Picking a typical racist cracker was not my first choice. I'm only letting him hang around until I'm elected, then under the bus he goes.

This race will be... priceless. If you'll allow me to indulge you all with some sage ruminations from Jonah Goldberg on Biden (from a 2005 post at The Corner) (http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=Yzg1ZWRkMWY1NzE5Y2YyMmJhMmRmNmQ2NTJiOWZhOGY=):

He says interesting things, from time to time. I think he makes a fair point here and there. He was correct, for example, that Congress needed to have a real debate over the war. I think he has some obvious verbal intelligence. But, again, what's fascinating — and what might be distracting some folks from seeing his underlying-yet-occaisonal smarts — is that he lets his ego and vanity get in the way. The man loves his voice so much, you'd expect him to be following it around in a grey Buick, in defiance of restraining order, as it walks home from school. He seems to think his teeth are some kind of hypnotic punctuation marks which can momentarily disorient the listener and absolve him from any of Western civilization's usual imperatives to stop talking. Listening to him speechify is like playing an intellectual game of whack-a-mole where every now and then the fuzzy head of a good point pops up from the tundra but before you can pin it down, he starts talking about how he went to the store and saw a squirrel on the way and it was brown which brings to mind Brown V. Board of Ed which most people don't understand because [TEETH FLASH] he taught Brown in his law school course and [TEETH FLASH] Mr. Chairman I'm going to get right to it and besides these aren't the droids you're looking for...

So glad he didn't pick an old white guy. LOL

Looks like with the convention here, all the pretenses amd subtlety are going out the window. If you don't vote for Obama, you're a g*ddamn racist, period.

Posted by: mega at August 23, 2008 9:17 AM

I'm a lot more comfortable with Biden. He looks like those guys on the dollar bills.

This upsets people who weren't going to vote for Obama anyway.

Posted by: Max at August 23, 2008 9:38 AM

I wasn't going to vote for Obama and I'm pleased he picked a running mate who has already expressed what a poor a choice Obama would make as President.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... the only chance Obama had at being elected was to have Hillary as his running mate. Instead he "dissed"(as people of his race put it) Ms. Clinton by not even allowing her to pretend to be considered as a potential VP. Instead of giving a little common courtesy to the old white lady he pushed her under the bus along with grandma. Without thinking he also pushed his chances at being elected President under that same bus.

The only thing that could've upset me was if Obama had picked Hillary as his VP. Now he has little to no chance of being elected which does not upset me in the least.

I have only two words for McCain: Sarah Palin.

I could be wrong, but aside from the fact that she's a strong conservative, she's a SHE. You think that will fall unnoticed by all of those pissed off Hillary voters who just got thrown under the Obama Express along with her? I don't think so.

Do I want this woman a heartbeat away from the Presidency? Not sure...although I think she's be OK. I DO know I want Obama as far away from the White House as possible.

I agree with you Cartman, Biden is a boring political insider with a big tendency for "foot in mouth" disease. Obama got zero from this choice in terms of picking up new support.

Posted by: matt at August 23, 2008 11:22 AM

Not true. He picked Biden to go after the older white male vote.

SnoBama knows that the 'Sweeties' will just vote the party ticket at the end of the day.

oooh, oooh, hey myster kotterrrrr!!!

matt - besides that, Sarah Palin is a babe.


Not that I noticed, mind you. :-)

Still hard to beieve Yomama picked a typical white person.

Obama/Biden "AIDS" video on youtube-- view count is frozen!

Hey Deet, was that Tourette's Syndrome or do you work for the Department of Redundancy Department?

The "kids for Obama" thing reminds me of every BS Speilberg movie where there is some wise, unflappable kid who saves the day and makes the adults look like morons.

Kids for Obama? Like kids have the slightest idea about politics and world issues and governance? OH, I FORGOT! We don't instruct or discipline kids any longer. We let them "feel the inner self" and "follow their heart". I guess they don't get in touch with their inner child because...well...they're children. Maybe their inner pre-natal child or something.

OK, so the next few days "O" will get his big bounce. Then we'll see how this will all shake out. I'd LOVE it if he stayed within 3 points of McCain, even after his "I have a dream about taking your money" speech at that football stadium.

Taking a cue from Hitler; indoctrinate the youth. Obamajugend?

Posted by: Mr Evilwrench at August 23, 2008 2:55 PM

"...and did I mention he's white?"

This gains Obama nothing. McCain should pick Kasich and just put this thing away - get OH and PA, and it's about done.

Posted by: Smoke TNT at August 23, 2008 5:26 PM

I'm originally from Delaware and I would not vote for Joe Biden at all. I remember when Biden was in all that hot water with his plagerism scandel. I guess he thinks it is okay run as veep for a candidate that wants to "copy" Marx's ideas.

They are made for each other.

This is one typical middle aged white guy that isn't voting for either of them.

Posted by: Steve at August 23, 2008 6:32 PM

KASICH! What a great idea. He is perfect...not sure why than never occured to me.

Posted by: matt at August 23, 2008 7:28 PM

OIOA! Are you coming to the Islands? Though I was never honored to wear the uniform - I love buying beers for Marines. Steak and beer on me, dude.

Is the Crouching Lion still a good place to get vittles?

California says green cars need more noise

Posted by: Oiao at August 23, 2008 9:52 PM

Ooo... for a minute there I thought that said Crouching Loin...

Damned near freaked me out.

Oiao - I'm the last person to ask about good local food - I work all day, sleep when I can, and eat a lot of spam sandwiches. If it's still good, we'll find out. The farthest I get from home or office is the local pub on the corner - LuLu's surfer/sports bar at Kapahulu/Kalakaua. They have a decent steak, great view of the ocean, babes, and beer. Everything I need.

Posted by: Jimbo at August 23, 2008 10:08 PM

Sound like a plan. I've probably eaten there. I like the area.

Hey Van, this is for you and Moonbattery!

This is not a cut n past of someone else’s finding.
Check this long hair kid out making news in Denver on both sides of the protest fight. The question is, which side of the political spectrum is he really on? I actually was surprised to see him on Hot Air as a leftoid, after I had read a Denver Post article last night claiming he was protesting abortion!
Hot air provides an interview of him Hot Air – Encounters with the Left (Jason undercover) at Jason interviews Erin or Tommy??? . Note that in the video with Jason, ‘Erin’ is not too conversant on the left talking points, or is pretending to be against the Christian right because he thinks Jason is a real leftie. Who knows?

But, what is this kids real name? Is he also know as Tommy and really an undercover Christian against abortion as this Denver Post article surmises Seventeen-year-old Tommy Thomas towered over a small woman (snip) "Do you think it's OK to kill babies?" the young, shaggy-haired abortion protester from El Paso County said to Jill McLaughlin or did the Denver Post just use his image in a photo to represent him as the Tommy (another person protesting abortion) that the article is about?

Note- the Denver Post link might pull up an add first, just close it or page back to see the DPoo article.


Either way, this kid is getting lots of attention early in the game, from both sides of the fight, and he is probably clueless.

Someone might want to tell Jason of Hot Air to find this kid and let him know that he is about to be equally hated and singled out by both sides of the fight, due to his new found popularity.

Posted by: Oiao at August 24, 2008 10:31 AM

The Hot Air vids just made it onto MM. Everyone posting is saying that Jason was Punking the kid, however, did Hot Air get punked?

It would be too funny if this kid is himself a plant, though it is doubtful that he is.
