I've been in Canada, so didn't get the word.

Seems like a pretty solid (savy,wise,etc) choice.
 And what has he done to be savvy and wise? :dunno:

Tried to pass off the works of other people as his own? :rofl:

Here's a link to the Washington Post story--Biden saying Obama is "Not ready for prime time" and that "I would be honored to run with or against John McCain."

Obama gives a great speech when he reads the words of others on the TelePrompter.

Biden simply passes off the words of others as his own. :sarcasm:  :rofl:

Obama couldn't have done worse--the plagiarism issue that knocked Biden out of the 1988 election will dog him for the rest of his political life--proof yet again that Obama is not ready for prime time.

Of the 3 he had it dwindled down to I though that was a good choice. The other seemed more obscure and less well known . Plus I thought, the thought was that he could help them carry Pennsylvania.

Also...

Now when McCain sez I'm an old senator....

The Biden and Obama team can say, "check we've got of those here too".  :laugh:

All the "great" ones (songwriters,speech guys, artists) do that. If you're NOT doing that. You're not doing it right. IMO

Doesn't seem to have hurt him too bad considering he's still a senator 20 years later. :rofl:

Some of the pundits are claiming that Obama took the "safe" route--because of his former Presidential campaigns, all the negative material is already out in the open--"old news". :p  :rofl:

If Edwards hadn't self-imploded, he is the one I would have been most concerned about--a Southerner (helps Obama in Southern states), a liberal to the right of Obama (but then, EVERYBODY is right of Obama :sarcasm: ), and a "Pretty Boy" (helps with the female vote, unless they get jealous of his hair.) :sarcasm:

 Try stealing someone elses work, and you'll be hit with a lawsuit RIGHT NOW.  Recall John Lennon's "My Sweet Lord" infringement on the tune of "He's so fine"?  Cost him millions.

Hard to be a leader and decision maker if you don't have original thoughts.  If you DO use someone else's material, you should give attribution for it.

I would agree with most of that yes. There is and art to it and you do have to be careful, in the way you do it.

But I would stand by the assertion that you try and emulate success and established greatness.  And I don't see that as a bad thing for a so called leader to do.

Oh and I think it was the one they called Ringo that wrote/plagurized that one.  :;):

From the reliably libbie state of Delaware?  Just HOW BAD a Senator would you have to be to have a Democrat lose there?  

Here's a brief background from Slate magazine, via today's issue of RealClearPolitics.  nullMy Webpage

If a proven and self-admitted plagiarizer, resume inflator, and liar doesn't bother voters--perhaps they DO have a home in the Democrat Party! :rofl:

Both wrong--It was George Harrison.

 Yes, we can and should learn from history--but we should give attribution where deserved, instead of trying to take credit for ourselves.

Someone that would do that is lying to you.  See the signature line at the bottom of my post.

I dont think the VP candiate makes much of a difference on if you are going to vote for the person or not... There is no way he could of picked Hilary after they both slammed each other so much...McCain's party would of took advantage of that....

With that said, I like the pick and still believe Obama will be the next president... :clap:

^ Tell us Calcutta...what is it that you like about him?

What are the policies that you believe he will implement that will be better for this country in the near future and in the long term?

I have yet to hear a supporter of Obama state specific reasons as to why?  Please share with us...
