Senator Joe Biden, whom many thought Barack Obama would pick as his running mate, insist he’s “not the guy.” [First Read]
“No Go.”

Der! During the Primary debates, Joe Biden said some racially insensitive comments that were patronizing to Obama. His name was in the mix to deflect from the real choice: Evan Bayh! Even Hillary was never that “foot in mouth!”

I thought Biden would be the attack VEEP I wanted.
maybe Secretary of State?
Charley
Really ? I’m getting the shit runs just thinking Sam Nunn.
Mr C
I think we’ll get an “October Surprise” in August and it will be Hillary Clinton.
CHURCHILL-Y
Love Biden:

Can’t wait to see him paired with Hillary.
As for Sam Nunn as Obama’s vp, it would be the most logical choice for him since Obama thinks we are second class Americans and since he wants to pander to southern Evangelicals. Sam Nunn is the right guy for him.
Obama Change(for the worst) we can believe in ’08

His campaign has done everything so far to be “in your face gays”, so Sam Nunn may be the homophobic icing on the cake. I don’t think his campaign manager knows what the fuck he is doing. Too much power, too soon. Must be confusing for them who have no experience or history of politics, but they have got the dollars so they don’t care.

Well, I can’t say I’d be disappointed if it wasn’t Biden–he’d be a nice Sec of State, maybe, but is a bit long in the tooth DC-wise to be a convincing change-agent.
Now I read that Tim Kaine, another VP front-runner, is an utter disaster too:
“Kaine ran a gay-baiting campaign for governor and is awful on GLBT issues. Not only does he oppose gay marriage (which, unfortunately most Democrats do), he opposes civil unions, too. He also supported an anti-gay marriage amendment to Virginia’s constitution. And not only did he support the Iraq War, but he was super-hawkish about it as well. In addition, he supported a repeal of the estate tax, reneged on his promise to enact universal pre-K, has a poor record on energy and global warming issues and has said he “strongly†supports anti-union, “right to work†laws.”

The October Surprise is the ‘W’ Movie. See the trailer here:

Biden is a moron who has more gaffes than Dan Quayle and would be perceived as Barack’s Puppet Master with his big Ego and bigger Mouth. Evan Bayh has National Security Experience and his name pronounced “Bi” neutralizes Barack Obama and he looks hot on the ticket. They’ve already shot the promotional video for Bayh; a Moderate two-term Governor and Senator from a Republican Swing State, Indiana that Barack desperately needs. This is like Bill Clinton’s Al Gore moment. Delaware is nothing! Biden OUT! Veep name revealed this Friday!

Between Nunn and Buhy, Nunn is the bigger homophobe so I’m pretty sure he’ll be Obama’s choice.
I say this because Obama has obviously been anti gay-equality every step of the way starting with Donnie McClurkin and then his constant definition of marriage as between one man and one woman couching it in the language of the Religionist-bigots. Obama has pandered to every religious nut-case group you can think of to boot.
This is the first election I’m sitting out in my entire life since reaching voting age some 45 years ago. I’m done voting for bigots, and when the choice is between two of them, I pick neither.
Mr C
And 2012 There will be MORE BIGOTS!
Maybe the only thing is you’ll like WHITE BIGOTS and that’s your choice.
Because if Hillary comes back in 2012 lets not forget she’s a BIGOT and a panderer also like all politicians. And alot of her supporters will forget the BIGOT thing and start screaming go Hillary.
Aren’t we Americans such Hypocrites…..LOL

I actually think Biden means well, he just has a very unfortunate tendency to speak before thinking. Definitely not VP material.

Caroline Kennedy for VP
tHAT ticket would have STAR POWER, and Clintons couldn’t say BOO about it.

Mark-
“Caroline Kennedy for VP
tHAT ticket would have STAR POWER, and Clintons couldn’t say BOO about it.”
This country doesn’t need STAR POWER it needs someone that knows what the fuck they are doing!!
So now Caroline Schlossberg writing a couple children’s books makes her qualified to be VP. WTF kind of reasoning is that? Let’s just save the money and move McCain in now with that idiotic ticket.
