Better Than Biden

"Make no mistake about this. Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America and quite frankly it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight."

--Joe Biden, at a rally in Nashua, New Hampshire, today, on Obama's running mate pick

"Barack Obama’s most important decision of this election and Biden - the candidate he selects - suggests himself that he wasn’t the right man for the job and that Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice. Biden certainly has a credible viewpoint on this."

-- McCain spokesman Ben Porritt

Picture Perfect Pick!

In a bold announcement that deflated the Democratic Party post-convention sail the day after the Obamessiah's ascension, Senator John McCain managed to re-energize the Republican Party by choosing Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.

This is the perfect pick on a number of levels. Palin is a popular governor of a prosperous state. She has more executive experience as mayor and governor than Obama has ever had as "community organizer," state senator and U.S. Senator.

Palin is a true conservative: pro-life - Palin chose to have a child with Down's Syndrome knowing the challenges that accompany such a choice, pro-business, pro-market, pro-freedom and an evangelical Christian to boot. She is a member of the National Rifle Association and favors drilling in the ANWAR. Her oldest son is in the military and is about to be deployed on September 11.

Palin preempts Obama's choice of Biden.

Palin is a fresh, dynamic face, Biden is a 36-year Washington insider.

Palin has exective experience as governor, Biden has been an integral part of the Democratic Old Boys' Network for close to four decades.

Palin is telegenic, dynamic and a strong presence, Biden has hair plugs.

I would love to see Biden try his pitbull act on Palin. He won't have a prayer in the vice presidential debates.

Say goodbye to your post-convention bounce, Obama.

Doom

Clinton delegates back Obama, but poll show concern

Delegates to the Democratic National Convention arrive in Denver having largely put aside the deep divisions of the primary fight between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, although some hold lingering concerns about Obama's level of experience, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll.

More than half of the delegates that Clinton won in the primaries now say they are enthusiastic supporters of Obama, and they also believe he will win the presidential election in November, the poll found. Three in 10 say they support Obama but have reservations about him or they support him only because he is the party's nominee. Five percent say they do not support him yet.

The poll, which was taken before Obama selected Senator Joseph Biden Jr. of Delaware as his running mate, also suggests that Clinton's 1,640 pledged delegates are evenly split over whom they plan to vote for on the floor of the convention during the roll call vote on Wednesday evening.

There will be blood. The PUMAs are on the prowl, though. Obama didn't ingratiate himself any by dissing Hillary yet again when he picked Joe "The Mouth" Biden to be his running mate.

Hell than no fury, Barry.
