    Say It Ain't So O !

    Joe Biden? Now there's some real change. Our old insider white guy is better than yours ! Of all the possible choices for VP we come up with this retread windbag! This choice screams desperation and accomplishes nothing. There is a reason Mr. Biden has been an unsuccessful presidential candidate for twenty years... nobody likes him! Just read the pathetically weak comments feigning excitement over babbling Biden, sad. Unfortunately the choice had to be made at possibly the worst point of the campaign. Recent days have not been kind to Sen. Obama but you have these bad patches in a campaign. The declining poll numbers, the ill-timed vacation, the poor performance at the "debate", the less than stellar handling of Georgia, the brother in a crate and the embarrassing tele-prompter revelation all came back to back. I know it's August but let's not get so desperate yet. As for Sen. Biden, just get someone who can keep a muzzle on Mr. IQ. All we need are more "clean and articulate" and "7-11" comments. And for god sake, have someone around to reign him in when he goes into those incoherent,condescending, stream of consciousness ramblings. Help!!
