So the one you wanted, Obama didn't choose for his VP?
Tough. It wasn't your choice. The whining was predictable. It's still as ridiculous and petty and pathetic.

Joe Biden brings both positives and negatives to the ticket. Anyone else would have done the same. I believe Biden's positives outweigh his negatives. He's a good communicator, a real attack dog and brings relevant experience to the ticket.

Go Obama/Biden.

1. And rubbing your fellow Democrats' noses in it helps so much.
There's the team spirit that wins us election after election.

10. Not to rehash, but you missed the drama
We have already seen some nasty nasty posts about how Obama was trying to make embarrass a certain former candidate.

2. I wanted Clark or Feingold.
But Biden's a solid choice I can get behind. I'd have had problems with Clinton or Bayh.

3. What's the point of this thread?
Get with the program - celebrate.

Stop dividing and get out there and conquer.

9. sorry, dear. I'm not delusional. I have no expectations that this thread
will stop whiners from whining and just what rational discussion are you talking about. Grab a clue. There isn't much of that here.

4. Go Obama/Biden!
As soon as the rest of us stop whining (no wonder the Repubs keep accusing us of that), we can get on with the task of electing Obama as our next president!

Just glad it wasn't Pelosi.

6. I wanted Clark, but I'm far from whining. Biden, Sebelius, Richardson or Edwards
were all fine choices for me and I would have voted for him. HRC was the only one that wasn't fine, but I still would have worked hard to see him win.

The Veep is no big deal really for me as long as he's president and he chooses the best candidate for himself. If Biden is that man, and no one can deny he's an amazing man, then so be it and I can't wait to see them in the White House.

11. Agreed, and thanks for posting.
This crazy welfare-loving Kucinich fan is more than satisfied with the ticket. It's a winner.

Progress starts with beating McSame.

15. Exactly!
He was Obama's first pick, that is what counts!

16. What, exactly, do you expect Obama and Biden to accomplish at an absolute minimum?
If they don't actually meet that standard, will your own disappointment also count as "whining"?

17. I expect them to run a smart, tough campaign against McCain
and the MSM. Whether they win or lose, that's all I ask. And no, I won't be whining. Sorry to dissapoint you.

18. I meant to ask you what you expect from their Administration.
What would they have to do, or not do, to disappoint you?
