In reply to the discussion: Biden has proven to be a poor choice for VP [View all]Max4Congress
(35 posts)82. Well Sarah!
Well Sarah, you may want to restrict your comments to the Fox News blogs. Joe Biden is light years ahead of Dick Dr. Death Cheney, who ran the Bush administration from the underground bunkers. He pays attention to his immediate family, he cares for the general population and has added an important dimension to the Obama administration. Perhaps you would be better off staying out of this forum.

I disagree. Joe Biden is an excellent person but he also understands his role as VP.

mccain wasn't a "gimme" only in the sense that the entire general election was a "gimme"

He was no worse than chimpy. He lost because he was up against a much better candidate.

You apparently don't realize that it was BIDEN who urged OBAMA to run in the first place?

President Obama has already asked Biden to run with him in 2012 and Joe said: YES.
