Ebony & Ivory
Obama has repeatedly stated that his campaign represents women.
He has repeatedly stated that he represents the Latino community.
Understandably, he represents the African - American community.
"O" says he stands for change, and yet, in the end, his pollsters convinced him that he was too weak on foreign policy in comparison to John McCain. Solution? Tap the one Democrat who has spent his entire lifetime in the Political Beltway- without really doing anything of note - except Chair the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Obama's pick for Veep is non other than Jumpin' Joe Biden.
So much for 'change'. Obama could have picked a woman to be his running mate. Obama could have picked a Latino for his running mate. Obama could have picked an African American for his running mate (talk about REAL change- that would have garnered this writer's attention), but he didn't. He settled. He settled hard. He settled for the whitest cracker in the Democratic Party. (Me thinks that the inspiration for Steve Martin's movie character in The Jerk was inspired by Biden.) Obama just canceled out his own words, "I stand for change in Washington, I'm not a career politician..." No, perhaps not. But he just picked one for his running mate. If this was a calculated decision, then just like in mathematics, they cancel each other out.
Is it ANY wonder the Democrats continue to row their boat year after year with nothing more than fly-swatters for oars? God help us if these two get their way. One stands for "change" without any supporting details, the other stands for any and every change as it supports his personal political career.
McCain, are you paying attention? You've just been handed a gift of Mt. McKinley proportions...

Well said, friend.
Biden is, by some accounts, a good family man; however, he's been in Washington since he was in his 20's, for crying out loud! He is the ultimate insider.
I still say Obama will not stand the scrutiny of a national campaign (read Peggy Noonan in Friday's Wall Street Journal). The American people are going to see him as the totally empty suit he really is.

Can you imagine applying for, say, an engineering job and saying, "Well, I'm not a career engineer. But I can get people excited about a new bridge, so that should be good enough."
The problem with picking Hillary is that he might have won, and then he would have had to deal with Hillary & Bill for four years. I think Joe Biden is a much more pliant choice to govern with, but Obama did fractionally decrease his chance of winning. One can only hope Biden will be Biden in front of a camera and give the election away completely with some intemperate remark. Maybe something along the lines of Obama's own "clinging" statement.
