    Obama-Biden

    Just watched both speeches from Springfield today on the web. Happy days are here again--I feel it. Biden is going to bring a lot of energy and humor to Obama's campaign.

    The lack of specificity from Obama during the primary drove me nuts. From Joe Biden, I've already gotten more reasons for supporting Obama than I heard during the primary. These two guys seem like they will work together very well.

    I keep hearing what a brilliant guy Obama is. The Biden choice gives me concrete proof!

    I had the wonderful experience of caucusing for Hillary Clinton during a blizzard on February 5 in Wichita, Kansas. I see her great instruction at work in the Obama-Biden ticket: You need to connect with voters over the issues that affect real lives.

    This Hillary supporter is going to be happy to vote for the Obama-Biden ticket, and I'm looking forward to the Hillary Clinton Universal Health Care Bill becoming law under President Obama.
