tedcohen hillary's statement on the biden pick shows it once again to be all about her.
she refers to "my friend and colleague" in the first five words of her statement.
it's her way of saying "i'm still in the game."
so pathetic.

Okay, Joe. You're finally on the national stage for the White House in November. Let's see what you can do. ...
Special Open Thread #2
Daily Kos —
... The Washington Post blog now has the Biden selection up, though they still attribute the news only to "a Democratic source." Most news agencies seem to have singled out Biden as much for the elimination of other figures seen as candidates by the media. In any case, the Post blog has good things to say about Biden's short-lived presidential run this cycle. ...

... Today, WaPo is reporting that Barack Obama has chosen Senator Joseph Biden. I like Joe Biden. He isn't perfect but then again no one is. He is an excellent democrat who admitted his early support for the war in Iraq was misguided. He has been a strong critic of the Bush Administration and he is not afraid to speak his mind. Bill has a strong post on Biden - ...

The Delaware senator tapped as Obama’s running mate has just announced that he’s giving away to charity campaign contributions from participants in the Scruggs scandal, no doubt preparing for scrutiny of a set of connections that have already gotten considerable attention in the blogosphere [ABA Journal, NMC @ Folo, YallPolitics, Lattman @ WSJ law blog, Rossmiller, our own mention] Lotus @ Folo wonders if the McCain camp will risk bringing up Scruggsiana given their own candidate’s former ...

By J. Thomas Duffy No doubt, the ratings for those late night infomercials took a big hit. Billy Mays' wallet will be a little lighter this week. I'll be interested to hear what the strategy of dropping the news at around 1AM was (maybe, we were on target with our post yesterday). Obama goes pragmatic and picks the Senator from Delaware, Joe Biden. Good a choice as any, and infinitely better than one. The MSM certainly added to the frenzy of yesterday, desperately picking over the limited, sparse clues (even noting the pronouns Obama was ...
Obama-Biden -- Just What Most Republicans Would Have Picked
Rhymes With Right —
To give maximum advantage to the GOP . Barack Obama has chosen Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate, a pick designed to shore up the Illinois senator's foreign policy credentials in advance of the November election against John McCain. Biden's selection was confirmed by a Democratic source after an evening of speculation that centered on the Delaware senator when it was reported that the other top contenders were no longer under consideration. Biden had been considered the frontrunner for the job in recent weeks -- a position confirmed by a last-minute, unscheduled trip last weekend to meet with the ...

Obama picks Biden Biden and Obama Back in February I had a contest to see who could give me a reasonable argument for a VP candidate. Kyle won the contest and I published his comment . We had many candidates including Senator Joe Biden. I didn’t think that Joe Biden would be a good pick at the time because he didn’t bring a lot including the very small state of Delaware. But after talking with Princeton political guru Melissa Harris-Lacewell, I became more of a Biden supporter. Today, WaPo is reporting that Barack Obama has chosen Senator Joseph Biden. I like Joe Biden. He isn’t perfect but then again no one is. He is an excellent democrat ...
