If it's true, can I have an award or something?

I predicted this about a week ago.

You've GOT to be kidding. Why don't you wander over to the Hillary Clinton forum and see what the gals (and guys) are saying about this rumor.

Exactly. And then there would be the big question, "Uh, Obama didn't you vet him? Didn't you know he was seriously ill just a few weeks ago?"

won't happen

Biden may not be a celebrity, but he is a very wise choice.

Would Hillary agree to pull his acorns out of the fire? Would Bill? One of the reasons they doscounted Hillary was Bill's presidential library fund that is loaded with scandal.

It would really make him look bad, I think. Would anyone believe Biden was ill? I think not.

So Palin is young, attractive, energetic, maybe even charming or charismatic? Sounds very appealing, her followers should probably beware though, showing enthusiasm for a candidate with the above characteristics might be seem as mindless or dumb or superficial even . I know it's shocking, but apparently that happens when voters become excited about a politician. It's not so bad for you though, us Obama fans have been dealing with it for the past 18 months, you guys only have to tough it out for the next 2 months.

What does her energy and youth have to do with the issues? Nothing, I believe. Which speaks volumes about some members of the electorate, it seems to me, that's they've been "energized" by her.

I'm not arguing her 'energy', I don't follow the McCain camp.

She is as far removed from me politically as can be, woman or not, I wouldn't vote for her if she were a man (or any combination thereof...) The only thing I don't like about Biden is the same thing I don't like about McCain- too many years in Washington. And no, I don't believe the 'taking on his party' line.
