Title: Obama Veep [SPOILERS]

The smoking gun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_biden).

Quote
On August 22, 2008, ABC News reported that the Secret Service had "dispatched a protective detail to assume the immediate protection" of Biden and that "in all likelihood, [...] Biden has been officially notified that" he had been selected by presumptive Democratic nominee for president Barack Obama to be his running mate.

Being reported on AP as 'Breaking News'.

That would make Biden an inadequate white male, one presumes.

The Clintonista's will make all the right noises, and then proceed to attempt to scuttle the ship.

WTF? Then what if he picks a Sec of State with the name like Laden. So it would be Obama Biden Laden. If there wasn't confusion before there sure will be now.

So do advisers look at *feces* like this?

I'm going to say it's a good move, only because the (left)Wingnuts over at Huffpo seem to think it's terrible.

Just dont understand the appeal of "hope and change" campaign by picking some grizzled long term washington insider, especially one so tied to banking and credit lobbyists.

I do understand the political motivation behind why picking him makes sense to counter a lot of the McCain "experience" things though....

What on earth might be the criteria for you to classify someone as a left wingnut?   [sm_shock]

Go to Huffpo and start reading the comments.

That should give you a pretty good idea....
