Any alcohol buzz I had earlier tonight is long gone, but the idea that even Obama could do something this dumb has got me rolling on the floor.

Seriously [trying real hard to stop laughing], I think Biden might make a decent first impression with the electorate (those not already familiar with him), helped by the MSM not making a big deal of his past foot-in-mouth episodes. But as the VP candidate, he can’t help getting a lot of exposure; and Biden is the kind of guy that grates the more you see of him, familiarity breeding contempt. It’s hard to believe how Obama’s handlers didn’t see this.

Of course, only time will tell.

But on about October 25, after Biden has said something about McCain’s POW time as being an “extended vacation”, after he says on Meet the Press that he is proud to be running with such a “clean” nominee, after he tells some reporters that Bush should be executed for war crimes, at which point, when Obama will be punching holes in walls and cursing everyone who told him to go with Biden, then we’ll know how right your gut was.

And yes, I made up the quotes (except for the “clean” one). But with Biden, they’re not at all far fetched

as if

When the fact is that what causes Americans to reject known liberals is their liberal views, not what particular liberal is at the top or bottom of the ticket and what skeletons they have in closets that walk around.

And once we understand and internalize this fact, our repubs won’t lose their spines 72 hrs after they win and move to DC.

But I think you are looking at Biden from purely a “resume” standpoint. Yes, he is very experienced overall, especially in foreign policy, which balances out Barry’s complete lack of any experience. Would he make a decent President (decent for a liberal Democrat, anyway)? Perhaps. But I’m asking how he looks as a VP candidate; an entirely different question.

As you concede, he is “gaffe prone”. I do not believe that, given the endless press he will have for the next two and a half months, he will be able to control his diatribes. He’s the epitome of a loose cannon. I understand why Barry picked him; he wants someone who can go negative without hesitation. And yes, Biden can and will do that. It is what he will say above and beyond this that should give Democrats the willies.

As for abortion, I hope you are right in that Democrats are becoming more open to the pro-life position. However, I cannot help but think that Biden was selected, in part, to help mute the growing firestorm over Barry’s casual indifference to infanticide and nothing more.

If it was a good pick, I’d have a pit in my stomach envisioning the bounce that leads to a narrow win that leads to 4 years under this horrible inexperienced leftwing Obama.

I dont get that at all. I am calm and at peace, and I am even enjoying the moment.

My gut never lies. This is a good pick … for us.
