Meh, not from the south...

He's going to have some problems.

It's been shown that it's very important to carry the south.

I think he should have picked Wesley Clark had Clark had any interest in the veep spot.

Eh, Clark would have brought a myriad of soft spots too. I was hoping he'd pick a governor. Richardson was my top pick as well, but there were a couple of govs that would have brought a lot to the table. I was counting on his veep pick to get me fired up for the election finally. Now, I'm still just.... meh.

Maybe I'm just slow, but what does "Meh" mean? Lol.

As a hardcore McCain supporter and DC politico, it's proof that there is a God for all of those who had any doubts.

Not really a surprise. Biden's kind of an interesting guy. If you've ever read "What It Takes," which tracked the 1988 Presidential Campaign, it does a good job of summarizing Biden's background. He's a pretty smart guy with a bit of a temper, and as someone who's anti-Obama, I just wonder how many votes he'll be able to pull.

Well, let me clarify that I don't think it in any way clears the path for McCain, I still think he's got a tough road ahead and is most likely not going to win. I think he's a poor, poor candidate and not a bright selection on the GOP's behalf. And I personally staunchly oppose following up the last two GOP terms with another one, thus allowing all the entrenched politicos to likely stay where they are and keep performing at their sub-standard levels. I just wish I could get more excited about the ticket I will undoubtedly be voting for if for nothing else than the beat-out-the-DC-rug-to-dislodge-the-dustmites-that-are-buried-too-deep-in-the-nap factor.

Get your own thread.

I'm voting for Obama because McCain would just jack up fuel prices more, making me cost more, making people eat less of me. Somebody tried to send a me with a gay stripper inside to McCain but they didn't know what house to send it to, so I just went to Larry Craig instead.
