   Yep. People kept saying Obama needed someone who could cover his weaknesses, and Biden can talk forever without a teleprompter.

   I’m still wondering if it is going to be the “popular” Mark Warner of Virginia that Democrats love.

   The Weekly Standard claims that the Obamunist has given up Virginia, but I wonder how he feels he is going to win the election without taking any red states.

   In any case, Virginia is NOT going to go blue, no matter how much Democrats dream that it will. Because of the large number of blacks in Central Virginia and Tidewater and the relatively liberal Northern Virginia, Virginia tends to go Democratic (for CONSERVATIVE Dems or at least those pretending to be conservative during elections) for governor and local elections.

   However, Virginia probably is still going to vote for McCain 54% or so in the general election when there is high turnout.

    I have another theory. Obama is choosing Biden so that he can block out the admiration for McCain having sons in the military out there fighting. Joe Biden’s sons (God bless them) are also serving.

    I don’t like to think it, but I have a hunch that’s why Obama chose him.

    For Obama Youth:

    One Sunday when Barack was sitting in church,
    Barack heard God say, “Slow down,
    Look around you.
    Now look to me.
    There is hope enough here
    to last a lifetime.”
    Barack smiled,
    tears rolling down his cheeks.
    Suddenly he knew for certain
    Hope would last long enough
    for him to make a difference.

    I’m still certain that it will be “Hillary”! That IS a winning ticket to any Rebublican’s dismay! Can you imagine? Two communists on the ticket and almost EVERYONE thinking that they are TRUE Democrats. If the country isn’t ruined in 4 years, I can imagine almost EVERYONE becoming a REPUBLICAN. I’m becoming convinced that America needs a FIFTH party, along with Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians and Green. Maybe a party called SupReb for Super Republican so there can’t be any confusion. Don’t get me wrong, I like McCain. My problem is his stance on illegals. I don’t understand it since HIS state doesn’t have much agriculture to deal with. The only way we should take illegals is if we take over Mexico, but THAT will never happen in this day and age (can anyone say Russia-Georgia?).

    Hmmmm… This is interesting:

    A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.

    Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit–just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver–for the health of the Democratic Party.

    “I filed this action at this time,” Berg stated, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.”.

    Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in today’s lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls “dual loyalties” due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.

    Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of “multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries” remains on the table.

    In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama’s mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, “apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight.” As Sen. Obama’s own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham–Obama’s mother–gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.

    Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama’s birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals–Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital–in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple “registry of birth” records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.

    Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama’s mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a “natural born” citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.

    Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed “natural born,” that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama’s registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name “Barry Soetoro” and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.

    The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama’s half-sister.

    NBC: Obama chooses Biden as running mate:

    “Biden’s voting record is in line with many Senate Democrats: He voted in 2003 to authorize President Bush to use military force in Iraq, and he also voted against the Bush tax cuts and against Republican Supreme Court nominees William Rehnquist, Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts and Samuel Alito.”

    Is there any real difference between Obama and Biden? There may be a slight difference on Iraq, but both seem very malleable on that subject depending on which way the political winds are blowing. If Biden becomes VP, he will be 73 in 8 years, which means Biden will be older than McCain if he runs for President.

    It looks like Obama simply chose someone who could help him counter McCain’s age and experience. I don’t see where Biden brings anything else to the ticket (other than an ego big enough to rival Obama’s.

    Depends on the wording of the poll, as well as the class and locale of those queried. Likewise, I don’t think it’s fighting for female rights in being pro-choice; rather, it’s fighting against women.

    On another note, I wonder if we’ll hear anything from his ghost writer, Neil Kinnock when Biden is out speechifying on the stump? I guess we’ll know the answer if Biden shows up for a speech in a loud, plaid jacket.
