Here's a consideration too. Maybe she told him right off the bat that she wasn't interested. She'd much rather Obama lose so she could be a contender in '12.

In fact I think allot of them told Barry, "No Way" (except maybe suck up Kaine). It seemed, especially with the botched text messaging, that they couldn't find anyone till the last moment.

Who wants to get into a leaky canoe?

With no oars.

for Obama and they aren't even pretending to be impartial in their election coverage.

 But--they forgot one thing. The majority of American voters don't like unfairness, they distrust the mainstream media, and they resent the media trying to influence the election. There will be a backlash--the msm is actually hurting Obama's chances.

Joe Biden is chock full of contoversial negatives; not to mention that he has the most sh*t eating grin you've ever seen in your life.  That's what I could never get about people who were serious with the George W. Bush being some fascist evil genius criminal President mastermind thing - when he smiles, you can just tell that he's a man that, although not terribly deep, is crystal clear in his intentions.  He says what he means and he means what he says, popularity or fame be dammed. 

What no one is really talking about is how much George W. Bush's "War on Terror" (U.S. Military Personell, including the NYT's and MoveOn.org's favorite, "General Betrayus"...please take a bow, you all have earned it) has seriously kicked some Islamic exremist ass.  Iraq is starting to become a real country...with a HUGE surplus.  Can someone tell me, is America going to be repaid in any way for her efforts?  Iraq should use 50 billion of their oil surplus for infrastructure and police and military, and schools, and use the other 30 billion to pay back America.  Let's keep it real. 

Rock on everyone on this website!!  You all have kept me sane for the last 3 years.  It's good to know that there are real Americans out there still, that understand the nature of the reality.  Liberalism, as a whole, is an ideology based upon the idea of satisfying every emotional desire and condition; whereas conservatism is an ideology focused on individual obligation, responsibility and control over human emotions, in favor of choosing a course of action that is more pragmatic and/or that is morally just. 

My family never talked politics when I was growing up.  I swear, if I had any politcal predisposition at all, it was heavily democratic.  And yet, me being the lone political science major in my family, I also happen to be the only conservative.  Funny how that works out.  The sad part is, most of my family believes that they are democrats because they are "middle class".  My father, a Vietnam Veteran with 2 Purple Hearts, who holds an M.A. in Public Policy, thinks that "republicans lowered oil and gas prices recently for the election". 

You can't argue with that type of logic; it's a mindset, not a logical set of conclusions.  I feel hopeless sometimes when I hear things like that.  But I know that I can break through, if I just keep on hammering home reality and truth.  9/11 woke almost everyone up, but our prosperity and our way of life has put most of us back to sleep again.  We don't need to live in a constant state of fear, but instead in a constant state of awareness and preparedness.  America is the light of the world, and it's ours. 

What are we going to do with it?

Misogny and sexism was Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews viciously (and in some instances to the point of spittling at the camera) attacking Hillary for have voted "yes" for the Iraq War, and then having nothing but glowing praise for a fellow Senator having voted exactly the same.  

I wonder if Hillary supporters such as James Carville, Paul Begala, or Geraldine Ferraro would ever consider sitting down with those two now;  one of the beautiful thing about this story is Keith and Chrissie's bordering-on-weird obsessive love for their man has very much turned off half of what little audience they had.  I recently saw an article that the Huffington Post (!) had on it's front page that said Fox News' ratings as this election season starts are going through the roof, while MSNBC languishes in 3rd, INCLUDING the 25-30 demographic that Olbermann cares about because it's the only one he comes within a mile of O'Reilly.  Obama/Biden/Matthews/Olbermann finished in 2009?  Oh, happy day.

Partners, you're becoming too cerebral. The main question here is:

Does Ludicrous do another song about Joe and does Joe dance and sing in the video?

I caught this in an AP release from a "Clinton delegate":

Susan Castner, a Clinton delegate from Portland, Ore., said she sees some of Clinton's qualities in Biden. She likes his experience, especially on foreign policy.

"It really kind of humanizes Barack Obama," Castner said. "He has this air of perfection, and Joe Biden is more down to earth."

There you have it - Biden was picked to give the Messiah a more human appeal, otherwise He is too "perfect".

Where is my bucking farf bag............
