Delaware Senator Joe Biden will be Barack Obama's running mate. That's all we need, another senator. No Governors (the Executive Branch remember???) yet…
For the first time in a long time, both of the presidential candidates are senators.
More later on Biden, no doubt selected for his foreign policy expertise…
Biden on Turkey:
SENATORS BIDEN, BOXER, MENENDEZ FORCE BUSH ADMINISTRATION TO DISTANCE UNITED STATES FROM TURKEY’S GENOCIDE DENIAL POLICY (July 29, 2008)
“Chairman Biden, and Senators Boxer, Menendez, and Ben Cardin (all Democrats) spoke forcefully about the necessity for proper U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide…”
It's too early to tell now what. And I for one, am not a one issue voter. As a Libertarian, I would defend the rights of a Hindu if it's a matter of choosing between siding with a Muslim who wants to sacrifice a cow in public versus the Hindu's desire to not be subjected to seeing it happen on his street. And similarly, I would vote for a Greek-American versus his Turkish counterpart, if the Greek one tends to favor more of the issues and the platform I care for.
I even like Biden, especially after he got all those hair plugs . . .
… but Biden comes across as an arrogant SOB whenever I've seen him chair his committee and ask questions of witnesses whose very presence he dislikes, obviously always playing to the cameras . . . he's not someone who takes a back seat very easily . . . and he may overshadow the ticket . . .
Who's Hillary? . . . Now it's McCain's turn . . . maybe he'll pick a female . . .
