This morning, Republican Senators are praising Barack's choice in picking Senator Biden as the Vice Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. Here are what some of them are saying...

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iloS1HpcfjHk6kQtkxbnxv1dP4xgD92O31GG0">Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel: U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel issued the following statement today following Senator Barack Obama's selection of Senator Joe Biden as the presumptive Democratic Vice Presidential nominee: "Joe Biden is the right partner for Barack Obama. His many years of distinguished service to America, his seasoned judgment and his vast experience in foreign policy and national security will match up well with the unique challenges of the 21st Century. An Obama-Biden ticket is a very impressive and strong team. Biden's selection is good news for Obama and America," Hagel said.

"I congratulate Senator Barack Obama on his selection of my friend, Senator Joe Biden, to be his vice-presidential running mate. I have enjoyed for many years the opportunity to work with Joe Biden to bring strong bipartisan support to United States foreign policy…"

Arlen Specter: Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter, a Republican who serves on the Judiciary Committee with Biden and often rides Amtrak with him to Washington, also offered praise. "No one on the Democratic side knows more about foreign policy than Sen. Biden," Specter said. "He's been an articulate spokesman on the subject. He also knows about domestic policy. He's been a leader on crime control."

[Catch22Dem]

1. Wow, that Hagel statement is about a half step shy of an endorsement

"good news for Obama and America" - Thank you, Senator. Actually, they were all pretty good. Of course, they've known him for a long time, so I doubt they're going to eviscerate him.

2. Correct

If Hagel's name were replaced with that of any democratic senator, we would comment that it is a very positive and strong comment from an ally.
