For those of you who are on the fence, because you aren't sure if Biden was the right choice for Vice President, maybe you should watch this video to understand why Obama selected him. No ABC interviews with "deference," no smears about his personal life, just a Senator who is not afraid to speak his mind and understands foreign policy.


From March 2007 I believe.

I'm actually a bit worried about the debates because he is so smart and tough. I'm afraid that he will end up looking like he's trying to beat up on her simply because he's more knowledgable. I've actually thought of the possibility of her crying during the debates or in an interview. Then it's, "Oh, poor Palin. That Joe Biden is just a big meanie."

I used to coach debate, and when you have more knowledge and skills than your opponent, you have to hold back or you end up looking like a jerk. Of course, I have never dealt with politicians and debate, so this worry that I have could be totally baseless. I just wonder how it would look to the viewers.

He can get aggressive...and I really do feel sorry for her...But hey,,,he would be that way with a man canidate so why not with her... She can handle it,,,right?

Of course Repubs are going to be upset...I agree,,,they will definitly say he was too mean,,,because she is a woman...and he is sexist and blah blah blah...But, they will see who can do the job better for sure.

I feel sorry for her...I really do. I don't think there is enough time to prep her for this... There is no way...He is a hungry shark ready to feed....

Yes, we have to be very easy on the Republicans because if you're too intelligent or if you prove to be too knowledgeable or care about real issues, then they'll accuse the Dems of being "elitist". Remember, McCain supporters are looking to pander to the folks that don't care to understand or care to know anything about foreign affairs. They want our leaders of equal intelligence to themselves- remember?

Remember in debate you only get 90 seconds to answer ... Biden, like Obama can't make a point in 90 seconds.

Instead of looking at how forcefully he is giving the speech.....did you by chance listen to the content of his speech?


If you did what is relatively stable? Also this was put over 1 year ago. Are you trying to prove how wrong he was? Seriously he was talking about how the surge won't work.
