfor him not only from his physical wounds, but for having just lost his mother and baby sister.
Then hit Mccain and Bush HARD! Expose them for what they are.
I have total confidence in Joe Biden.Though I don't think the convention hall will be able to contain his excitement. He's been waiting a long time to just make it this far.I'm sure it will be quite a speech.
Yesterday I saw my first:
"Republicans for Obama" bumper sticker.
I think the reason why not too many people get excited about these things is that we don't want to be over confident. This was indeed the case during the last election fiasco.
BIDEN – OBAMA would have been better.go mccain.
no on the job training !we can't afford another bush!obama 2050!
Hillary 2012
It's over for Obama. Biden is the most boring, self absorbed speaker I've ever heard. The honeymoon is over for the chosen one, now we'll start to see that he's in waaaaaay over his head.
Judgment will always tramp expedience any day.
Two examples:
Bill Clinton 1992 an unknown governor from a SMALL state of Arkansas with executive experience.
George W Bush 2000 an unknown governor from a BIG state of Texas, with a household name and executive experience.
You think both their presidencies would produce similar results? Not quite. Why you ask? The answer is plain and simple the gray matter between the ears counts for everything. One person can’t govern a nation but it’s the people they surround themselves with that matter the most. Obama keeps showing that he’s firing on all cylinders but for McCain….well I do honor out veterans, POWs and senior citizens but I don’t want story teller in our WH.
I wonder if Biden will flip-flop and tell us Obama has experience now...Hillary didn't. If he does I wonder what experience he has gotten in the last 8 months to make him change his mind.
I am sure when McCain picks Romney you dems with say the same thing, but remember one thing...Hillary and Biden didn't really disagree too much on the POLICY Obama had...they simply said he didn't have the experience.
McCain and Romney on the other had differed on policy, but neither one said the other didn't have enough EXPERIENCE.
McCain is dangerously uneducated!
Ditto Election Watcher....
It's amazing how the Democrats got the ticket backwards! I mean, how does it happen that the guy with the LEAST experience wins the nomination, and the guy with the MOST experience is second-banana? Brilliant strategy, dems.... Way to go!
Why isn't the news talking about Obama being right and Bush following his lead on setting up a timetable. The media is biased. People are screaming Barack doesn't have experience but clearly this shows he does. The Bush Administration is following his lead. You suck CNN. You should be shouting this news from the rooftop but instead you want to cover stories that are not true and things about his character. You are a bunch of paid croonies. Setting things up for John McCain to win so that you have news to report when he messes up our world. All you look for is controversy not real news! BBC is the best and I advise everyone to start looking at it for real coverage.
Ratings=DEATH TRAP!
One comment I hope to hear in Biden's speech is how as V.P. he will be on the job, ready to go, ready to lead and fight and not one who is constantly hiding in some "undisclosed location" like a hypocrite and coward when things get tough.
The most awesome thing about Joe Biden is how he's not afraid to tell it like it is. You go, bulldog!
Biden is a good match for McCain. The senate experience that he touts, Biden also has it. Unless he's still claiming that being a captured soldier, released courtesy of influential naval chief father makes him greater than all and offers him express certificate to be American President. We non americans are concerned because we dont want any worsening of world economy with election of another warrior. NO TO MCSAME.
Let me guess. Biden will make another "great speech". Why do Obama supporters think speeches are band aids on gaping wounds? The bleeding is too great.
I voted for Hillary and I am still voting for McCain.
give 'em hell joe!
I hope the Hillary cult listens to why he was a better running mate than her.
OBiden '08
I'm very excited to see Joe Biden speak tonight. The only one I won't watch is Bill Clinton. What a disappointment you have turned out to be, not only for the Democratic party, but for your wife! I'm an ex-republican and voted for you the second time around. I also voted for John McCain in the primaries in 2000. I admire Hillary so very much, and I admire her for everything that she stands for. You are the reason she lost the nomination. Bill needs to shut up right now, Barack was NOT the reason she lost...you are. She probably would have had the nomination if it were not for you constantly putting your foot in your mouth. I'm so glad you will not be at Invesco Field with the other "true Democrats," you would just bring them down. Come on America...wake up! I respect and admire both Hillary and Barack, but there can only be one candidate. Now get out there and vote for Barack Obama, our future is at stake!
SIC'EM BOY!!!
I am very tired of the attack ads coming from McCain. I am tired of CNN giving him free air time. I believe in the high road tactics that Obama uses. He stays above the fray. But I really do want to see some attacks on McCain from other groups. That will kill the McCain campaign. So, I say, GO GET'EM. LET THE REPUGS FEEL THE PAIN OF THEIR OWN REALITY.
Deep statement of the day,
If McCain wins, WE will be the ones that are Prisoners Of War
Nothing hurts more than the TRUTH.....
LET 'EM HAVE IT, JOE!
OBAMA / BIDEN 08
ROOAAAR!
way too much racism still in our nation. it could be a GREAT nation if we could get past our petty mentalities... but from comments i see here of people who will "never support obama" for no specific reason other than they won't, how else is one to think?
OBAMA '08 and beyond!!!!!
and by the way, the whole experience argument is void people... no one experiences or has experience being POTUS until they get there! NOT before!
Get at them Joe. PA is behind you and OBAMA!!!!!
Obama/Biden '08
Say what's so, Joe!!!!!
DEMOCRACTS 08, OBAMA,BIDEN, BILL AND HILL, LETS GO GET THEM DEMS...
That would be a far cry from Obama is not ready and McCain would be good for this country. It is going to be hard to live down those statements. Biden has allot of experience, that is a good thing but before he was offered to be the #2 man in the country his experience told him that Obama has not got the experience needed to be president.
Have been a Joe Biden fan for 35 years....He always made sense,
was honest and cared.....Also, if narrowminded people would do a
little homework....they would see by now that Senator Obama is
extremely well educated, organized and has the energy of youth...
I see him surrounding himself with the best minds....The way the
country is now, we need many good people working 24/7 to get us
back to solid ground.....
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Since the comments were closed for” McCain paints Obama as 'dangerously unprepared'. I’ll post my comment here.
I have really become dismayed with this Network. This is the Democrats week and all you do is try to divide the Democratic Party. Hillary has stated she is a Democrat first and will be voting for Obama. There is no more divisive comments to be made about the party. Anyone who refuses to vote Democrat is not a real Democrat. Why are all the Rethugs on this week, who care about their opinion this week. They will have their chance next week. If possible CNN can you just focus on the Dems, and wait for next to have your Rethugs friends on. As of right now I’m still switching between MSNBC and CNN. If this continues though the rest of the week, I will never watch CNN again.
As for as dangerous I live in New Orleans, and going through another Katrina with a McTwin Administration would be very dangerous. I rather have Obama and Biden anytime
CAN JOE BIDEN DELIVER? HILLARY CLINTON DELIVERED SOUNDLY AND BY ALL ACCOUNTS ELECTRIFIED THE DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES . SHE PUT COUNTRY AND PARTY FIRST . THAT PUT HER ABOVE THE REST AND HER PSEECH LAST NIGHT WILL BE REMEMBERED LONG AFTER THIS ELECTION.
WHAT A TOUGH WOMAN AND GRACIOUS AND UNSELFISH IN DEFEAT EVEN AFTER THE WAY THE OBAMA CAMP TREATED HER WITH DISRESPECT. AND ARROGANCE.
I will admit that Hillary's speech last night was good. I don't have the slightest clue why she isn't Obama's VP choice, but that decision will hurt him I think. Democrats-you really show your maturity and intelligence level when you refer to McCain as McSame, McBush, McWar. It's sad that Democrats have lowered themselves to name-calling as a last resort. So pathetic you hippies are.
McCain can't win on honesty–its all smoke and mirrors and lies.
Mc Cain is the one that wants you to be taxed on your health benefits–Nice thing for the U>S>–we pay enough for everything .McCain is also taking away a womans choice to choose–he's choosing for you.
And at 3 A.M. hes taking his meds , so he won't be making the right choice if God forbid he needs to.
McCAin== old white haired man that should be retired NOW !
Hopefully Joe won't plagiarize too much.
McCain a centrist? Wow, you need to do a little more research before you reduce this to "a political ploy." Fact is, Hillary is to the left of Obama, based on their respective voting records, and McCain is over in Bob Barr territory, out in the weeds in right.
Now, maybe the McCain of 2000 was a centrist, but that McCain doesn't exist anymore.
1. Open mouth
2. Insert foot
3. Rinse and repeat
We are in big trouble.
Good Luck Joe! - You and Senator Obama are the Change we have been waiting for! Call us to action, we are ready to go to work for Country and our Future.
I'm Sidin'
with Obama & Biden!
H O U S T O N,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,W E,,,,,,,,,,,,,H A V E,,,,,,,,,,,,A,,,,,,,,,,,P R O B L E M,,,,
Go get 'em, Joe. John McCain used to be a great man, but I've lost all respect for him as he swung hard to the right to try to appeal to the right wing of his party. We're on to you, John.
Obama-Biden 2008/12
I am hopeful the final two days of the convention will have some specifics, especially Obama SHOULD outline some of his plans and policies. Enough of the emotionalism and pure "show time stuff." I love it, but know the Republicans will begin on "day one" of their convention hitting the Dems......we need to BEGIN THE ATTACK!
Charles Barkley said people who don't vote for Barack Obama are idiots.
I agree.
I hope Joe rips into GOP, he's the perfect candidate for attack dog. Hopefully he won't make too many gaffes in the process. I think Obama cool and collected style is misunderstood as week, which has typically been a curse for the Dem's. I mean heaven forbid we have a president who is actually an intellectual. I mean Gore and Kerry might not have been the most fired up candidates but man wouldn't we be in a better place. Joe adds good fire to the ticket. Sick 'em Joe!!!!
Obama's pick as been widely accepted; just a tip of the iceberg of quality decisions-making. Mccain's choice would be a subject of critical review.
I understand that Mccain's camp is in topsy-turvy as to who to choose as vp.
The world needs a change in the way thigns are done in America!
Obama.Biden – Perfect ticket to the white house.
The issue raised regarding Biden speaking against Obama in the primaries is a non-issue to anyone who knows politics. Biden was vying for the democratic nomination and in doing so needed to speak poorly of anyone he was up against regardless of how he truly felt. If he hadn't, he'd be giving kudo's to those individuals who were his rivals at the time.
"Change we can believe in" or, more precisely "Once we get done cleaning your wallets out, I believe that we will let you keep the change"!
good. Go Joe !!!!!! Hit McWar hard. Get him on economics....He says he doesn't understand this area. That has been proven by the "how many homes ?" Also, all the economic hardships being suffered right now are completely related to "ALL" the bushy /chenney acts done to ALL American families,with the exception being the wealthy,oil types.
Go get him.
Biden is all bark. He's bound to say something stupid, like he always does. His latest lies on the church's stance on abortion have the bishops scathing at his remarks.
Anything for a vote...
One day the poor will wake up and realise that the democrats have done NOTHING to help get them out of poverty.
Dems...buying votes from the poor since forever.
How many speakers at the convention now? ....none has yet to tell us why Obama is fit to lead this country.
I hope Biden says "McCain = Bush" a thousand times during his speech. The more times he says it the more people in america will believe it!
A real shame that Bobby Jindal won't be McCain's running mate, then Biden could have pulled out his wonderfully tactful comment about needing an indian accent to walk into a 7-Eleven.
Can't wait to see the Senator from Delaware implode on the campaign trail.
Travis sounds very bitter... Yes, poor people have been voting for Democrats for years and they makes steps forward under Democratic leadership but that is all ruined when fiscally irresponsible and self serving administrations like the Bush's take a surplus a drive it directly into the ground. This election is about change but it takes people to believe for it to happen, take the chip off your shoulder and let's move forward. Be involved in that change so we can see it through.
well do you think he should get up there and now say obama is ready to be president ,everyone is down on hillary because she did not include in her speach last night. the fact is he is not ready and will never be ready all he can do is give a speach he should be a preacher instead of running for president.
