    Great choice, because...

    1) he voted for the Iraq war. This is not bad like when Hillary did. Get it?

    2) He voted for the bankruptcy revision that was designed by the credit card companies to help themselves at the expense of the little guy. How Democratic (big D) can you get?

    3) He helped enact the Biden Law. You've heard of it right? Also, many other sterling statutes during his 35+ years in the Senate.

    4) He has vast executive experience, just like Obama.

    5) He comes highly recommended. Remember who said he has a higher IQ than a random voter asking him a question?

    6) Finally, he's change we can believe in.
