17. May I borrow your pick of the BEST TEAM for America?

You echo my thoughts exactly!

What a fine-looking group of intelligent, caring people. We are so fortunate in our new President and Vice President, and I personally know a LOT of folks who are going to crossover vote for this ticket from Independents and Republicans.

[givemebackmycountry]

12. Joe has a GREAT smile - Michelle and Jill look smart and stylish...

I'M FEELING GREAT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN A HOUR OR SO!

Tens of thousands gathered in Springfield, Illinois to cheer our guys on.

WHAT A WONDERFUL SATURDAY AFTERNOON!

The last thing I thought I would be doing on a Saturday afternoon, the first day without rain here in central Florida since Monday is watching MSNBC all day.

I ain't going anywhere.
I can't wait to see this.

[City Lights]

13. Great pics! I can't wait for later!

40 minutes to go...:bounce:

[RayOfHope]

15. Michelle is beyond gorgeous n/t

[FrenchieCat]

16. Those little grandaughters and Obama's kids looking like perfect

age appropriate playmates.

This election is going to Rock!

[Chloroplast]

18. The future President and Vice President of America with their strong, beautiful, accomplished wives.

Gotta love it.

[Muttocracy]

23. and both of them speak their minds to their husbands - which is a good thing! :)

[jaxx]

19. Biden looks so happy.

This is going to be a great campaign......and win!

[northofdenali]

20. I'm extremely happy with this winning ticket!

His Senate website has some good info for those who may not be familiar with his 30 years of service at http://biden.senate.gov/

His record is very, very good for us "working not-quite-middle-class" types!

I have lots of relatives in Delaware, many of whom cross party lines to vote for Joe for Senate - and now, probably for the Obama/Biden ticket for Pres/VP!! Yeeeeeeeehaw, what a great pick!!!!

21. Great Pics

Barack looks great as usual - - relaxed, confident. Biden has a WINNING smile, doesn't he? Michelle and Jill look very attractive and comfortable. Love the kids in the pic, too.

And Reggie Love went to my school - - glad to see him get a shoutout. :-)

[Muttocracy]

24. I wish Biden's mom and Obama's mom and grandmother could be there
