MSNBC has had wonderful coverage this evening. Olbermann, Todd and Fineman talking w/o interruption.

[Diane R]

This has been like three guys just chatting. I don't think they went to a break for about an hour. Just picking each other's brains. If you want a high quality discussion of the Biden selection turn on MSNBC.

[grasswire]

1. Patrick J. Buchanan must have gone nite-nite.

He's nearly always on hand.

[ErinBerin84]

3. I always picture him in the little scrooge nightie and cap.

[valerief]

2. Fineman: "Joe Biden is the anti-Dick Cheney." I guess Biden

won't be shooting anyone in the face. Well, it's a veep's choice.

[MarjorieG]

4. Wonderfully, complimentary, just as the GOP starting shooting over junk.

Really, both our guys want non-partisan solutions affecting the world. I love this.

[FrenchieCat]

5. After I shot off a letter to CNN with their Race Card playing.....

I turned to MSNBC to be pleasantly surprised......

[Unsane]

6. Agreed. It's been enjoyable.

7. Except for comparing Obama to Bush...

Obama has VERY strong knowledge of foreign affairs. The only reason people think otherwise is because he's young. He's wiser than many of the other older Dems in Congress. Bush was fucking clueless and did need Cheney. Obama doesn't need Biden on the issues themselves, but rather in order to gain confidence with certain parts of the electorate and to defend Obama against McNopoly's attacks as well as to launch some good ones himself.

14. On the experience question...

...I think *any* Democrat would have chosen Biden. If McSame is going to run a war campaign, the best thing any of our candidates can do or could have done is pick the guy that other countries turn to when they want a reality-driven approach to foreign policy from an American perspective. Over the past eight years, when foreign leaders wanted to talk to an adult, they go to Biden. Obama is smart to do the same.

[TTUBatfan2008]

23. I agree...

I'm just saying Obama does not need Biden in order to understand foreign affairs. Bush NEEDED Cheney. The jackass didn't even understand how things work here in Texas, never mind in the U.S. as a whole or the rest of the world. Obama is very wise for a "young" guy. I love Biden but I am sick of people trying to belittle Obama on this. But whatever helps get those voters into our corner, I'm fine with. And I believe Joe will be an excellent attack dog as well as a great campaigner. He has a ton of energy and can connect well with people.

[Muttocracy]

8. argh - I wish they had a web feed! nt

[ErinBerin84]

9. lol

Kelly O'Donnell is trying really hard right now with the Biden spin from the McCain camp. "He's gaffe prone! Does not represent change!"

[dkf]

16. They need to be looking at their own Gaffe machine. McCain sure has been gaffing overtime lately.

[Eurobabe]

10. I'm loving it.

All positive. Even saying that Biden has shown he can zip it. :rofl:

[FrenchieCat]

12. Hey 48percenter! You got your wish, hey?

Happy?

[Eurobabe]

19. Beaming. I can't wait for them to rip McChimpy apart.

:applause:

[FrenchieCat]

11. I love the stock footage that they are showing while they are talking...

They both look so good together....

[ErinBerin84]

13. haha

Chuck Todd just hung up on Shuster mid question.

[dkf]

15. Thanks!

Gosh this is political junkie heaven!

[Party Line]

17. Yeah. Good Stuff

Not much equivocating, like you expect from the regular evening newscasts.

[TexasObserver]

18. The key is Schuster, who is so solid with both his knowledge and his interviews.

Tweety would have been yapping nonstop, interrupting, and suggesting themes that are off the wall.

They really need to ship Tweety off.

[MiniMe]

20. Yes, thank God that Tweety isn't on

[ErinBerin84]

21. lol

Lynne Sweet is all "they broke the social contract that their supporters would be the first to know!" It sounds like she belongs here.

[mikiturner]

22. It's changed now

They are attacking him relentlessly.
