I was a little bit worried about tonight’s debate after Governor Palin’s less than fantastic showing with Katie Couric, but I think she did very well tonight. It was a particularly impressive performance given the fact that the moderator is an Obama-supporter who is writing a book about Obama to be released in January. Did anyone else watching the raw [...]

There are apparently some rumors going around that Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol is about to get married to Levi Johnston after she turns 18 in October. This doesn’t seem to have really hit the mainstream media yet, but it does make sense to do this sooner rather than later… There is already some urgency to the [...]

Earlier this week in Missouri, Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden urged a paraplegic State Senator to stand up and be recognized. “Chuck, stand up, let the people see you,” Biden yelled at Senator Chuck Graham, before realizing that Graham uses a wheelchair. “Oh, God love ya,” Biden said. “What am I talking about?” He followed that one [...]

Another day, another amusingly weird ‘moment’ from Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Biden. This time, someone in the crowd applauds Obama for picking Biden over Hillary Clinton… and instead of brushing off the comment or saying he respects Senator Clinton, Biden goes a step further. “Make no mistake about this,” Biden responded. “Hillary Clinton is as [...]

According to Gallup polling, the Biden announcement has generated practically no bounce for Obama’s campaign. That’s unusual, since a candidate normally picks up a few points when he adds a Vice-President to the ticket… Typically, presidential candidates have gotten a bump in the polls after naming their vice presidential running mate. Obama apparently received no [...]

Here is an amusing little item from the Washington Post’s article “The Case Against Joe Biden” in which an odd and off-putting comment from Biden is recalled… One of the most overlooked episodes during the 1987 collapse of Biden’s campaign was a snippet of footage captured by C-Span in which the Delaware senator, in response to [...]

Here are a few reactions from DailyKos commenters, discussing Barack Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as the Democratic vice-presidential nominee… ———— I wanted Clark too, and I have to admit I’m pretty let down that it’s Biden. But I’ve known for some time that it wouldn’t be my guy. ———— Ho hum. Not inspired. Hair plugs and plagerism. I will be interested [...]

Well, that was pretty fast! The McCain campaign has a brand new television ad that uses Joe Biden’s own comments against him. During the campaign, Biden hit Obama for his lack of experience. And during the 2004 race, Biden was one of those urging Senator Kerry to offer John McCain the VP [...]

Barack Obama picked Joe Biden to be his running mate this morning. You couldn’t ask for a much better choice, really. A white guy who has been in the Senate for over 35 years. A Washington insider who has run twice for President and failed both times. Represents Delaware - a [...]

In a text message sent out to journalists all over the world just minutes ago, Barack Obama announced that he has officially selected Delaware Senator Joe Biden as his running mate. Biden will make his first major appearance on behalf of the ticket today at 3pm in Illinois. Biden will no doubt lend an air of [...]
