This is hilarious. A bunch of people commenting on a blog are judging Biden who has not even been given the job yet.

All these great liberals here. Why don't you idiot progressives win a race, then you would have the opportunity to choose a VP.

You see, Progressives couldn't win a game of bingo. All they know how to do is whine.

Biden was an excellent choice. I trust Obama because he knows how to win.

Progressives on a web site have no idea how to win. They just know how to whine.

So judging by the losers on your threads Ezra. Obama made the right choice.

But why would Obama know. He is only doing something. You crying babies are posting on a web site.

Obama earned the right to pick Biden. If we listened to all the idiots here, John Edwards be the nominee.

So here's an idea whiners. Shut your fucking mouth until you see Biden in action.

Why don't you pussies run yourself if you are so smart. That would take effort. And it is so much easier to sit home and jackoff to your pictures of Nader and think you really mean something.

Well, you do mean something. You mean shit.

At a minimum, Biden will be entertaining (in a good way).

that video was so entertaining, i watched it six times!
oh happy day!!!

Joe Biden, D-MBNA/BoA/Countrywide???

Freakin advocate for the middle class my hiney.

Sad.

i hope several members of the collective known as jacqueline go bankrupt because of credit card debt caused by medical bills

Ken - Is it true that Obama's balls taste like a Chicago dog but with a hint of cardamon?

I LOVE that bit. I never fails to entertain. The bankruptcy bill is going to be tough stuff to handle although when it occurred few Americans gave a sh*&.

Yeah, John Edwards was the only progressive choice at some point. Yikes!

What a safe, sad choice. Entirely expected, if one has read Obama's books.

But damn. I will always mourn in a year like this what could have been.

- PS: I have a kitten that could pwn McMegan on her criticism of your post; someone needs to put her out of her misery in regards to how actual economies work.

Sad and stupid pick.
It should have been Hillary, but apparently Obamas problems with powerful women run very deep...still has Mommy issues apparently.

Obama basically panicked when Russia went into Georgia, he looked like a deer in the headlights with his first public statement.

This is a clear admission that Obama is not a genuine change agent, Biden has been playing the same old Washington game since Obama was 10 years old.

Biden is even worse then Obama when it comes to talking down to women.

If McCain is politically smart, which he hasn't shown much yet, he will go with a women.

"recapping Biden's effort to disrupt the war in Iraq through the Biden-Lugar resolution"

Is Ezra stupid or a liar?

Biden is a slap in the face to Hillarys' female supporters. Biden is the anti-Hillary.
He's that swarmy, creepy in you face guy at the bar with the hair plugs and loud mouth.
You try to be nice but just wish he would go away and leave you alone.

I love that Biden can do that while finishing his breakfast.

Good times. Biden has the creds for strong foreign policy debate. The best choice by far.

Biden is a creature of Washington DC. He had 3 years work as a lawyer and then went to Washington at the age of 29 and has been there ever since.

How is he going to change Washington Barack? He is Washington.

Thanks for the 3 AM message too buddy, way to make sure I was first to know. What a friggin' con.

The election will be about the economy, not foreign policy. How much help will Biden give Obama with Jobs Jobs Jobs? Here in the Midwest, Biden is an unknown.

Obama has been off message since he decided to go to Europe. The huge number of votes for Clinton should have been a clue that the Obama economic message was not reaching the voters.

"If McCain is politically smart, which he hasn't shown much yet, he will go with a women."

Indeed. If he goes with Palin, he wins the election.

First Democratic ticket in over 40 years without a liberal on it.

The all General Electric ticket must please Ezra to no end.

LoL, the McTrolls are out in full force tonight! Keep racking up those McPoints, haters. Fucking pathetic.

"LoL, the McTrolls are out in full force tonight! Keep racking up those McPoints, haters. Fucking pathetic."

Obama is the troll, Soullite.

Good choice. Serious choice. It allows for the continuation of the portrayal of McCain as an out of touch plutocrat. Choosing megabucks on their way to billionaire status Clintons would end that line of attack . McCain has very few women from which to choose. Palin will seem like a transparent play for women's vote. She just lacks the credentials. The senator from Texas is too old to be matched with McCain. I doubt Fiorina brings with her the respect of the business world.

Indeed. If he goes with Palin, he wins the election.

God, you're retarded.

Have you ever seen her? She comes off like a backbencher from the PTA.

Can the petey and others just be honest and admit there is nothing obama could have done here other than say he's no longer going to seek the nomination ? It's tiresome to read the same posts by Anon, Petey, etc every post which are essentially pretending that it was about something Obama did versus being about Obama, period. More than tiresome, it's just you rolling around in your own manure. Biden isn't my first, second or third pick, but he's a good to descent choice. I don't like some of his votes, but I am not going to use that as an excuse to make him into the worse choice ever. I challenge you to provide a balanced view of Biden, or Obama? Can you do that Anon or petey? Some how I think not. In your construction Obama is far worse than Mccain. This is something like how the discussion goes with PUMA types-- Mccain is anti abortion. Obama is pro choice but ambivalent about abortion. "Well Obama is the worse candidate we have on abortion ever." It's almost like you are constitutional incapable of placing his views in context compared to McCain. Criticism is fine. But what you ae doing isn't criticism. It's masturbation.

I'll have to admit, the Biden pick puzzles me. I can only guess that Obama felt particularly vulnerable when it came to foreign policy. Or maybe he felt he needed a VP who would be all too ready to be the "attack dog". After all, Biden's "a noun, a verb, and 9/11" comment is perhaps the defining sentence for Rudy Giuliani today.

Still, I'm rather disappointed that Sebelius wasn't picked. That would have been my dream ticket.

The interesting question to me is whether Bayh, Chet Edwards, and some of the other awful names that were floated were ever true contenders, or whether the Obama campaign just put their names out there to mollify progressive opposition to the eventual pick, who would look good in comparison.

You're off your case, Petey!

With lots of candidates, I watch them muck up their campaign and think, "doesn't he see this is all wrong? What the hell is his problem?" and look as they go down in defeat. With Obama, even if I do sometimes think the same thing, afterwards I realize, "Wow. He really knew what he was doing."

If he goes with Palin, he wins the election.

Ah, yes: If he does, he must be hoping that news from Alaska travels south on a moose. Palin's star ain't so shiny any more.

More find-the-lady from Petey the grifter, brought to you in association with InTrade and the craps game in the back-alley.

Though that theory begs a question: why put all that energy into mollifying progressives (who are probably the least likely to bolt), and so little into mollifying HRC supporters? I'm not a Hillary fan, but the *lack* of effort put into pretending that she was evah a contenda strikes me as easily read as either arrogant or vindictive.

I was thinking about this, and it seems to me that, assuming Obama was never going to pick Hillary, it was smarter to telegraph that fact all along.

The other option, stringing her and her supporters along only to disappoint them in the end, strikes me as being much more likely to produce a backlash.

If Hill was never a possibility, I think he handled it about right: keep her in the discussion to some degree, out of respect, but make it relatively clear that it wasn't going to be her.

There are lots of elements of the trolling here that are high-larious, but my favorite is the one saying that Biden has a bad record on women's rights, despite the fact that by every objective measure, he has the best record in the Senate. You know you're really grasping for straws when you stoop to that shit.

Obama is the troll, Soullite.

It's Petey. I remember not too long ago when he was pushing John Edwards (who I liked). How would that one have worked out, Petey?

Then it was Hillary, and still is I think. I sure hope Petey is going for McCain now. Kiss of death and all that.

What is the deal with akaison's fixation on masturbation? Does the guy have issues or just a limited set of tropes?
