I realize Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as his running mate is old news, but I didn’t see a thread about it here, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to bring it up. I’m going to try to be objective in my analysis, because as a libertarian, I strongly oppose the Democratic agenda. You need to respect the tree-huggers and baby-killers…
Biden, whether you agree with him or not, has experience in foreign policy, and that is something Obama desperately needs if he’s going to be seen as a credible candidate. Biden’s logic can’t hurt when Obama believes Iran is “not a serious threat” to the world. I don’t know if his foreign policy credentials will help ease the menopausal Clinton fans minds, though. I think Biden will help with middle-class voters in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania (Biden was born in Scranton), where Obama got his testicles handed to him by Clinton during the primary season.
The one problem with Biden is that he’s not afraid to speak his mind. That’s good most of the time, but when he’s placed in a debate with Gov. Sarah Palin, he’ll have to keep a tight lip. One wiseass joke and the women will flock to the Republicans. He CANNOT bring up the pregnancy of Palin’s 17 year old daughter AT ALL. Never mind that Palin’s daughter is a slut and that contradicts the 44 year old governor’s social conservative message…He can’t bring it up. That’s the end of it.
I don’t believe this election will be the blowout Democrats think it will be. Obama may be up in the polls, but that Dukakis dude was 15 points ahead of Bush around this time, and we all saw how that turned out…
Barr/Root 2008!
