Joe Biden as Vice President? It works For Me

  By now all of you who keep up with politics have heard many different views on Obama's selection as Vice President, so I am not going there myself. I will note however, after Googling for info on Biden, that Obama's choice could not have been better.

  Joe Biden speaks his mind and he doesn't pull punches, which the Democratic Party needs near the top of its leadership list. It would also seem that Senator Biden does not like Republicans, which is a great thing!

   Maybe now Senator Biden and the Democrats can educate Mr. POW and the rest of the country on why McCain and the Republicans should no longer be allowed into the White House.

 Joe Biden in action!

Let the games begin.

Telecom Lobbyist Working For McCain's Campaign? 60

Sacramento Bee

Watchdog groups charge that McCain has been too cozy with the phone giants. Executives of the consolidated Bells, the head of their trade group and their present and former lobbyists have raised as much as $4.25 million for McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, data from the nonprofit groups Public Citizen and Campaign Money Watch show.

More than 60 present and former telecom lobbyists work for McCain's campaign as staffers and volunteers, some in high-echelon posts while on leave from their firms.
