Hillary would have been a lightnin' rod for the right, Shar-roonA

Yeahhhh, you're right...

and too of the story...

Huh?

Biden is safe, has real good blue collar support (think the western part of your state here) and will get under McCain's skin...

It all sounds good.... as long as Biden's big mouth doesn't screw it up.

As for pdq's thinkin' that McCain should pick a "uniter", it way too late for that kind of shift in strategy... MccIan's people have allready decided that their only chance to win is to divide, much the way Bush has done...

Agreed. The idea is to unite to fight against Dubya-McCain't politics.

Good choice... Okay, not great, but good...

Not sure that there WAS a "great" choice. Still wish he would've picked a woman, but as you say Obama needs blue-collar support, and there are a lot of red necks beneath some of those blue collars.
