Joe Biden is right about Hillary…but Obama didn't have the sense, common or political, to see that. It's always interesting how the Democrats can find ways to lose a "slam-dunk" election. Of course, it's hard to win when people don't trust your philosophy: kill the unborn, indoctrinate kids, kiss up to Europe, and tax the hell out of everyone.

You idiots!! Hillary is a close personal friend of his and he was being respectful, gracious, and complimentary… not to mention that Hillary really IS qualified to be VP. She just didn't get chosen…. just like Liebermann and Ridge didn't get chosen, and they were WAYYYYYYYYYYY more qualified to be VP than Palin was!!!

As a matter of fact, EVERY other Republican candidate for VP was more qualified to be VP than Palin. She was only chosen because she's a woman and is a fresh face AND nobody knows anything about her yet… and that will change real soon!!

Unlike Palin, the Democratic ticket has two very ready and qualified candidates that could interchangeably be VP. Republicans don't even have ONE!! Palin's STILL being schooled on Domestic and Foreign Policy for tomorrow's cake-walk interview.

Then she'll do one for FIX-ed news next!! She's just not ready to spread her wings and fly on her own… Republicans are VERY scared about Palin leaving the nest… and for good reason!!! What a noobie!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!! VOTE SMART… NOT SENILE!!!

Palin has DIVIDED this nation…….this is what will happen if McCain wins….EVERYBODY will be fighting with EVERBODY and NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Palin is WORST than Cheney.

McCain Once Blamed Palin's Bridge for the MN Collapse
We now know that the truth is that Slick Sarah Palin supported the Bridge to Nowhere before she "opposed" it.
But did you know that the man responsible for foisting her on America blamed that bridge and Palin's hunger for federal pork for the collapse of the infamous August 2007 I-35 bridge collapse in Minnesota? Well, now you do.
No wonder they're so sensitive about pig comments.

Wow, admitting that your partner may have picked the wrong person. And I thought McCain was the one who needed his judgement questioned. At least he is not questioned by the very person who picked him!!

OH….

Again… the Obama campaign admits a mistake…

one, two, three, four…. the never ending circle of stupid ideas…

Obama 08…. yea right

NO MORE SAME FOUR YEARS.
NO MORE SAME FOUR YEARS.
NO MORE SAME FOUR YEARS.
NO MORE SAME FOUR YEARS.
NO MORE SAME FOUR YEARS.
NO MORE SAME FOUR YEARS.
NO MORE SAME FOUR YEARS.
NO MORE SAME FOUR YEARS.

I AM NOT A SUPPORTER OF HILLIARY CLINTON AND I AM GLAD BARACK CHOSE BIDEN. ALTHOUGH I DO THINK HILLIARY IS A STRONG WOMAN AND I ADMIRE HER FOR HER INTELLECT. BUT I DO NOT THINK SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD PICK FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

I think Biden is a very honorable man standing up for Hillary like that. The repubs might want to swiftboat his comments, but it won't diminsh his honor as a man, a person, and the next VP of the United States. I'm almost certain that Obama has big plans for Hillary in his administration, something more powerful and more important than being a VP.

We just have to hang in there Democrats and Independents. The Obama/Biden ticket is just the change we need.

Always the humble Biden. I love this guy!

As a supporter of Hillary Clinton, I was mad when she wasn't chosen. If not Hillary, then Biden for me. You don't find guys as decent as Biden anymore. He is a great guy!

Sorry it took me so long to post this, as I have been filling out my expense reports for work. It took a little longer because I am claiming expenses for nights spent at my home and for meals cooked in my kitchen. I'm sure my boss won't mind. In fact, I should get a promotion to a much more important position.

How pathetic is Biden and the democrats. Way to cut yourself off at the knees. If you didn't think you were a good choice why did you take the job?

What a fool they think we are that now that they realize they are losing because they underestimated McCain they think Hillary will come and save them.

You can replace yourself all you want it won't change the fact that Obama wrote two books about himself and not one Law.

At least Biden has the guts to actually answer a question when asked, unlike his opponent, Gov Palin who has yet to answer any questions from the media or audience.

He's Obama's choice and so be it. And at least now all the sexist bloggers and commentators, surrogates and whoever have a woman that they can heap sexist comments on like: calling Palin a poodle, lipstick, catty, stewardess, little beauty queen, and this is just from one blog section. For some reason, it's OK to make sexist remarks about a female candidate, but heaven forbid anyone even hint of a racial comment about Obama. Obama did not have the audacity to choose Clinton and now there is another woman that his campaign will try and play the "sexist" card on . . .

Country First really means John McCain First, then Sarah, then John McCain, then Sarah, then…..

If John had thought about country first, he wouldn't have picked a stewardess for the job of VP.

Obama/Biden 08

He is going to get out and that will only leave Hilary to sve the party. I can't wait to here his reason. It will be a dandy.

Any so-called "judgment" argument will raise the question of Sarah Palin's complete and utter lack of any experience whatsoever. So please, bitter Puma's and delusional Republicans — take this and run with this. Let's have a 'judgment' argument about VP picks.

Joe was being gracious. He is a statesman on a level with Obama; both men of quiet grace and dignity, who can speak up when they need to and raise a little heck! AND those older white folks in that audience were lovin' Joe! I still think for all the hype and loud talk from HRC supporters, had Obama selected her, there are plenty of folks he would have lost having a woman on the ticket…as has been said, racism and sexism, they ain't dead folks! Joe is an honorable person who gave credit where credit was due, but it was merely gratutious…the right person was selected to be Obama's VP.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!

Wonder why Obama picked Biden in the first place, inferiority complex, inconfidence in himself as a Commander-in-chief in a dangerous world, dealing with the world-leaders, and with a complex economic condition at home and abroad? Either Clinton or Palin is more qualified than Biden, or even Obama.

I want to know why he would let a black man kiss his wife on the lips, Iwould knocked the hell out of him.

Did I said that before…….? Hillary is better than any body. So, now too late we're jump to vote for McKill, McBush and McSame now, we just don't care about BHO anymore because DNC let women down. Look Hillary got more vote than BHO and JB if stupid DNC count Florida and Michigan in the first time. I think Hillary should be President of the United States 2009 but 90% of AA's too stupid their just vote for their own color that's why their learning now. Too late yOOOOOOOO AA's.

No Joe, Hillary should and was the American majrority DNC voters choice, but Nancy Pelosi had to finagle her own corrupt deal to make OBAMA the chosen one……is would have been a landslide victory if HILLARY/BIDEN were the official DNC ticket.
You are not the problem, people respect you, OBAMA is not yet designed nor experienced enough to lead our country. And most women will white female women over age 60 hate what the DNC did to HILLARY and WE will NEVER FORGET~!

Joe, you're the better vp choice, but some of us out here understand what you were trying to say and applaud you for being gracious.

Palin/McCain supporters – stop capitalizing your blogs (note, only small children do that when learning alphabet) – you look silly even before people start to read your posts:). But please don't you worry – we know who you are anyway – the same stupid people who lead this great country and all of us into the Bush/Cheney swamp. Only in your dreams you'll see yourself winning again and drowning us all in Bush/Cheney-Palin/McCain swamp. Well, in just 55 days, on November 4, be yourself (you lazy couch potatoes), stuff youself with junk, and don't forget to switch on your favorite FoxNews channel and get ready to loose big – you deserve it!

Obama/Biden 2008!

Slip Number 1456. So what? He was honest? Shoot him for it. He didn't say she was more qualified or would be a better VP to Obama.

Clearly Obama was thinking of who he wanted to govern with and you can't blame him for not wanting Hillary. I wouldn't have chosen her, not because of her qualifications, but because of what went down in th primaries and how it would have looked in choosing her.

Biden is qualified, will do fine and was a good pick.

O B AM A,,,,,,,,,W I LL ,,,,,,,,,,,P I C K,,,,,,,,,,,,M I C H E LL E ,,,,,O,,,,4,,,,,,V P

My guess….Obama is having lunch with Bill Clinton tomorrow, right? Now why would that be announced to the media a few days ago? It's obvious he's having lunch w/Bill to discuss strategy and how Bill took the WH away from the GOP. Hillary has been pretty quiet, too, and just staying out of things when this would be ripe pickins' for her to go after Palin.

This is probably very, very far-fetched, but based on how this race has been going with all these twists and turns and outrageous things happening….Biden's remarks could be a prelude to something:

Biden steps down – picked to be Secretary of State instead.
Obama picks up Hillary to be VP

Anything for the good of the Party to take the WH back, right??

DNC waltzes into the WH with McShame/Lyin' Palin/Rove dead in their tracks with their mouths open, going "HUH…what just happened?"

It's a bizarre scenario, but as Rita Rudner would say…"It could happen!"

SARAH PALIN THINKS GLOBAL WARMING IS A MYTH.JOHN McCAIN THINKS ITS REAL.WHO IS RIGHT?

Sarah's skirt is not big enough to hide the entire GOP debacle. Someday she will have to come out from behind the Witness Protection Program.

Joe Biden

I adore you and want you to be vice president.

BUT, if we want to survive the insanity of Simple-minded Sarah, would you consider stepping down so Hillary can run for vice president?

I think something HUGE has to happen to save Obama's candidacy from the crazed and senile McCain and his uneducated small-minded running mate?

I'm sure he had good reason for saying this. Let's just wait and see what it is. Somehow I think this goes against Repubs

Did we forget all the slash and burn comments of the primaries by both sides??? The Republicans would have had a FIELD DAY with and Obama Clinton ticket. They would have made a MOCKERY of them trying to be on the same ticket. How quickly we forget!!! Biden I am one unhappy Obama supporter right now.

Even if Hillery was on the ticket for VP. I still would NOT vote Dem.
to much dirt in the Dem. party and there will be no Obama vote out of my house. Hillery Lets give them hell next time. You were shanghied and knifed by those who were supposed to be your friends.
I hope I live long enough to be able to vote for you for Pres. in 4 yrs.

Biden v Putin

or

Palin v Putin

Name any other foreign leader (friend or foe) and who would you want representing us? Do we need cowboy "diplomacy" anymore or will that just further alienate us and make people hate us more?

I actually respect Joe Biden for saying this. It's been a crazy race to the White House, hasn't it?

HILLARY VS. THE PIG AT THE DEBATES….JOE IS GOING TO TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM!!!!

Campaign after campaign can fail on a single line.

Biden sucks

FOLFS WE SOULD ALL STOP KIDDING AROUND AND DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO ELECT OBAMA AND BIDEN,MCCAIN AND PALIN OR WHATEVER HER NAME IS WOULD BE DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA.WE ARE TIRED OF WAR. PEACE,GOOD ECONOMY AND SECURITY IS WHAT WE NEED.ALL THESE ARE THE THINGS THE REPUBLICANS HATE.HOW DARE CAN ANY BODY TAKE THE RIGHT FROM A CITIZIN TO CHOOSE WHAT HE OR SHE WANT.MY FRIEND THINK WISELY AND VOTE OBAMA.PEACE

What an honest and gracious answer, Joe Biden will make a awesome VP of the US, unlike Palinocchio, I wonder how she can see the teleprompter with that ever growing schnozz in the way!

Ok

for all of you who are saying, they are not going to vote for obama because he did not choose hillary for vp, I got news for you if obama loose this election,we will make sure to do the same to hillary when she runs at 2012.

Hey YOU PEOPLE who say Obama is who you want for PRESIDENT,

He just gave the Repubs more to look silly and foolish about instead of them realizing the greatness of the man, which all of us do, right??

Of course right.

OBAMA/BIDEN NOW!!!

HOW I WISH PALING CAN COMMENT ON OTHER GOP PICK B4 HER WITHOUT READING SCRIPTS…LOL CANT DO IT. I COULDNT BELIEVE SAME AMERICA READING SAMETHING EVERYWHERE OBAMA HAS BEEN AND NEVER MAKE UP SOMETHING FROM THEIR BRAINS……THEY ARE SO SMART OR WHAT DO U CALL THAT!!!!

Do you hear that? No? That silence is the American people ignoring the constant whining of liberals. All you libs on this site should realize America keeps voting against liberals because WE DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN YOUR COMMUNIST DREAM!!! It's funny to see you all crying as the Obama campaign continues to spiral toward its bitter end.

And he also said Obama was not qualified to be President. So we settled for second best at the VP and P spot.

Hello President McCain.

Palin Rocks…

I feel this presidential race is a joke all the smeering of everyone is sickening, I was a democrat but now I will be voting for McCain as Obahma has cut down McCain and his running mate but leave his wife and children out of it ah what is good for you Obahma should be good for everyone else . One new REPUBLICAN

Biden's qualified, Clinton's qualified, and Palin's a joke.

The further meaning in Biden's statement is that the Democrats have a much better pool of qualifications to select from to lead going forward.

To all you women! SHUT UP! Being a woman doesn't make me any different than my male co-workers. I will work just as hard as them and I make as much as the men in my office.

I am so tired of females wanting to be treated the same then crying when someone might use the same tough talk a man would get.

Women, I love Hillary too, but GET OVER IT. We cannot have a CRAZY woman and her Old Man McSame ruin this country worse than Bush.

Like even Pat Buchanan said, "McCain will make Cheney look like Ghandi" and Palin thinks that the Iraq war is a "Task from God"!!!

Post this since I am a strong woman. A white woman who doesn't make much money but can think for herself!

I'm a married stay at home suburb mom and I would not want Sarah Palin in the white house…

What will she tell world leaders who talk about her and criticize her…"you're sexist?!" People like Putin aren't going to care.

The GOP need to stop yelling "sexist" because they would cry foul if OBAMA yelled "Racist".

Joe's only problem is that he didn't bring any VOTES to the ticket. Votes matter!! Hillary would have brought along millions of votes!

As a Hillary supporter , I am glad that Obama didn^t choose Hillary…

I wanted Joe Biden from the beginning. I am glad that Obama chose him. He is a real American.

Dear SJC,

I was about to say the same thing about the Repugs. Two unqualified candidates, one is ill, and the other is ill-informed.

I guess the sjc stand for sick, jealous and crazed.

Obama/Biden

I find his honesty and candor refreshing. Contrast that to McCain and Palin who are clearly not fit for office.

Let the idiots parroting the sexist talk begin their prattling. The rest of us will be dealing with the issues at hand.

Am I the only person that actually read why he began talking about her? He was defending her, people. Come on, that's a good thing.

i have lot of admiration for Joe Biden and to speak the truth about Hillary Clinton, they sould be both on the ticket to tackle the republicans and to handle what Bush left for us, i feel like Hillary shouldn't attack Palin, why should she? the woman has been muddled by the media, by Obama campaign, trashed and thrown from the V.P position and now Obama people want to use her to attack Palin, so let the woman have some pride, and of course the media found it self trapped in either continue supporting Obama or hipe Palin who's coming fast and furious. So in my opinion and over sudden Hillary is the saviour for them after she gets blamed on everything bad happen to the darling of the media Obama.
I'm a democrat and i'll vote democrat not because Obama but because of Biden which was my first choice for president andof course now there is no other alternative, because i salute Regan who said "Republican shouldn't attack other republican" well that goes for Democrats also who mappd the floor with Bill and Hillary Clinton in order to please Obama.

Wow, a breath of fresh air in the campaign. Why wouldn't I want this man as my Vice President. He understands his place in history and how he is serving the people of the country, not the other way around.

He's trying to say, Hillary Clinton is definitely qualified, but Sarah Palin is not. Read between the lines, people.

Anonymous

the repbulicans gave us this economic mess. they outsoursed our jobs, refuse to increase the minimum wage and won't provide healthcare. If you think republicans have the answer to our economic crisis, then name me a plan that they have to create jobs and improve the economy.

So is Biden trying to chase people over to vote GOP?? In order for him to make that statement must be having 2nd thoughts about his own nomination. So I say, "Step Down Now", and let Hillary step into the VP nomination position and let's see how the hypethetical Poll swings and how fast. That would definitely "trump" McCain's play/ploy to get votes. Those women that are just going to vote GOP because Palin is a women would sure have a dilema on their hands wouldn't they. Come Biden step down I dare you, if you say Hillary is just as qualified or more than you Prove It, I dare you!
Barack Obama please listen up.
God please hear our prayer.

After hearing this I have a 'tingle down my leg' knowing that Palin and McCain will wipe the floor with these fools come debate day.

There is a reason Obama hasn't debated McCain like he said he would.
He is a worse debater than McCain is public speaker.

Palin just has to let Biden insert his foot in his mouth to win her debate.

When that happens it will be BUSHs fault right Sen Obama??
Everything else is right???

Ok, NC voter. So…Obama and Biden are in the trenches as McCain and Palin are…not? McCain and Palin read from scripts and Obama and Biden don't? You may not be shallow, but there is no logic behind your thinking. There is also no logic behind what Biden said about Hillary possibly being the better pick. Is he out of his mind? He just gave us Republicans another reason to doubt these two. There is also no logic about why people would want to pick a first term senator from Illinois who has nothing to show to run our country. No logic whatsoever.

From Factcheck.org regarding McCain's newest ad:

Less Than Honest
With its latest ad, released Sept. 10, the McCain-Palin campaign has altered our message in a fashion we consider less than honest. The ad strives to convey the message that FactCheck.org said "completely false" attacks on Sarah Palin had come from Sen. Barack Obama. We said no such thing. We have yet to dispute any claim from the Obama campaign about Palin.

They call the ad "Fact Check." It says "the attacks on Gov. Palin have been called 'completely false' … 'misleading.' " On screen is a still photo of a grim-faced Obama. Our words are accurately quoted, but they had nothing to do with Obama.

very gracious thing for Biden to say. Of course, the republicans (liars that they are) will take this out of context.

Maybe there is a chance that Hillary will be the one debating Sarah Palin hee hee….

Why did Biden make that remark? Couldn't he have just said that he was flattered but that Hillary Clinton is just as qualified as he is. Obama's current challenge is getting his team to declare their committment to his message. I still believe that Obama has a good chance of winning but it will be despite of all his critics.

Hillary 2016

Obama until then. Joe Biden is smart enough to know that injecting Hillary into the race fuels the talk the Sarah NO PLAN Palin is no Hillary Clinton, not by a long shot.

How could Obama have ignored Hillary Clinton? He is either stupid or arrogant.

Talk/write about spin here. Biden did NOT say Hillary would hae been the better choice. He said she is as qualified if not more qualified. He did not say she was the better choice. Being "more qualified" does not mean a better choice. Biden is certainly quite qualified to be VP. Biden has strengths that HRC does not. Hillary would have been a scandal drag on the ticket.

Well Joe, do you want the job or not? I find that comment very insulting. It sounds like you are questioning Obama's judgment. This is why the republicans continue to win. Democrats can be so stupid sometimes it's ridiculous.

To all those who doubt Obama's pick. It was HIS pick to make. It was about who HE thought HE could work with better.

I think Joe Biden is a humble man and that is where his statement comes from. With all the bashing the GOP are doing, you can't blame him for reacting this way. He may feel partly responsible and might consider that had Obama chosen Hillary, McCain would not have chose the moose-hunter. But Joe Biden should not apologize. He deserves the job of Vice President.

In the end Obama did the right thing in chosing Joe Biden. He kept his principals and integrity intact. Something McCain and his camp can't comprehend.

Oh geez. Are the liberal freakoids gonna pull the ole switch-er-roo????? Billary VP????????????????

The bottom line is Dems are happy with their VP, and the GOP is happy with theirs. Now we have to wait for the rest of the folks to way in.

Sarah Bell, if Joe Biden himself says that Hillary is more qualified than him to be president, let alone VP, how is Obama putting country first?

Dream on Obama cult members.

50 something days before an extremly important election and 13 days after she was introduced. Sarah Palin is yet to have a conversation with the american poeple. yet they call the words of a man in the race for about 2 years "EMPTY". ITS surprising to me how so many of you can be fooled by these people. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

With the polls tightening up, what could this mean:
a) there are way more religious zealots than I realized in this country,'
b) people are that flaky and go which ever way the wind blows,
or
c) people in the US would rather vote for a 72 year old man promising "change" and a woman who honestly believes her relationship with God is the only one that matter than vote for a black man.
I really hope it's a or b, but either way, it's a sad time in the advancement of America!

OMG where is the ticker about Palin allowing people to shoot wolves from the air in Alaska. Are you kidding me?

My Lord this woman is CRAZY!

One thing for sure is that the McCain supporters are definitely following their leaders, they just don't get it. They consistantly refuse to talk about the issues. And Manuel from TX you're not fooling anyone, you're no democrat, never have been.

READ WHAT HE SAID IN CONTEXT, for Pete's Sake. You silly people sometimes drive me nuts.

Joe Biden is exactly who we need to run with Obama. He is a decent and honest man who will work hist tail off as he has always done for Obama and for ALL of US!!

It was rude of the one in the audience to do as he did and Biden did exactly the right thing.

It sure is alot better than watching McLame rock on his heels while his "Stepford Wife" does all the work.

Sounds like Biden doesn't even want to vote for his ticket as he feels they are not as qualified as the Republican ticket and Biden is the most qualified on his ticket!!!! I don't think I would want to be the most qualified person for the position and on the bottom of the ticket either.

We love you Joe!
Joe was just trying to be humble and say nice things about Hillary.
Joe is a very honorable man with integrity.

O and Joe '08

Way to focus on a throwaway line. How about pointing out that Biden criticized Bush for not condemning Mideast countries' oil ties after 9/11? You see, it's not that Obama/Biden aren't fighting on the issues, it's just that the media chooses not to focus on it! You're doing a disservice to political discourse, CNN.

It is truely amazing that the people who think they are the base of the republican party (low and middle income blue collar, church going whites) continue to think that voting the same type of people into office is going to give them a different result.

You're anti choice or pro life?

You just had a Republican President for 8 years, a Republican Congress for 6 years, and a moderate to conservative court for that entire time.

I dont' remember any hard republican push to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Every four years they try to get the so called "base" to turn out to vote for prolife, pro gun, less government, anti gay presidents and representatives and they never deliver.

You are all being used.

The sad part is you don't even care as long as someone you think you can't stand doesn't win. What is that phrase about cutting off your nose to spite your face?

And now you're considering voting in someone more hawkish than Bush to send your sons and daughters off to fight thier corporate wars for the sake of patriotism?

McCain was just in clips about expanding markets for American products. Wake up. He was talking about CAFTA without naming it. One of his first trips as a candidate was to Columbia, a nation one of his staffers is a lobbiest for. Say goodbye to more American jobs.

When are you all going to wake up and realize that the true base of the republican party really does have an income of several hundred thousand dallors to several million dallors. Look at his tax cut proposal.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results

I'm a diehard Obama/Biden supporter, but I'm beginning to wonder if Joe Biden is cut out for all this. All this self-deprecating nonsense, first with Palin and now HRC, dude, show some grapefruits for once in your life!!

Now IS Joe Biden second thoughts about himself.? That is a shame.Should never happen. Maybe he is having second thoghts about Obama. That Dem ticket should have been Biden/Clinton no matter which slot they had. But the brainwashed idiots and media and sneeky Obama camp and the spineless DNC all being led by the Pied Piper, got wht they wanted. For now.
NOOBAMA

The media needs to put the spotlight on Biden and show how Biden will help Obama change American. Also, to highlight McCain’s weaknesses.

So what’s the real deal, McCain picked Palin not because he is worried about women, but to distract voters from Biden. McCain was worried about Biden getting media attention. Biden has been in DC longer. Who else in the campaign knows McCain better then Biden? Who else can challenge his record, or reveal whatever else he may know about McCain over the years. Question is, what does Biden know???

Yep, and the polls would not be this close with Clinton as President or V.P., unfortunately. The dems should be far ahead in the polls considering the circumstances. By pushing Clinton out of the race, the dems have shot themselves in the foot once again. Go figure.

Top the spin people!! He paid Clinton a gushing compliment. He didn't say he was unqualified. Does the word "might" mean anything to you?

I'd rather have someone humble like Joe than arrogant like McCain and Palin. Those two can't seem to admit to any mistakes and blatanly lie about themselves and others EVERYDAY.

I have to weigh in again. I believe that he is being tactical – something is up.

Obama couldn't pick Hillery because he couldn't watch his back. The Dems are so vicious they scare each other. Its a three ring circus.The democrats are nothing but a big joke.

I am putting my tv up for sale on Ebay. Any takers?

I totally agree with him, but I think this comments will hurt the party

To all the Hillary 2012 airheads like rusty: Be careful what you ask for. By the time the GOP rearranges the Supreme Court and gets us into a new Cold War, two time cancer survivor McCain dies and leaves the supreme right wing nutjob hockey mom in charge. Evangelicals play her like a drum and leave such a mess your lady Hill won't know what to do first to save America.

Anyone who wants Obama to lose because they support Hillary Clinton in 2012 is not only an idiot, they're a disgrace to those of us who are and will always be real Democrats.

I think the media sees it as a challenge to take things out of context as quickly as possible to make it "newsworthy."

"Where were you before Joe" said it beautifully.

Looks like a bit of political expediency to me here from Biden camp. NOW that Obama's poll numbers are spiraling downward, he is going to come out and be effusive about Sen. Clinton and her qualifications. Too bad he didn't do more of this while Obama was turning his nose up at Clinton, refusing to even consider her for the VP slot. Instead, he was running around practically begging Obama for the position.

Cheap way to try and lull Hillary supporters.

Won't work for me.

This lifelong Dem will be voting for McCain/Palin '08.

PUMA

I'm beginning to agree with Biden, not because I think Hillary would have been a better pick, but because Biden cannot even produce confidence in the ticket!!! What is he trying to do? Hash up old feelings and sabotage Obama??? I'm beginning to not trust him at all. The old farts in politics just can't move over and support the new blood can they? This whole "praise the females so much it doesn't even make sense" is getting sickening. From a married, church-going, working, mother of 3 children, and a democrat, stop the nicey talk and try to win dang it, I'm not investing in you to praise the other party and set the people who lost in the primaries on a pedestal!!!

This is the beginning of the move to replace Biden with Hillary. The Dems have finally figured out that Obama cannot win as things currently stand.

Great move by Biden to grease his way on EXIT and set the stage for Hillary to come in , Dont think this hasn't been discuss the sooner you do it the better , I always felt Biden would be better serve as SEC OF STATE he loves to travel .

So Hillary come on down and get into the spotlight again
when you go heads up against Palin , her camp CAN'T USE THE SEXISM CARD.

I agree with you Vince from NC

No Joe! YOU are the BEST! Just watch your mouth – see the headline? Everything you say, can – and will – be twisted by the other side. Hillary was a disaster! And there were already 2 films made to attack her character…

Obama and Biden have to just stick to the issues or else the McCain camp's going to get their wish and this will end up being an election over personalities…

You're smarter than that guys! Don't let it happen!

I love Joe because he's modest. I think Barack made the right pick. At least there's no more drama on the Democratic side. All of the drama is with the GOP, because they have a queen-in-training. LOL.

You see how the GOP is using Clinton's words against Obama? Imagine how worse it would be if she was the VP candidate! Also, she has too much baggage (Bill, etc), and ran the nastiest campaign I have ever seen.

Is it just me or did he just cut the Democratic ticket's throat??!!!!

FYI We knew this months ago!!!

Come December.. ha.. funny.. you guys know I meant come January right?

Obama – President
Biden – Vice President
Hillary – Sec. of State

I'm Sold….

obviously he must have said other things at this appearence.
let's give him the benifit of the doubt.
Obama/Biden '08!

Biden's foot in Obama's mouth. So even Biden thinks Obama did not make the best choice for VP.

Hillary is not the vp , because she and her husband would have never cleared vetting. And that the real reason so move on NOW

Don't be surprised if Biden suddenly has an unknown ailment, goes to the hospital, has to drop out as v.p and Hillary becomes the new v.p. candidate…

Man… the Dem ticket's so refreshingly honest. The Repub ticket has no idea how to do that.

Comeon, McCain… I know you can be too. Or is it too late? Do the honorable thing. Drop the farce campaign. It's gotta be tearing you up inside.

It was a town hall meeting and some Guy in the audience started talking bad about Sen Clinton …. Our Next VP came to her defense…..defending her honor as a close friend, leader and the changes she has contributed. Good for You Sen Biden!!! I have more respect for you.
Obama/Biden '08

Maybe you morons need to see his answer in context to the question. Ignorant americans, what else is knew

Hillary is goig to be Secretary of State for Obama. She will be one of the most important women in the world when that happens.

Smartest thing Biden ever said and the most honest to boot…..
Obama just doesn't get it, he will in Nov when he's looking at the polls and cant admit defeat was his own doing.

Great move by Biden to grease his way on EXIT and set the stage for Hillary to come in , Dont think this hasn't been discuss; The sooner you do it the better ,

I always felt Biden would be better serve as SEC OF STATE he loves to travel .

So Hillary come on down and get into the spotlight again
when you go heads up against Palin , her camp CAN'T USE THE SEXISM CARD.

OH PLEASE….Politics as usual as Obama and Biden try to win back Hillary supporters. This current Egocratic ticket makes me want to puke. McCain/Pain 08/12. Can't wait for Obama to Lose Big Time.

am i the only one whom is wondering is this guy wants to win this election? I understand about praising your colleagues and running a civilized campaign but come on… that was too far and more ammunication for the republican.

Joe knows…Why didn't Obama know that Hillary would have been the best VP pick?…Poor judgement . Sounds like Joe gives a new line for a republican ad. Joe be quiet.

I am wondering if Obama is wishing he had picked Clinton just about now….

None of this talk matters. All that matters is that we Dems get out and vote. To the Dem haters who do not want to vote the ticket because an Africn American is the candidate remember African Americans answer the call every four years to vote for our candidate now it is your turn to put aside these bigoted ideas and help save OUR country from John McCain and the "pitbull:. Please do not let your dislike of our candidate's skin color condemn OUR children and OUR wives to the ideals of Sarah Palin and John McCain.

Republicans have so much hate. That's why the country is in the state it's in. Joe Biden said what he feels. We all love Hillary Clinton and she is just as qualified as anyone else to be President or Vice President. You can't hate on him for that.

CNN, you are truly unbelievable. I listened to that entire speech and the one line you pick up and choose to run is that one. His statement was in response to a supporter who tried to bad-mouth Sen. Clinton. Sen. Biden jumped right in and spoke highly of her and said she was certainly a qualified candidate and given the political climate, she might have been a better pick for Sen. Obama, but he was glad to take on the job!

Why not report on the entire Q&A. He fielded and responded to questions on the FDA, prescription drugs, the Fed, gun control, housing, etc?

CNN, you have become truly disappointing! You're reporting is no better than that of the National Inquirer!

Yeah, well, Clinton is also truly dividing. Nothing would rally the right-wing base like her on a ticket.

And as far as I am concerned what matters is who will be the better choice to govern – to actually be in the position (this includes what will make up the better team of working together), than who will win one the position as President. I happen to believe Biden is the far better (brilliant) choice to match with Obama than Clinton would have been.

Well,hello?Did he choose Biden because he thought he is more qualified than Hillary or was it his normal and inherent belittling of women?If Biden could be man enough to own up that he is not that qualified to be the VP why can't Obama own up too that he is not qualified to be the leader of the free world?

I feel we are very lucky to have Joe as our VP. Let me ask everyone…If a VP had to step in as president, who would we want? Joe is right on target with foreign policy. He's not afraid to answer questions on his own and has appeared on news casts. He was great on meet the press this weekend. I was very impressed. On the other hand, those of you who think Palin is such a great choice, then why isn't she out doing her own campaining. I know she's been invited to speak to the media, but she not ready…..She's not ready because she hasn't had time to memorize her answers. McCain has her repeating the same thing everyday like she's some one hit wonder. I'm terrified to think she could be president.

Anonymous September 10th, 2008 5:09 pm ET……………

You are as bad as McCain and Palin………STOP telling lies on each of these blogs just to get paid for blogging………how many MORE stories will you state on here to fool voters?

Oooh, Biden defending Clinton and speaking highly of her.

This is HUGE.

Not.

Hillary would have been a better VP choice BUT a person in the audience started ragging on Clinton? Seriously why are these people Democrats? Bashing Clinton has caused nothing but problems for the Dems. These divisions are why we are probably going to lose.

Sherry, Atlanta-Then he should not be asking her to go out and fight his fight let him fight his own fight since she was so offensive. uggh!!

I second Biden's motion and as a registered Democratic I'm voting Republican for the first time in my life. O'Bama demostrated poor judgement and he let his own pride & ego get in the way of making a smart decision.

Let Hillary get on the ticket for president and Obama be the VP (intern president) before Obama finally takes over, in due time. Democrats for 16 yrs….

everybody is talking about hillary. ted kennedy made a statement that hillary did't deserved to be VP. joe biden realized that hillary should have been picked for VP. Houston Texas

Hillary made it clear that she wasn't interested in vp. She said that she
loved working in the Senate.

It would definitely have been better if Clinton were the nominee…the presidential nominee.

Well i guess Im one of those BITTER Hillary Clinton supporter, it is so funny that now they are hurting in the polls the DEMS now are realizing they need Hillary Clinton. I hope the Democrats get what they deserve this year. HEY, they made their beds now they can wallow in it.

Obviously, none of you actually watched or heard his comments. He was just going out of his way to show this individual that Hillary is a great politician and she should not have people hating on her. If the Republicans spin this, it will be an all time low for them.

Hillary Clinton was so far the best to be a President no a VP. Sorry Obama and Biden but you guys are so………..? This year I will vote for the Republicans. McCain 2008!!!.

Biden, would you shut your big mouth please! Your only problem is that you have a big mouth that a truck can drive through.

Idiot rightist drones. He said Hillary would have been a fine pick. Nothing more, nothing less.

If Palin is as much thought and careful thinking that McCain places in considering the individual who will take his place if / when something happens, imagine the kind of careless thinking he'll place on the cabinet positions that REALLY matter to every day people.

- Secretary of Commerce
- Secretary of Defense
- Secretary of Labor
- SECRETARY OF EDUCATION
- Secretary of Energy

Do I need to remind anyone of the fiasco appointing Mike Brown the head of FEMA? I'm a Republican and a veteran and the prospect of McCain and DEFINITELY Palin absolutely makes me fear for my family and my country.

Come December, if those two clowns are in the White House, you had best pray the Democrats maintain control of congress. Otherwise this country will fall to pieces.

Hmmmmm maybe this was the deal…..Keep the press in the dark to prevent vetting issues and switch Joe for Hillary with a couple weeks left in the election….Joe would totally do it too! He is such a great team player!

It's alway's too little too late!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who watched his speech would be perfectly clear that he was stopping an audience member who was trying to dis Senator Clinton. Had he not done that, people would be criticizing him. It was a genuine, warm, and courteous response. People who are claiming it was a gaffe are being ridiculous.

Wow things must be really bad at ObaMe headquarters.

I actually saw the speech unlike many of the Palin-crazy people here.
Is WAS graceful, It was in response to a very aggressive attack on HRC. He was preventing the creationalists fom saying he agreed that HRC was a 'crook'.

Anyways… please go to factcheck.org and see for your self what McCrap/palin are about: LIES!!

Hillary probably would have been a good VP. I believe only one thing kept her from being chosen- her husband.

I think Hillary would have been a better pick for president than Obama. I think many democrats were left wondering why they had not voted for her after hearing her speech at the convention.

Two unqualified individuals on the dem ticket….Biden and Osama Obama.

What an honest man, what a great and gracious thing to say.

Makes me believe that Obama realy did make the right choice.

People only feel Hillary is more qualified because they have seen her walking around on the evening news for so long, not because she has so much foreign policy experience. These men were only Governors and all became President, where is their inquisition? James Monroe, John Tyler, Martin Van Buren, James Polk, Andrew Johnson, Rutherford Hayes, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush

It's liberal SEXISM

Since I have been trying all morning and not had a single pose ACCEPTED – I'm giving it another try here. And credit it to another blogger. So — even though not related to this particular subject here goes. ONE MORE TRY!

Comment: Here is something to think about from a historical perspective:

If you had to choose between a presidential candidate with 20 years of experience in Congress or one with 6 years in the Illinois state senate and 2 years in Congress, who would you pick?
If you picked the first one, congratulations you just picked James Buchanan who is considered by historians as the second worst president in US history. Most historians agree that Abraham Lincoln, who only served 6 years in the state senate and 2 years in Congress, to be the best president in history, particularly during a difficult time. What does this all mean; too much emphasis should not be placed on experience.

Here is another tidbit of information. So, maybe they have or don't have a lot experience. So what about executive experience? Well, here is a list of presidents who had no prior executive experience prior to taking the oath of office:
James Madison, John Q. Adams, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy. As you can see, this list contains some of the best presidents in US history.

Therefore, too much emphasis should not be placed on previous experience and/or executive experience. So, then you might wonder how do you pick between two candidates. That question is obviously difficult to answer. Some may look at the ideology of the candidate or other factors that don't directly relate to being an executive. Just something to think about. Remember the old saying, those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

Wake up America. Vote on the issues, vote for our country, vote for Obama in 2008

I think Joe Biden is a betterr pick for Obama. Anyway, why go back? What's the point? Nothing to discuss, media?

you think?!!

Hilary Clinton IS ready to be President of the United States. But she was not a better choice then Biden to be VP. Maybe if Obama was a psychic and could have forseen the cynical gimmick by McCain to pick Palin to fool women into voting for him…..but who would have thought someone like John McCain could stoop so low? I think Obama gave him too much credit. So if you're talking about what we know now, then of couse Hillary would have been a better pick to win the election. But Sarah Palin would be no where near the GOP ticket if Obama had picked Hillary. Hillary said too many mean things for OBama to just forget about it and pick her. Obama considered the country when he made his VP pick in Biden. McCain thought about himself and Karl Rove when he picked Palin.

The first truthful statement from Obama's VP. At least he can admit this, whereas Obama will NEVER ADMIT he makes ANY mistakes!

Obama's ego is bigger than the entire Democratic Party, and even bigger than the presidential election.

It is all about him, and now he is losing control of everything, and he is even unleashing the ENTIRE DNC.

whatttttttttttt…..I am not able to understand. Can anyone please help what he is saying?

Why is no one talking about her affliation with the AIP….Alaskan Independence Party!!!!!

I heard this woman say and I quote, "Keep up the GOOD WORK"….

THE AIP WANTS TO SEPARATE FROM THE US!!!! THIS IS NOT PUTTING "COUNTRY FIRST"!!!!

I will not vote for either Obama or McCain. I would have voted for Obama if Clinton was his running mate for VP. He made a bad choice and thus you can tell this from Biden.

McCain… no way! We don't need another Bush in office.

I'm not the Hollywood type, but "Thank You" Matt Damon!!! I've been thinking the same thing and wondering why no one else is saying anything!!
Palin is a huge mistake for America!!

Twist and turns, whatever he says will be turned around, she is still a democrat all in the same family, get a life ..

Unlike McCain, Obama chose the better VP instead of the person who will get him the most votes.

Now that's putting country first.

Very nice of you to say such nice things about Hillary Joe, but where were you when the media and Obama supporters were cutting her to pieces? I small something fishy here. Why did you not defend her honor before since you were such good friends. We all know Hillary would have made a great President and a great VP, so since she is neither, I suggest you concentrate on being the VP for the dem. party.

Hillary supporter for McCain/Palin

No Kidding Joe…but it has become clear that your party is not about to pick woman to do man's work. You sexist hypocrites.

omg HILLARY 2012

This is a stupid conversation. The decision not to ask Senator Clinton to run as VP had nothing to do with her qualification. It had EVERYTHING to do with the key question as to what would be President Clinton's role in such a situation. In the primaries, time and time again, it was asked what role President Clinton would have in a Hillary Clinton White House. That issue would have been magnified one hundred fold if she were to be serving as VP.

Just as the cookie monster would be a better pick than Palin

Of course Biden is going to say that. She is Bidens friend, he can't help but to compliment her on her skills. This does not mean however that Biden is not the perfect pick.

BIDEN, is the perfect pick!!

Obama/Biden 2008!

Wow…just wow. The train is coming off of the track, folks…

Picking Hillary was going to be a pure political move…..biden was for experience… 2 of them would run the white house very well…hillary…. well guess what..obama won't even talk to hillary for 4 years…

Well at least Biden is allowed to talk unlike the bigot Palin

she would been excellent, but showed to much bitterness after trailing

Let's see, the donkey's VP-selectee is questioning the judgement of the donkey's Presidential-selectee. Sen. Joe was right those many months ago when he said that Sen. Barack is not qualified to be president. Certainly the elephants may use his comments, but 99+% of thinking Americans should not need the elephants to point out this observation.

… how many feet can sen. biden put in his mouth?…… why say this at this time? he pretty much is saying that he was the wrong choice and in the first test of presidential judgement, sen. obama showed poor judgement by choosing the second best choice. maybe sen. obama needs to muzzle joe biden from now till election day, much in the same way some say bill clinton muzzled hillary clinton during his first run at the white house. does anyone know of any pills that can help foot-in-mouth desease????

he really doesn't know when to put a period. He was fine until he said she was a better pick.

That was probably the wrong thing to say…

Of course she would have!

This is just Biden being his honest self. The point is, regardless of who Obama had chosen, would have been a much better quality ticket than what the republican's have. Obama/Biden or Obama/Clinton. Palin like Matt Damon has so eloquently stated is dangerous. Her right wing views will set this country back 30 years. Her religious stances that help her make those radical decisions will set the womens rights and civil rights movement back 30 years. Keep this in mind pumas, voting for mccain/palin will result in your civil rights being expunged. She will influence McCain into placing very religious, very radical judges to the bench. Consider Roe V. Wade history. Consider torture as a part of the normal American mainstream. Consider that everything this country has worked hard for in the last 30 years to be completed wasted. This ticket will destroy all that had work. Is that what you really want?

Hillary is a pig with lipstick

Has a VP ever withdrawn his or her name from the ticket after accepting the nomination?

O H,,,,,,,,,,,P O O P I E,,,,,,,,,,,Y OU' R E,,,,,,,,,M AK I N G,,,,,,M E,,,,,,,C R Y

The truth is very simple. The Republican Party is as fraudulent as any part can ever become. It will be a dark day November 5th. If they are back in power.

American then will be lower than a so-called third world nation AND have zero credibility in the world of nations.

Secondly, it would be very sweet IF all blue States keep their tax dollars and let those crazy red States suffer.

That my friend is painting lipstick on pigs!

See, the post VP pick campaigning says it all about which parties VP pick is ready to pick up the reigns should something happen to our next President. Palin can't even go somewhere by herself and campaign, talk to reporters, or address questions from her supporters. Biden can do ALL OF THAT. So if anything, God forbid, were to happen to Obama, at least we would know that his #2 is capable of handling himself in the political ring as well as around the world. Clinton could have done the same. Palin can't even answer questions from the press! She gives that same old stump speech everywhere she goes and then runs into the waiting caravan, terrified of answering any questions. What a joke.

I don't understand why people are saying this is good for the Republicans. I really don't… She would have made a good VP, so would a lot of other Senators and Governors. Joe is a fine VP, I'm not sure I understand the story here. Unless they're just trying to turn a nonstory into an issue… which would not surprise me because that is what their entire campaign consists of.

As a Pig I am also ashamed of being compared to Sarah No Plan Palin. I know Obama didn't say that directly, but I am still offended. I feel like crying about it, but maybe not quite as hard as John McBush did. I thought he was supposed to be a war hero! Stop crying already John, the comment is insulting to us pigs not you!

If McCain didn't want Palin to have to answer for her record, personal vindictive behavior, and her total void of qualifications to be VP (or God forbid President) then McCain shouldn't have selected her!!!

His bad choice is his own fault because he DIDN"T LISTEN to his advisors! He put himself (I'll do anything to win) ahead of picking a qualified running mate and has put America at risk if this unqualified person has to step in.

Now they are stuck with a person they don't dare let out on her own to talk to the press, or to voters!

All Palin has proved so far is that she can read a speech and insults that have been carefully written for her! Imagine if she ever has to talk to a world leader one-on-one! If McCain is gone, who will be writing her material??? Who would be running the country?????

And we have also found out that she is very comfortable LYING!

America, if Palin really wants to be honest with you, she should say:

"I'm Sarah Palin, and I "Pale-in" comparison to Obama, I "Pale-in" comparison to Biden, and I "Pale-in" comparison to the many Republicans who were more qualified than me to be on this ticket! I'm sorry, and I'm going home now!"

Biden is right. Not asking Hillary to be his VP showed seriously poor judgment on Obama's part. I knew that from the git-go, that he had probably cost himself the election with his choice of Biden.

Just think how much more bad judgment Obama can exercise if he actually becomes president!

NO WAY….NO HOW……NOBAMA!

Saying she's qualified is not the same as saying she should BE vice president. How about stories about policy instead of just idiotic GOP talking points?

Yes she's qualified. Obama, Biden, and Clinton are all vastly more qualified than their GOP counterparts.

He does not do Humble well. I am sure the Obama's camp eyes rolled a bit in their heads.

just one more thing…yea, the Clinton's are the bomb…

…on the flip side of that…they're just some more rich folk I don't know.

They should have picked Hillary for President……

Obama just plagerized his entire lipstick/fish speech out of the
washington post article made on Sept 5th, and he then gave it
Sept 9th in Virginia…. what a joke…. cant even think of his own material. (WORD FOR WORD COPIED) She (Hilary) could and would have won it.

McCain/Palin 08′

She is a site better choice than McCain's pick! I know we would be in good hands with Hilary… now I put my trust in Obama and I trust his choice! – the Republicans look out for the very rich and us little guys are left to fend for ourselves… and it's getting darn near impossible! I am so tired of hearing how the Democrats or picking on Palin…. from what I see, McCain and Palin are chained at the hip! He doesn't do anything without her…. and they wonder why all the talk – we never heard of her before McCain picked her and honestly – who's running – Palin or McCain…. You see more of her than McCain… geesh!

sen biden you are our vp please stick to the issues. one praise is enough stop talking so much about freinships. do what you do issues that are going to make a change and difference in our lives.

A little late, isn't it?

Just another show of the party unity in the Democratic Party. Senator Biden's humbleness is something to be admired!

Obama/Biden '08, or our country will be in ruin!!

That's awesome…glad we have a veep candidate who is excited to step up to the plate—wuss. nothing unites a party more than doubting whether you should have even been chosen. What a great president he would make. LOL. Palin might not have a lot of experience, but she is definitely the lesser of two evils.

CNN-

Did Biden say anything about the issues? Good job cherry picking ONE thing he said….so useful to the rest of the country!!

for the 1st time in my life i'm proud of Biden

Even his own vice-president pick just admitted that Obama shows poor judgement.

Good grief.

Joe, I'm not voting for you guys, and I'm a democrat and a HRC supporter, but that was really stupid to say.

Geez…

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I am disturbed.. Why did he do that?

YIKES SAYS BIDEN! THE "BRILLIANT" MOVE BY OBAMA IS NOT WORKING…YIKES! BOY WERE WE STUPID…YIKES!!! NOW WE CANNOT TURN BACK BECAUSE WE'LL LOOK EVEN WEAKER AND EVEN MORE STUPID!!!! YIKES!

If she could just chew skoal and shoot a rifle at the same time,she could have garnered more yokel votes.

It will be interesting to see which whine the Obama fans use once he loses:

"It was Hillary's fault all along – no matter what." or
"Hillary would have been a better choice"

This illustrates the division in the DNC. Of course Obama said there is no division. Liar.

For the sake of the Presidency, Joe Biden should withdraw his vp
appointment and Obama should select Hillary. We need to do whatever it takes to ensure the GOP is not voted into the
Whitehouse. We need to ensure Hillary's 18 million supporters
stay with/behind Obama.

Thanks for leaving out the context of what he said Alex. He was responding to a man that had derided Hillary Clinton as being a crooked politician. This is the media tabloid spin we're now accustomed to seeing from you Republican Agenda driven commentators.

GOOD BIDEN – Put something out there for the REPUBS to make another NASTY ad!!! I can hear them now – "Even Obama's VP pick says he's not qualified to be VP!!!""

BUT – that would be toooooo obvious, wouldn't it????!!!!! The REPUBS are waking up a "SLEEPING GIANT" and it's going to be GOOD!!!

OBADEN 2008-2016, YES WE CAN!!!

Any Hillary supporter who supports McCain doesn't understand what Clinton supports and are fools. Period. Go get drunk and get somebody pregnant if you wish to support Palin. But that's not what Hillary Clinton is about.

And all you Hillary supporters who are voting for Hockey Mom are the "pigs" LMAO. Losers.

Biden's character and credentials precede him and while his humility is to be applauded, he was the best and only real choice considering the climate of this election.

Too late, Joe.

And probably good thing Chelsea is not a special needs kid.

Probably would have berated her too.

I watched his Town Hall meeting at CNN.Com. A person in the audience started ragging on Sen Clinton and Biden came to her Defense. Nothing wrong with what he said, the context in which it was said and I appreciate him not just standing by and allowing someone to degrade her in his Presence.
Obama/Biden 08

What flippin world do I Live in. I am starting to think that Obama should just start his own party because the democrats are just as stupid as the republicans. Or maybe this is the tact. Maybe neither dems or repubs want Barack in office because they know he will really change things in washington. Why the hell would you give them these lines for the fodder Biden… or maybe its the smartest move in the world draw them out. If they talk about why Obama chose biden over Hillary then that would give Obama an opening to talk about how McCain caved into the right and choose to go with someone that might win him the election rather than someone that could actually govern….

Biden was the perfect pick. Clinton would have just upped all the drama and we definitely don't need more of that. Plus, it's nice to be on the scandal-free side of this debate.

Go Joe!! Go Obama!! Yes you guys can!!

Oh geez.
He meant what he said. They are both qualified.
The better pick was Biden for his actual foreign policy experience and the fact that Obama needed someone by his side that he could work with and trust. Good grief.

How about some real news?

Actually, this is pretty brilliant. Of course the Repugs will do nothing other than release a bunch of attack ads taking his statements out of context (see Katie Couric's statements about HRC being used by the Repugs). Obama will keep hitting McCain on the issues but they will be too occupied with this to realize that what they are doing will be labelled as "politics as usual" .

Put it this way, Hillary isn't running in 2012 if Old Man/Hockey Mom win (which they won't) She is too far in debt and I honestly don't think she has it in her to go another 12 plus months of campaigning.

I've always liked Biden and always liked Hillary, but Obama went with somebody with experience and can campaign without having his hand held. He also speaks the truth, and is probably overqualified, unlike Hockey Mom.

Joe Biden is honest and honorable and unsurprisingly he and Hillary Clinton support the same candidate.

No George McSame No Sarah No Plan Palin

Run on issues, don't hide behind lipstick because you got shot down in Vietnam.

This is from a war veteran John- I have seen many friends die because of your policies. Thanks but no thanks!

drew, you misunderstand….
I greatly ADMIRE joe for his straight talk and he has my Vote. He is not afraid to say what he thinks and does NOT have to rely on a stupid script like Barbie Palin does. Joe is the man—guts, honesty and integrity. He and Obama are BRAVE to speak their minds, especially around the stupidest media we have ever seen in the US.

OMG not even the debates yet and the biggest GAFFE Biden makes. Hey Joe your suppose to be selling not making yourself look like losers are us. I thought sending the 30 attorneys to Alaska from the Obama campaign was a joke but this tops the big one. Hillary should have been on top of this ticket from the get go people.

I am a disabled American who needs gov help and the help of others. I am near the poverty line. I STILL have more in common with the GOP and its ideals.

I joined the GOP this year not because I am a fool but because I see foolishness on the Democratic side over and over again.

I am an example of those that the Dems say they will help but I fear they will mess up the economy with so much spending there will be little left for myself and others that depend on the it.

I see the Dems talk about helping others but all I see is talk.

When I see the Democratic party of today I see a bunch of self serving snobs.

The GOP is not perfect but nothing is and I can live with ‘its’ imperfection far more than the Democratic Parties failings.

I don’t want to rely on the help of others but I know the kindness of the GOP is real yet that of the other side is all talk.

I see a difference between helping others that need the help as opposed to throwing and giving money to those that do not.

(I am more of a libertairan but vote and am a member of the GOP)

Is "first rate" better than "clear and articulate"?

That's Joe, I'm guessing those 18 million cracks in the ceiling are thinking the same thing!

Love to see the Dems bursting at the seams over Palin as VP!

McCain/Palin '08!!!!

Appease all the tyrants in the world…

We don't want trouble? Just let them all
have what the want…ok? I just want to
live for myself…it's narristic…I know…
but I only care about me!

humble, defined…

…now lets put some heat on it.

The reasoning behind the statements are obvious! Biden will be asked to step down for the good of the party and Obama will get Hilary on the ticket.

With Obama and the democrats it's all about winning and they will sink Joe Biden and put Hilary in.

Chicago thug politics at it's best ladies and gentlemen…

Obama/Biden 08

Oh my God !!!!!! LOLLLLLLL

Give me a break. I knew this was coming. Watch Obama try to get rid of Biden and try to get Hillary on the ticket. Guess what, too late to do that now. Obama blew it the first time. As president, sometimes you don't get to second guess yourself because its a matter of the country's security.

weakness is what you want in a person that may be a heartbeat from being the leader of the free world

and here comes the spin of this . I can see it already!!!!
but I still love ya obama/biden 2008 YES WE CAN and WE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

B A N K R U P T ———D N C

what is going on..this is funny… is he planning to drop out… that would be something…look i don't care… i just want obama to win… even with hillary…im not taking any chances with palin!

That is much more graceful than I have heard a politician be in quite some time. I am sure it will be spun every which-a-way but it is admirable.

Wow, they really are falling apart…

Well, let the games begin!

Joe – you could always give up your nomination to Clinton. I'd support Obama if Clinton was on the ticket, but until then, I have to vote McCain / Palin.

This shows some humility on Mr. Biden's part. Anyway since the whole matter is now a fait accompli, it is time to move on. I believe Hillary will get a high level position if the Democrats win.

Well, Joe, why don't you step down as VP, then Hillary can take your place? You can say you just don't feel up to the job.

I would rather have seen Clinton as Barack's pick as well (though I picked Obama as the Dem's nom over Clinton)… but it's stuff like this that makes me respect Biden that much more. He's actually honest. Someone asked a question, and he flat out answers it. It might not be the best "talking-point" answer, but it sure is the truth. That is something we are sorely lacking in today's politics.

You are correct sir…. she would have. But that ship has sailed.

Okay Biden, I support Obama…and you. Get some backbone and stop with fluffing everyone else up. You are the VP choice and that's that! Stand up like a man and take your rightful place. Stop being wimpy toward Palin. Be the attack dog, chew her up and spit out the seeds. Never again say Hillary was a better choice. THis comment totally undermines Obama's choice and says that you don't agree with him. Be careful, be extremly careful.

Well Joe got something write.

Barack wouldn't be having these poll issues had he picked Hillary. Biden didn't bring any significant number of voters to the ticket. It turns out he did need those 18 million Hillary supporters.

Rudy told him he should have gotten that VP thing in writing.

This is it folks! Biden will drop out and they will put Hilary on the ticket!

Obama is a pig! I hope Hilary says "NO!!"

That might be true, but lets make it clear that Sarah Palin is not qualified for either job.

Her inexperience cannot be compared to Obama, he graduated Harvard Law, magna cum laude and taught constitiutional law. She went to Iowa for a BA in journalism!

Come on! NO PRESIDENT PALIN

Oh Boy, I know he's just trying to be modest & conciliatory etc… but the republicans are going to have a field day with this one!

Mrs. Clinton has many gifts, but I am very glad Joe Biden is running with Obama, win or lose. They will make a terrific team if America makes the right choice in November. Bless them both, and Mrs. Clinton, too.

You can say that again, Joe.

Oh here we go again! I am a woman and love Hillary, Biden, and Obama. No more GOP!!!

Ouch!! I agree with you Joe, but you just blew it for the Dems with that comment. Welcome to the White House Senator McCain and Governor Palin.

Yea, we can finally stop kissing up to the pumas of this country. We will win without them.

Palin 2012

HILLARY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE VP. . .HAD SHE NOT TAKEN HER CAMPAIGN INTO THE GUTTER.

THAT WARRANT, OBAMA NOT TO TRUST HER. . .CAN'T BLAME HIM FOR THAT!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

I told you so!!!!

vote McCain/Palin 2008

Hilary Clinton for US President 2012!!!

Good for you Joe. Give the Republicans something to put in their next tv ad. "Biden endorses Clinton for VP!"

Ya know the republican operatives are gonna jump on this one.

Either Joe or Hillary would have made good as VP. Of course, there are those who feel differently.
Their hate filled, divisive unfounded comments are coming at ya in 3….2…1

I don’t understand his reasoning behind the statements.

OMG, I knew at some point this dweeb would put his big foot in his mouth. I'm ashamed to call him a fellow SU alum

WELL I GUESS SOMEBODY HAS TO DELIVER THE NEWS… YES… THIS IS A DARK DAY FOR PIGS IN AMERICA…
PIGS TODAY ALL OVER AMERICA ARE OFFENDED TO THE RECENT POLITICAL COMPARISONS. THEY ARE DEMANDING AN APOLOGY FROM FOX NEWS, CNN & MSNBC…

PIGS HAVE NOT BEEN SO OFFENDED TO SUCH A COMPARISON IN RECENT HISTORY… NORTH AMERICAN PIGS ARE BANNING TOGETHER WITH THE CANADIAN BACON UNION AND ORGANIZING AN INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TO THIS INSULT TO PIGS ALL OVER THE WORLD & PARTICULARLY THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT…

BEING COMPARED TO REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS IS JUST SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS AND WILL SIMPLY NOT BE TOLERATED…

Two scenarios:
1. Mccain and Painful are riding town to town as talking heads reading scripts to dumb crowds. They say the same robotic stale stuff at each stop. EVERY DAY Their campaigns spend the day snipiing at ridiculous trivia and pulling Mc's and Pal's strings like puppets.

2. Obama and Biden are out in the trenches, speaking about real issues and putting themselves on the frontline each day, raising important questions and giving honest and real answers that have hope and solutions to our woes. They run their own staff, not the other way around.

All of us are not shallow…..just the ones who continue to worship the talking head robots of Mccain and palin. Hey, just stay home and save gas….they can email you the speech they read EVERYDAY to the crowds. Joe is an honest man, and we admire it.

NO DUH!!!! I'm glad to see Joe Biden's hair plugs haven't totally sapped what little sense that man still has.

If you go to factcheck, they actually debunk the McCain ad that references them! Check it out!
