4. Of the rumored top three, he's an easy favorite for me. I don't see any of them though.

3. he's a tough fighter
Which is an important quality in a VP. Compelling life story. Catholic - important demographic. Excellent on foreign affairs, which some voters seem to think McCain is stronger than Obama on (puh-leez...). And he has a lot of political experience without looking like Grandpa Simpson, which defuses any McCain advantage on that front.

6. At this point I suppose it
doesn't matter. If Obama has chosen, he has chosen. This scenario has sure gotten the media all tied up in knots. No matter who it is the media will have a field day. I am so sorry the election process has become so theatrical. I remember, back in the day. . . well, maybe I don't.

11. i don't think obama was checking DU every 5 minutes prior to choosing
So no reason not to discuss now.

(At least, I sure as hell HOPE he wasn't checking DU prior to choosing!)

8. Makes sense....
They have been saying Biden for a week now. Why would Obama wait all this time to text everyone the most expected choice?....

9. He fights for the banks and long suffering credit lenders....
And he fights to make sure blue collar workers and all others who experience job loss or illness and end up in a whirlwind of debt find it near impossible to escape.

There are better choices...

13. Insults as usual from you guys--I've followed this issue for a long time..
So all your "you don't know Joe" and "it's Delaware, he had to do it" does not move me. Give it up, some of us will never give him a pass on the big banks--and it isn't ignorance.

15. I will add to that. I have been
against that man since he allowed Clarence Thomas to be appointed to the SCOTUS. He could have stopped it and he didn't. And you are correct about the credit card companies.

10. To tell you the truth I think you can make a case for almost any of the hopefuls.
That's why I'm not looking too much at the speculators even though I'm rooting for Clark or Richardson. It's anyone's game.

14. Well, since you just woke up from that coma ....
Are you kidding? Have you watched any TV the past week? Have you read this board for one hour the last week?

I'm always amused by posters who challenge other posters to prove something to their satisfaction. Prove it for yourself, it's as easy as reading.

It's going to be Biden because that's who our nominee, Barack Obama, thinks is best. Any more questions?
