Question for Biden Supporters...

[Steely_Dan]

Would you feel somewhat vindicated if Biden gets the VP nod?

-P

1. I'll call it a good result.

[Muttocracy]

2. in a word, yeah. More broadly

I'll be happy with any of a number of possible VPs, but I hope it's one of the older experienced knowledgeable types without family scandal/drama. I'm strange that way.

[Steely_Dan]

3. Honestly...

It would go a long way in making me feel better. I have been so bitter since Biden dropped out.

4. It would make me feel "somewhat" better

and over time maybe a LOT better. Right now I am so glad he is getting the recognition that has evaded him for so long. I am so tired of the stupid Biden jokes and snarks.

And today Chris Matthews said he recently read Biden's book and referred to a couple of items in the book. All the arguments we've been making for a year, were finally being made on TV. It was like WE were sitting there on Hardball!

[WheelWalker]

5. I warned you about

being too attached to a particular outcome. This is a good result. No matter what, Joe is going to be front and center, influencing the next administration. We are so blessed. I'm about to burst.

[Muttocracy]

6. and that's the most important thing - Biden's ideas will be heard

whatever the job title.

[PatSeg]

8. And WE can see more of him

on TV!!! No more Biden-deficiency.

[WheelWalker]

12. I was just thinking that

myself. That is weird.

Yep. Cupcake every day.

7. Hey, Paige!

I'd feel good because it would show people the "real" Joe, and that despite all the "experts" here on DU, he really has a lot to bring to the table and to the ticket.

I would feel REALLY vindicated if Obama's numbers skyrocketed - or even just took a big bounce up, after the announcement.
THEN I could be like - I told you so!

But for Joe, I'd rather see him get the SOS slot. I think he'd be happier there - such a distinguished and deserving role with which to finish his career.

:pals: :hi:

[Muttocracy]

9. My new "plan" - Joe for VP this term, Sec. of State next term. nt

[gateley]

10. Yeah - I'm thinking that, too.

As a matter of fact it was you who got me considering from something you posted in a thread a few days ago. That would work well in so many ways.

Joe is Veep now to help the ticket
He gets his SOS dream in four years
The "new guy" gets ushered in and has four years preparing to take over for Obama

And everybody lives happily ever after. :loveya:

[Muttocracy]

11. all I care about right now is not McCain

it'll take years and years to undo the damage of BushCheney - it's going to be a huge effort for many leading Dems to take on, whatever their job titles.

Joe could also be U.N. Ambassador - I have Gore lined up for that for the next 4 years ;)

[whirlygigspin]

13. hi Steely!

so glad to see you, I'm trying not to get too excited, but I just checked intrade and Biden's numbers are up to 53, so that's compforting.

[medicswife]

14. Yeah, and my husband will owe me money too.

I bet him $50 after Joe dropped out that he'd be the VP pick.

[Debi]

15. Yeah ... hopefully we'd get to see the Senator one more time here in Iowa

:bounce:
