OK folks, I actually worked for Joe Biden (83-90). I supported his presidential campaign and froze my butt off in Iowa last January for him. I don't expect anyone to believe this but I am going to say it anyway. Joe Biden is the real deal. Warts and all you won't find a better person to talk to about anything.
I remember one time he asked me to meet him at the Wilmington train station. He asked me to bring my bagpipes with me. Next thing I know, the train pulls into the station while I am playing. He gets one of the conductors off of the train and has me serenade him. Then he took this conductor to breakfast. Joe had learned that the conductor was retiring that very day. He made all the arrangements with the Amtrak people. No one on his staff knew anything about this.
You should have seen the face of that soon to be retiree. Joe made him feel so special, so important. To me, that says more about the man than any pundit. He is a good person and will make an excellent vice president. If some of you want to piss on this story, so be it. The more Joe is out there, the more people will see what I have known for over 25 years.
Obama/Biden!!!!!!!!!

Hey Dave, Illinois:

Dare you google songbird McCain!! McCain's son resign from the board of a bank that he ran to ground citing "family reason." Like father, like son. McWhine will run this country to the ground.

Joe Biden's children have nothing to do with the campaign. However, unlike the other VP who is throwing her kids in our faces at every turn. This man have a heart for people and he complements Obama well. They will do well in the white house.

i like joe

To Beth,

Which part of Biden is honest? The part where he said Obama wasn't ready to be President?

Or the part where he got on board once it suited his own needs?

And by the way, Mark-NY, it's YOU'RE. Not your. As in, "YOU'RE THE IDIOT."

As an independent, I supported Senator Biden as a presidential nominee. It's too bad that the American people do not see where he comes from. He is a great person, an intellect, a loyal friend, and a wonderful public servant. I hope he will have an opportunity to tune up this crippled country.

the new line for the dems should be vote BO AND JOE- ENOUGH IS ENOUGHN!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Think twice Palin want to attack Russia and Pakistan and give Georgia UN memberships. That was third world war just start by the republicans.
I am a Democrat and I am voting for McCain. Oh no! Why are you betraying Barack? You know why! Because John McCain had invented the Black Barry. I love my blackberry. McCain know Washington for 30 years, Barack is new to Washington. McCain is smart and does not understand the economy and I am thrill to vote for McCain. McCain is rich and Barack is not. McCain has many houses and Barack does not. If I Americans get evicted from their homes they can get a room each from McCain. McCain is the real deal that will shake up Washington and himself because he is an insider. Sarah Palin is a foreign policy expert because she can see Russia from Alaska Joe Biden cannot see Russia from Delaware. This is why I am not voting for McCain.

vPerry " I am scared that Obama is a fascist" You have got to be kidding me. Do you even know the meaning of fascism? Furthermore, if you want to talk about records, Nightingale, then why don't we take a little look see at Palin's political record shall we. Mayor of a small city in Alaska, and then governor of Alaska for less than 2 years. Oh and don't even get me started on her " well I had real responsibilities, and I made a budget", because lets face it her budgeting skills couldn't have been that great. When she became the mayor of Wasilla they had a surplus, when she left they had something like $20 million in long term debt. If that is any indication of her "fiscal" responsibility then say sayonara to any hope of budget reform in Washington, or for that matter any hope for social security, and the economy in general.

Hey Hillary Supporters for McCain~Are you STILL BITTER?? My goodness, when do you get over it? Never?? I certainly don't know why you all believe you're hurting Obama more than yourselves by voting for McCain. Regardless of the outcome Obama & McCain will be just fine. Hell, Hillary is doing just peachy. Can you say the same with a failing economy? McCain certainly CAN'T help the pocketbook issue; he's simply not smart enough.

Ernie, does it matter Biden didn't run a strong primary campaign? It probably means people don't realize whats best for them.

Take for example the GOP suppporters, they know they don't have any answers but continue to blame everyone else for their shortcomings. Ernie, you wouldn't happen to know any GOP supporters like that would you?

Ernie, if you think Biden isn't ready to be VP after 36 years in the Senate, why would you think Palin could be VP after not quite 2 years as a Governor?

This is an honest, good American who does not live the rich life like the majority of them. Even after all these years, his wife still works just like we do. Gee, does the "first dude" still work…not any more, but he does enter snowmobile contests LOL!

Go Biden, a down to earth, regular guy!

What a bunch of crap. As Vice Pres he will not be commuting in a train……so what is the point?

Senator Obama couldn't have chosen a better VP than Senator Biden.
He is a real family man with REAL FAMILY VALUES and has a genuine
connection with everyday people.
These constant smears and out and out lies from McPalin camp are starting to be seen for what they truly are!!!
We need two decent, respectable, honest men in the White House that will work hard for the American people and get this country back on the right track and restore it's place on the world stage.
Roll on Nov and lets put Senator Obama and Senator Biden where they belong in the White House.

So Joe, you would have been there at the hearing if you "weren't doing this"?? I suppose Obama would also have taken an actual stand…… if he hadn't voted "present" all those times!!

This is your regular Joe!!!
I can't wait for a change in Washington. America will be better for it… Ready to cast my vote and this is from a former Republican. There are many more like me who will be turning in their cards after these eight years and going for a REAL CHANGE!!!

Go Obama/Biden '08

say hello to our 48 vice president of the united state

DO YOU THINK ANYBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO YOU NOW

What a breath of fresh air it will be with Barack and Joe in office. Do Republicans ever tell the truth? I think not. Have they ever not cut budget with regard to education, health care or the environment. Being a "maverick" when it comes to the environment is not ideal. I prefer the Democrats' conservation and caution as opposed to charging ahead maverick style with nuclear energy, more oil drilling, more tax breaks for big business. Hey, let's give them tax breaks for being green, for conserving energy, for not polluting the air , for putting people to work and paying them a fair wage– now, that's a novel idea.

Go Joe — you'll be the best VP yet, Obama will be a great leader, and together with all of us who really care, we will make the changes to make America proud again!!!!

American wants to know, what is the plan that McCain and Palin proposes to get our country on tract.

Please, try to tell the Truth with what you propose. Palin has hooked up with McCain which will have very long lasting negative effect on her.

Mr. Biden could not even carry his own state. He had to go with Obama to get anywhere and now he is ready to be VP?

Joe Biden is the opposite of Sarah Palin. The more you get to know Joe, the more you like him. It's the other way around with Sarah Palin.

After all of the dust is settled, only one of the candidates will run this country. If you are happy with the status quo, vote Republican, if not, vote Democratic. This is not rocket science.

im just gonna sit back and relax and watch Obama and Biden win.

Joe, he's really a great guy.

i thought I read somewhere that Biden said Obama was not ready to lead.

I think he is right there. Obama has as thin as resume as I've seen.

Do you think you would let him operate on your heart if he were a heart surgeon?

I don't thinks so. Obama is a roll of the dice.. Think risky.

I'm scared Obama is from Mars.

obama /biden all teh way ,,oh yea,, we can do it,, woohoo ,,, we can do it,, woohoo,,

I like that he travels home every night using the train! He does not use a private plane nor a limo! Imagine what they'd cost.
He has made his tax records public – Where are Palin's?

Well, at least one of the VP candidates isn't hiding from the press.

Not everyone can fly around in the family jet…go Biden!

How honorable. I miss that in a statesman.

Joe Biden was who I initially supported for president. I am thrilled that he is on the ticket.

Imagine a VP who smiles!! GO Joe!

Obama 08

I must congratulate Biden's son on no longer being a lobbyist. It takes pure dedication to change your life like that for a good cause.

Way to go, Joe! Can you imagine Primadonna Palin being that accessible and relaxed with reporters and regular folks? She just keeps hiding behind curtains on her plane, and avoiding any unscripted contact with anybody. How elitist.

Good evening,

The Obama/Ticket is the winning ticket!
Millions knows it and millions will show it on November 4!

Love your campaign Mr. Biden! Keep on the attacks!

When are the american people going to wake up and see that Mccain is really out of touch. We need leadership from these two great men that we have in Barak Obama and Joe Biden. John Mccain has been called out on just about every lie that he said in the last week alone. And not to mention that he dont know anything about the economy. Im willing to bet my life on it…. if Barak Obama wasn't a black man John Mcshame wouldn't find a supporter in the world!!!!

BARAK OBAMA/ JOE BIDEN ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITEHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe is the kind of politician who demonstrates REAL family values,

I LOVE BIDEN! I HOPE OBAMA DOES WELL AT THE FUNDRAISER TONIGHT, HOPE IT'S A SALEOUT!!!!!!!! JUDGING FROM MCSHAME'S COMMENT ABOUT IT HE SEEMS A BIT JEALOUS THAT OBAMA MAY JUST RAISE MORE THAN HE OR GEORGWEENIA PALIN DID THE OTHER DAY!

GO OBAMA & BIDEN

YES WE CAN!!
YES WE CAN!!!

CHANGE I BELIEVE!!
CHANGE WE NEED!!!

OBAMA, HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!!!!

FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!
ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!
HOP ABOARD THE OBAMA / BIDEN TRAIN!!!!

I sat in the seat directly in front of him on the Acela in June–the day Ted Kennedy had his brain surgery–and he was talking about how "Teddy did really well," and it was just really sweet. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. Now of course, I wish I had said hello!

Loves it Obama/Biden 2008!! They only reason people are voting for McShame is because they want to hate Obama for no reason. Its crazy. They would rather deal with an unqualified president than a strong qualified president. Some of you people are sorry excuses for Americans. I bet your ignorance is what got us 8 years of hell!

Obama/Biden 2008!!

Like HRC said: NO WAY!! NO HOW!! NO MCCAIN/PALIN!!!

Nothing hollow about this guy.

I like how everyone focuses on the fact that Biden has one son who works as a lobbyist. Pay no attention to the other son, though, serving in Iraq! It might humanize the Democratic party!

Joe B is giving all of us a great example to follow by using PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION – Personal responsibility is needed foremost of all to address the energy crisis.

@ just a guy

Don't worry. Vperrry's ignorance helps us show why it's so important to take the country back. He doesn't realize that fascism is really steeped in blind nationalistic fervor of the kind the Republicans are selling, not the kind of truthful objective criticism of where we're at that Obama is talking about.

How can anyone, after hearing Joe Biden's life story, not admire and respect him. His love and concern for his children started that commute a long time ago. His service in the senate has served this country well.

Speaking of commuting! How about Palin's "Per Diemgate". She charged the state of Alaska for spending approx. 311 nights in her own home! Don't they have a Governor's Mansion???? Isn't per diem considered travel on state business?????

To the Hillary supporter voting for McPalin ticket, you id not listen to any of Hillary's speeches when she was running for president – what she stands for, what she believes in. If you loved Hillary than you have to loathe the McPalin ticket now. I have known Hillary since the day she moved to Little Rock many years ago. They share nothing in common except their gender. So if you are looking for a skirt, you have opted for the "empty one"

Yeah, he is just like us……what a joke, slapping guys on the back just for the press, "Look at me, I'm Mr. Lunchbucket, I'm from Scranton!"….He is an insider through and through, hasn't worked a real a job since 1972…While I have lots of respect for Joe Biden he is what he is…an elitist Senator that belongs in the Congress not in the Executive branch…unfortunately the same can be said for Obama and McCain… I want a commander in chief not a pretender in chief!!

REPUBLICANS CHEATING AGAIN:

The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee have filed a lawsuit in federal court in Michigan over the Michigan GOP's plan to use foreclosure lists to challenge voters at the polls, as first reported by the Michigan Messenger.

Bob Bauer, general counsel for the Obama campaign, and Mark Brewer, chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party, announced the lawsuit in a conference call with reporters this afternoon. It was filed on behalf of the campaign, the party and three Michigan residents who have had their houses foreclosed upon in recent months.

Bauer called the GOP plan to use foreclosure lists "a new and especially repellent version of caging." Caging is a technique of challenging voters where they take lists of addresses, mail to them with a "do not forward" marking and if for whatever reason those mailings are returned, they use this as a basis for claiming that the voter no longer lives at the address at which they are registered.

From the comments made, it is easy to see who should be elected to lead our country. If all of these people would take the time to look at the issues, it would be as clear as it could be. Obalma & Biden for the good of our country. Please leave the silliness out.

Why does Biden use a train while his messiah has a private jet?

PUMAs,

Go home and take your witch Hillary with you. McCain does not need you anymore to win this election.

Palin 2012

@ RealityKing "How much has this commute cost the taxpayer? For the last 36 years if I must ask??"

I'm pretty sure it's much less than what some senators, like McCain, pay for homes in DC. Think about it.

All of you railing against lobbyists do realize that political lobbyists aren't ALL big business right?!?! There are quite a few who are actually working for YOU, helping YOU get healthcare, clean water, decent roads, food without toxins, decent educations, etc. etc. etc. I have worked in some of these offices and NEVER seen people more dedicated, UNDERPAID, and working such long hours to help people who are so ungrateful, spiteful, whiny and ignorant and who vote for an administration who has caused everyone who isn't the religious right to be audited by the IRS every year for the past 7 years.

The corporate lobbyists, the ones who OWN Cheyney: Haliburton, big oil, coal, guns, etc. have destroyed the system with their bribes and payoffs and you voting against Obama is only making them stronger. .

Kipling used to talk of GRACE, in terms of one who walks with Kings, but still has the common touch Could be talking about Obama or Biden.

What a true regular American gent, never forget where he came from and where he wants to take the country. Yes, Obama/Biden will take the country out of the destress and hard time the repubs are leaving it.

For real change and reform, Obama/Biden 08/12.

Who Cares!!!

The last time McCain set foot in a common, ordinary train was at an amusement park when he was 2 years old.

Leave it to Republicans to make nasty remarks about Biden riding public transportation home at night to see his kids (like millions across the country do).

There's no going back now for you Joe! Things have changed for the better!

OBAMA / BIDEN '08 and BEYOND!

vperry—"I am scared that Obama is a fascist."

And it frightens me that you are allowed to vote.

Haters, keep trying, you can't touch this one. Biden is more like one of us than even Palin. Unless he asks for a tanning bed for the train….or a rifle so he can shoot at squirrels on his commute.

vperry…..i am scared mccain is out of touch, look how he picked his vp running mate.

Notice the GOP supporters don't have anything to say that makes any sense. God forbid their candidates undergo the same attacks. They might have to scream sexism or reverse racialism.

Joe Biden is an honorable man. And he actually is like real people who commute every day, and who value their families, and who live and work with honor. It's sad to see how far others have fallen off he path, while Joe continues to serve his country honorably and with integrity. Way to go, Joe!

I like Joe, I love Hillary, but that ship has sailed…, I am very pleased with Joe. But, has anyone given any thought to the possibility that the 'republican machine' has placed Sarah Palin in the VP slot because they intend to challenge McCain's ability to become president because he was not born in the U.S.

I know that others have been nominated, but no one has ever made it to the point of being challenged. Think about it…, If McCain was elected (the republican base aren't really crazy about him anyway) and the if republican machine challenges it constitutionally, or has someone else do it, that would leave Palin as the president. Roe v Wade would be immediately overturned, the only rights gays would have would be to an attorney while they are being charged for lude and illicit behavior. It will set women't rights back to the dark ages. Has anyone else considered this fact? Unconstitutional I tell you…

My sister in law was born on a military base in Germany, and when she was born, her parents were told, she is a U.S. Citizen, but that "she could never be president of the United States".

I like Joe and I support him as Obama's VP pick. I've been watching his political events online, since he doesn't get a lot of media attention. He's very good, and he makes a lot of sense to me. I am also moved by his personal story and I wish him and Obama much success.

I have heard Senator Obama referred to as "an empty suit", I say better an empty suit than an empty head aka McShame and Joan of Artic.

Unlike Palin Joe pays his own way home on the train and does not collect expenses from the state to stay in his own house.Palin charged Alaska for over 300 nights she slept in her own bed. Plain is a thief AND a liar.

Hey olivia, Fox News is that way—–>

Many of the comments I have just read consider Biden an honest guy, how about what he did to get his law degree. Is that what you call honest??

I give him props for doing this commute for so many years and sacrificing for his family and the people he represents. Hopefully he does not have to take any more train rides for 8 years after Nov. 4th.

Don't worry Joe, things will be back to normal in November – sorry to say Amtrack isn't Barry's taste though. He will likely have a driver to take him to his new day time talk show with Oprah in November.

Good for you Biden, You show REAL family values.

Too bad you can't have anymore nice peaceful trainrides home with a good book.

Remember when Bill Clinton said in his DNC speech, "I love Joe Biden, and America will too"? That's what he meant. Great guy.

And for those of you republicans out there, let me remind you that Biden rightly called Milosevic a war criminal to his face and was instrumental in bringing him to justice. Pee on that all you want, but that's decency and integrity at a level that your gal Sarah ain't got the chops for.

I find it quite hypocritical to hear McCain supporters express desire to leave Bristol Palin alone, which I agree with; but then they go and attack Joe Biden's son.

You go Joe!! I stay at home, hihihi

You gotta love a Veep candidate who's not afraid to be among the people, just to chat. Can't wait to see him in the white house alongside Obama!

I really like this down to earth man, I feel I can trust both him and Obama. I don't feel the same about the other two.

Biden is the best!

Hey I saw on u-tube that Palin and Obama may have something in common…. she may have an African American grandchild… no joke and the kid appear to be sincere … CNN if you don't post this at least investigate and discredit if I am wrong..

Carly simply made a mistake and told the truth…. she should have eloborate and stated they (McSame & PainLIN) couldn't run the White House either…. oh well

People say Joe is boring… plain.. he doesn't attack hard.. bite hard. You know what? Sounds good to me. This guy talks issues. Heck, sometimes I wonder if he wouldn't be better off as president. Oh well, let's keep the spotlight on celebrity Palin until that bright light burns the way it burned Obama during his European trip.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Jackson September 16th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Biden is a crook.

A lifelong politician, just like Obama.
America doesn't have any use for these two idiots!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So lets look at John McCain a career politician as well
Palin a Plain person who is a liar and a bully.
So who is an idiot Jackson looke like you are one!

No, don't be scared…. the facists are the Republican party,

Here is this nice man who is running for VP sitting on a train which he has done for over 30 years.Then we have the Republican VP who won't even take any questions from the public because she isn't "Respected". Like I tell my children you have to earn respect and lying about your resume isn't the right direction.

Biden is terrific. I have commuted on a bus for nearly 20 years of my working life…it means a lot to me to know he understands the real rat race of time, committment and family.

Meant Priceless – not Pricess

It's been a long day

Get use to the attention Mr. VP of the USA … there is a lot of work to be done and you are the man for the job!

MCCain: 'hey folks, join me, I'm going to reform worshington"…Man what a joke. He is Worshington. No way no how no mccain, no pain.

This is why I love the Biden Family. This is the most down to earth politician i've ever heard of. Gave up the plane rides to go back to what he's used too. Just got to love him

I wish people were more familiar with Biden's history. As the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he wrote the Community Oriented Policing act, which did more than anything else to lower the national crime rates drastically during the Clinton years–Bush has gutted that legislation for his own purposes.

As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and as the ranking Democrat on it for years, he has been one of the few people our (former) allies could trust to be straight with them while they were being amBushed by the administration.

This is a genuine statesman who is deservedly trusted by Americans and other countries. I can think of few people who could serve more creditably as Vice-President or, if need be, as President. So far as I know, he lacks the skill of skinning a moose or a baby seal. If that skill is necessary for election, perhaps someone would volunteer to coach him!

McCain can't resist blasting Obama, but loves his ideas and words.ENOUGH is ENOUGH! CHANGE is COMING!

All you people asking about Biden son working for lobbyist why dont you talk about McShame and his whole team of lobbyist!!!!!
Are you guys serious????? or are you just that DUMB! Would you vote George Bush is he was running for a 3rd term? if the answer is no why the hell would you vote for McShame?????

Obam/Biden 08!
we are working hard for Obama here in NC!!!!!

Joe = Real
Palin = Fake

Joe = Truth Teller
Palin = Liar

Joe = Bipartisan
Palin = Division

Riding on the train with Joe – Priceess

Trains are cheap. and this is a good way to save money.

Bring back the rails, If Japan can have the 100mph light rail perhaps its time for america to catch up?

Ask Joe Biden for his opinion on the economy and you get really good answers.

Ask Sarah Palin for her opinion and she says we need to drill for more oil…

Enough said.

Palin = Dick Cheney with lipstick

Seems like people are really hung up on Hunter Biden…what about the seven "former" lobbysists running the McCain campaign and teh "super lobbysit" pegged to run his "transition" team?

Anyway, was at the rally in Media, PA…which is why Joe was taking the train to Wilmington…the man is awesome…a genuine person. As a person of irish and italian heritage, I can relate to Joe Biden and his story. None of the women or me I know can relate to Sarah Palin. Each day we learn another reason why.

Go Joe go. I will continue to work for you and Senator Obama, all the way until the election is over and we are celebrating your victory.

m

Joe rocks alright…look at the interest rates on your credit cards and thank Mr.Biden for looking out for the big credit companies..Yes…he understands us alright..how to take our money.

Biden is ready to step in if needed. Palin would step in and have her husband running things from the background.

LOL, someone had the nerve to call Barbara Streisand a windbag. I'd say they were right, with pipes like that, I'd love to be a windbag.

That windbag is getting folks to shell out 28,000. per ticket. It's all for a good cause–Obama's election. Sounds good to me, wish I could afford it.

LOL……funny.

RealityKing, what are you talking about? Amtrak tickets are purchased out of pocket by the individual. So much for "Reality"!

A VP that mingles with ordinary citizens on a train. I like that. I did'nt see Dick Cheney do that and I dont foresee Palin doing that either.
Biden, we love you and you will be our VP anyday. OBAMA/BIDEN

Maybe Biden could give Palin a call to find out how to charge hundreds of dollars of per diem for every day he spent at home, like she does. But this guy is too honest to do that. Will we be able to have a look at the Palin tax return before the Election?

good grief if i was a McCain bot(which i'm not) i don't think i'd be bringing the lobbyist subject up…their whole campaign staff is connected to that in one way or another…

and for the idiot(abby) who asked why he's not "out on the trail" what rock are you hiding under..he's been stumping all over the place…and he still has a job as a senator…and a wife and family to go home to..now and then..

This is one more example of how in touch the Obama/Biden ticket is. I sure don't see McCain/Palin having a history of being normal. They are to busy figuring out which house to live in, or which animal to kill to find a fuel efficent way of commuting.

Gotta Love this Guy…

Enough is Enough

O/B

Hey "Dave, Illinois", have you counted the number of lobbyists at the top of McCain's staff? (Hint, it will take more than one hand)

To RealityKing:

Around $50/day – I et it's much less than what ALL of the other senators are charging us per day for their travel (private cars, limos, motorcades, jets, etc.)….

Palin gets in a private plane and closes the curtain to shut herself off from others.

Transparency?

Joe's son, by the way, is no longer a lobbyist. Get over it.

You want to talk about lobbyists…………McCain's economic advisor Phil Gramm is responsible for this financial mess. If you don't know who he is, google his name and the legislation he was responsible for.

And by the way, McCain's son was on the board of directors of a recently failed bank taken over by the Feds. His son is now costing tax payers millions.

The Republican ticket is finished….a comedy of errors!

Joe Biden, the only long term Washington politician in this race with honor and integrity! (and a sense of humor!)

This election has been a hoot! A comedy of errors. The Geezer and Gidget have allowed us to chuckle most of the week. But seriously folks, the laughter needs to stop…….the Republican ticket is not only weird, it's getting dangerous. They are both WACKO!!
VOTE OBAMA FOR A NEW DIRECTION!!

We love you and your family Joe don't worry McWar/ Mc Peglar will be returning to the sand dunes and the snow capped Mts .

People people get a grip. Obama/Biden and other Democrats is our ticket out of the last 8 yrs of a republican lead nightmare.

So don't worry be happy and vote Obama/Biden and only other Democrats and the good times will return for us all.

Is it me? Or are the McCain people throwing just anything in the other blog areas to hog the headlines?

That old man McCain is either nuts or he can't control his surrogates — or maybe both.

Obama/Biden '08 Let's take our country back for US

good guy

Joe,

I came to the Americas from Switzerland some 42 years ago. 32 years I spent in Canada, Province of Quebec right next to the Vermont border. The best TV reception I had came from Vermont. That is when I saw you for the first time presiding over some congressional committee. I remember quite alearly that I said to my wife: "You are looking at the President of the United States. I guess I got close.
Keep up the good work, Joe Biden, I am watching you from New York City now, waiting for the right to vote.

Peter Diemand

Vets for Biden!!!!

Pets for Biden!!!

Moose, and Polar Bears for Biden, and anything else Sarah kills.

IT TURNS OUT THAT "TROOPER GATE" IS A WITCH HUNT BY THE DEMS. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE RECORD OF
TROOPER WOOTEN AND SEE WHAT HE HAS DONE TO DESERVE BEING TERMINATED FROM THE POLICE FORCE:
1. HE TASERD HIS 10 YEAR OLD SON "AS AN EXPERIMENT"
2. WHILE HE WAS IN HIS GARAGE HE HAD TWO BEERS AND DROVE OFF IN HIS POLICE CAR WHILE ON DUTY.
3. HE WENT MOOSE HUNTING ON HIS WIDE'S HUNTING LICENSE
WHICH IS VIOLATION OF THE LAW..
4. HE ADMITTED TO OTHER "MISTAKES" AND ARE IN HIS OFFICIAL FILES .
AMERICANS OUGHT TO TELL CNN AND THE MEDIA WHY SARAH PALIN AS GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF ALASKA WOULD HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED IN FIRING THE "SAFETY OFFICIAL IN HER ADMINISTRATION FOR NOT FIRING THE TROOPER WHO WAS A DANGER TO THE COMMUNITY AND OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE
AND EXAMPLE OF A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN AND OF ALL PEOPLE
A POLICE OFFICER WHO DISOBEYS THE LAW…..THE WORST KIND OF OFFENDER..

To infinity and beyond!!!!!

Go Joe, America is counting on you.

America, 08

Joe you are the Man! you wanna know how to test your ticket??? ask yourself if you would vote for it if it were reversed!!! Obama/ Biden YES Biden/Obama YES McCain/Palin Welllll, Palin/McCain He%% NO

No one can tout morality or integrity when they are pro-abortion. Those two things are incongruous……

Look ahow Miss Alaska travels…..jet with a BIG curtain. lol lol lol

Go Joe, go Joe, go Joe.

American Joe, with a wonderful family and a platform that I can vote for.

Obama/Biden 08 and beyond.

I am old. I might have messed up her first name. But I sure remember the hearings.

GOOD LUCK JOE, GOD BLESS YOU AND SEN OBAMA

I love this guy! He's been fighting for working people all his life. I love to hear him speak because he really means what he says. Good ol' ordinary Joe!

Brothers unite vote Obama.

Biden's wife is NOT being subpoenaed. How refreshing. They're a regular family with family values.

Obama/Biden 08

Now this IS a great VP pick! You go Joe!!! Glad to CNN is covering you. You have more substance in one speech than that other VP has had all together. Oh wait, she just gives the same speech and is to ignorant to take questions.

You are a person of integrity and I am very happy you are on the ticket. The True ticket of change from the republican's failures.

CNN–We demand more biden coverage! Stop being so one-sided and playing to McCain's same ol' song.

2 Republican truths in a matter of days.. Following Karl Rove admitting that McCain is a Liar, Fiorini admits that he is as incompetent as she is. Quite frankly it's unwise to elect people who crash things or take counsel from others who instinctively crash things…whether it be Milion dollar Planes, Multi-Million dollar Corporations or Multi-trillion dollar Economies.. Let's keep these crashers out

Who cares how Biden gets anywhere , problem is he and obama are lame.

I like Biden. He will be a great leader and a wonderful VP

Love Joe and love Barack. It's a lovefest people.

Obama/Biden 08

What a nice guy. Friendly, honest, smart…just what we need in the White House. What a change!

It seems like all the Mccain/Palin commenters on the CNN blog are very uneducated, illiterate, and downright ignorant. Go figure…considering the candidates they are supporting. Keep on posting, repug drones…it HELPS show remotely intelligent people how ignorant you and your Presidential choices are.

How much does it cost the taxpayers for him to ride Amtrak twice daily from Delaware to Washington DC? I'll bet it's enough to buy a really nice house in DC. Anyone who didn't go to Amtrak to find out… I did it's almost 400 dollars a day. Thanks Joe lunchbucket.

If Obama was to pick anyone besides Hillary as his running mate, I am glad it was Joe Biden. He is a straight shooting and all around good guy. I will take him any day.
Keep up the good work Joe!

And Jackson is an idiot…

What a refreshing change from the old DC status quo

O'8

I love Joe Biden, he's such a good guy. I'm so glad he's on Barack's ticket. Can't wait to see him get sworn in as our next VP and I can't wait to welcome him and his family to Washingon, D.C.

Ok now I know that I am not dumb, but does anyone remember "bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran?"

Obama and Biden all the way they are regular people Mccain he doesn't even know how many houses he has!

All of you who just said Hillary supporters for McCain are truly ignorant. You never cared about Hillary, only that she was a woman or the white option in the primary. Now you're showing that you're just racists, acting as if you're Democrats. Anything to oppose the black guy right? You disgust me.

Jackson,

If Biden is a crook, what do you call a Governor who bills the state to spend the night in her own home? Or who hires her unqualified, simpleminded, uneducated high school friends to fill her staff? And that "my friend" is just the tip of the ice berg.
Get a life and deal with the fact that your empire is crumbling.
Ding dong the Repubs are gone!

Obama/Biden 08!

"Hillary supporter for McCain" asked if Joe's "lobbyist" son would join him on the train. No, sorry, he's heading off to fight in Iraq.

By the way, if you're a Hillary supporter, why are you stabbing her in the back? Why are you stabbing Chelsea in the back, too?

You go Joe, I hope you're a good VP, unlike … sorry, I forget

i know you will not post this comment, but PLEASE, PLEASE,,,,WHY DO YOU COVER PALIN EVENTS WHEN SHE WILL NOT TALK TO THE PRESS OR THE PEOPLE UNLESS TOTALLY SCRIPTED. You guys should have more ba….s than that. Refuse to cover her until she steps up to the plate. All the other candidates give interviews. This is outrageous that she will not!!!! JUST KEEP REPORTING THAT SHE IS UNWILLING TO GIVE INTERVIEWS …..DO NOT COVER HER RALLY'S…SEE HOW FAST THEY WILL COME AROUND

Wolf is going too far "The situation Room", why doesn't he run Obama's new ad "Fundamentals", His best political team talks about Obama doesn't have specific in economic well…I watched recent Colarado speech of Obama he is very specific the choice is so clear, why these best political team do not watch the whole speech of Obama. CNN is manupulating this election by not reporting fairly…I can tell easily what they will say next…

Here's a guy who was supporting public transportation while George Bush was giving tax breaks for buying SUVs.

And McCain, he takes the train, too. Only it's the Coors train running through the Rockies on Cindy's golden tracks.

THOMAS—he didn't resign as a lobbyist, he was forced out by Obama.

Biden is the real "straight-talker!" McCain seems to be the real "straight-lair!"

I can't stand the thought of John "I don't understand economics" McCain's trying to fix the mess we are in. That's why I'm supporting a Democrat for the first time ever!

MESSAGE TO JOE BIDEN;

Joe, when you meet up with Sarah Palin at the Oct. 2 debate—
BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.

Sarah Palin 12 & 16′

Well, now they know you are a nuisance big-mouth.

You're taking to the celebrity like a duck to water.

vperry r u on republican payroll? every ticker u write the same comment or is it that u know only that to write lol

How much does his commute cost for the last 36 years? What does it matter? He pays for it out of his own pocket just like you and me. At least he is not using a goverment plane to fly home. The man wants to see his family at night. After his wife was killed he promised his children that no matter what he would be there for them and he kept his promise. The nerve of that man!

Now look at that, someone that has been in the public eye for many years and is likeable. Palin has been around for two weeks and people THOUGHT she was one of them. They are now seeing that she is a fake and a liar.

Joe rocks! He and Barack are way more populist than the McCains — Cindy's jewelry that she wore the final night of the RNC cost more than my HOUSE.

OBAMA=BIDEN

You only get one chance to make a 1st impression….and I don't like what I have seen in Pailin.

Obama/Biden 4-ever

Joe Biden is a man of honor, down to earth, and a real man who has nothing to hide. I wasn't totally sold on this VP pick initially, but he's proven himself to be just what he says he is…an HONEST man.

Palin…what a joke.

Obama/Biden '08!

Joe Biden is awesome!!

Whatever you do don't eat the microwaved hotdogs!!!! But yo uknew that…

“Hey, I’m the nuisance,”…wow what a great guy…he is going to make a great VP

His life will never be the same………………and he still has a day job, with more "Perks"! Wished I could be so lucky……..

gotta love him – honest and transparent!

Joe Biden has not sold his soul for the veep job. it really seems like palin mccain have done just that. they have gone down that path of deceit and once you do it is hard to reverse. Joe Biden has more humility and more integrity than pal-cain put together.

Whatever happens on Nov 4, Biden and Obama will wake up the next day with their integrity intact. Bash them all you want, but you know that they are decent people who could bring respect back to the White House and to the US.

Hey "Dave, ILLinois' YOUR the IDIOT- after 8 yrs of failed policies and the Economy in the gutter – you still support a candidate who suppots the same failed policies! Can you say "DUMB"! Empty suit is what McCain is all about you should look up Youtube: McCain youtube problem just became a nightmare.
McCain: Double Talk Express!
Who's the IDIOT now DAVE!

Obama/Biden 08/12

Biden=NOT under investigation…….Only in America

Go Joe! Tell it like it is! You've got integrity.

I'm sick of people talking about Biden's son. How about McCain's son who conveniently quit his job as a banker right before the bank went under in Nevada. Anybody want to talk about that……….or the 134 lobbyists running the McCain campaign…..or the lobbyist he tapped to help him figure out who is going to run his administration…………I thought not!

Now that is transparency.

Contrast it to the way Palin travels…..

he is a good honest guy!

Biden is a crook.

A lifelong politician, just like Obama.

America doesn't have any use for these two idiots!!

Joe you're the man!

vperry…I scared that McCain does not get that the economy is in trouble, I think he believes that we all have 7 homes and to be rich you need $5 mill

I wonder if anyone else notices that all the comments made by the McCain-Palin supporters are so snide and just plain ignorant, very much like the candidates they support.

Why does anyone bring up the children. If he son was forced not to be a lobbyist by his dad you'd cry foul, now you cry foul because he was a lobbyist. Why don't we focus on Joe and Obama's records and ideas, or McCain and Palin's record and ideas. Let's get a future!

Go Dems

Who would you rather sit beside on a 2 hour train commute – Palin or Biden?

Give me BIden any day – Every day. Love this guy!

How much has this commute cost the taxpayer? For the last 36 years if I must ask??

And he's not under investigation either.

That is amazing how McCain goes all the way to Alaska to find a blizzard of controversy. Bad judgment call. Bad….Bad…

Hey "Paul, NY" your the idiot if you think that he cut all financial ties and benefits. Im sure his thought is that his resignation will only be in effect until daddy is elected. Your a prime example of a simple-minded Obamite thats all mouth, just like your empty suit candidate.

Now that's a real "Joe". Senator Biden has always been in touch with the men and women of America and he will make a great Vice President.

Joe, we will be proud to have you as our Vice President!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!

The Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square
I heard he is a federal lobbyist as well. It just never ends.

He resigned as a federal lobbyist. You are behind in the news.

he dont we want to leave the children out this peoppllllllle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because we can have a million and one things to say about the Republican V.P. pick children!!!! dont go there!!!!!!!!

What a regular Joe!

Obama-Biden '08!

I am scared that Obama is a fascist.

you go Joe!

I like Joe!

See, now here is someone who really is one of the people. and it's nioce tio see he has an accurate view of himself and his place in the world, unlike others. *cough* palin *cough*

WHY is Biden at home – he needs to be out on the trail.
Funny – the obama gang expects HILLARY to campaign for obama – WHY can't Biden – after all – HE is the VP candidate!

Has anyone noticed that the Obama and Biden families sure appear to be more human than the android & plasticized McCain and Palin families? I'd sure prefer a "human" President & VP than a "robot and a Barbie doll"!

mccain wants to veto beer.

too bad his son had to quit his job after Joe's nomination…it's a tough job market with Nancy ruining things.

Obama/Biden

"I wonder if his lobbyist son will join him on the trip home?"

Educate yourself idiot!! He resigned from his role as lobbyist last week.. A sign that Obama/Biden really do want to change this country!!

Hillary Supporters for McCain September 16th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

I wonder if his lobbyist son will join him on the trip home?

Ummm or his other son that is in Iraq. GIVE ME A BREAK!

Hey Joe I heard your son made a lot of money from the mortgage brokers. Is this true?

I heard he is a federal lobbyist as well. It just never ends.

Obama risky and a gamble with our security

McCain will protect our country.

Down to earth, friendly, an ordinary American man!!!

I like him!

Students for Obama/Biden!!!

Now this is a guy that truely IS one of us and is a sparkling example of american integrity and honesty.

Obama made a spectacular call in judgement by selecting him. These two are by far the best suited to lead our country out of the dire peril that McCain/Palin have caused us.

Obama/Biden '08 (Integrity, Judgement, Honesty, Morals)

OBAMA – BIDEN ALL THE WAY BABY!!

I wonder if his lobbyist son will join him on the trip home?

This guy's character is great.

Gotta love Joe…great sense of humor
