But then again, somewhere out there was a printing company who made a lot of New England Patriots SuperBowl Winners 2008 shirts, too.

All the while, McCain is still trying to get used to those newfangled touch tone telephones. Those typewriters-with-TVs just confuse the heck out of him!

MSNBC has reported that Bayh and Kaine were told it isn't them. Interesting.

Yeah, Intrade had him over $30 earlier today; now he's down to under $2

Biden is up to $78+....looks like everyone is betting it's going to be him.

sleepyjeff · 08-22-2008, 08:38 PM

Biden is now at $88.

I wondered if, as it started to get close, I'd find myself caring about his selection despite myself.

Nope. It is still about #143 on the priority list of things I care about. Since McCain is so old, it moves up to #141 on his list. I care so little I haven't even bothered to look up who most of the people being mentioned as short list people are.

I'd care more about him announcing who his Secretary of HHS will be.

ABC news is reporting that a Secret Service detail has been sent to protect Joe Biden.

Uh-oh. i've always liked joe biden. could this mean actually voting for someone i like, instead of just for obama??

scaeagles · 08-22-2008, 09:14 PM

I actually think the secret service needs protection from Biden.

So, for the Obama camp, what will be the united response to the reminder of Joe Biden's embarrassments in '88 that killed his presidential bid that year? Or that, he may have been a worse student that Bush (C average, bottom decile in his law school class).

Not that there particularly significant, but considering the glee taken in bashing Bush with the same insignificancies, I'm sure it'll come up.

You can't argue he lacks political experience. You can argue that he lacks any other kind of experience. He finished his education in 1969, was elected to his first political office in 1970, staged a bit of an upset in a surprise senate run in 1973 and has held that office ever since.

Can't say I'm personally much familiar with him. Most of my awareness of him is from the Alito and Roberts hearings where he came off as the most pompous ass of a large group of pompous asses.

Biden is also currently running for re-election to his Senate seat. I assume he'll give that up (but he's not required to, is he?), but that would give Deleware only a couple months to rally behind a replacement Dem.
