I am not totally sure I've heard all your objections to Biden. But The Biden-Lugar bill is a really sensible piece of legislation, aimed at a part of the world our government seems to misunderstand and/or exploit for political gain. <BR/><BR/>Also, he equipped himself very well in the presidential debates, and would be a good attack dog in the vice-presidential debate. He's feisty and he's smart on policy.<BR/><BR/>Now, I realize he has a tendency to say stupid things in other contexts, is the consummate inside the beltwayer, brings no swing state into play, and couldn't manage to make much a dent in Iowa and New Hampshire, but Bayh is guilty of the same poor judgment Obama says McCain showed with Iraq. Why should he get a pass? I think Bayh can bring Indiana into the fold, but I think he's a total douchebag whose political position was bestowed on him. I've had enough of those guys. <BR/><BR/>Kaine might end up proving himself, I don't know, but I don't want the Lieutenant Governor (who's a Republican) taking over Virginia, when things are finally looking up there, and you know my feelings about Kaine being a distant third to Webb and Warner in the Virginia hierarchy. He's faced total legislative gridlock in Richmond, and doesn't bring the state into play. <BR/><BR/>As for Sebelius, I buy that the irrational Hillary foot-soldiers will tear the party asunder if she's picked. <BR/><BR/>In the end, this is a poverty of choices and McCain will win. I'm fine with Biden. I would've preferred Dodd.cold4thestreetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208475999502706651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307015567845695310.post-63012298269010585792008-08-20T12:52:00.000-07:002008-08-20T12:52:00.000-07:00it took a while for me to decipher who's who, but ...it took a while for me to decipher who's who, but birch II is still alive, my friend. and not that much older than mccain. i love that birch II supported the ERA. melts my cold, ossified heart.<BR/><BR/>what's your beef with birch III? still better than biden, no? but i'm not even going to pretend i know anything about bayh except the fact he's from indiana. <BR/><BR/>y'know, my friend's brother is named burch (sic) and i always thought it was weird. white people indeed.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965696363914643525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307015567845695310.post-3736150574029094622008-08-20T12:11:00.000-07:002008-08-20T12:11:00.000-07:00hey, go read the wikipedia page on birch bayh, eva...hey, go read the wikipedia page on birch bayh, evan's father. wish homeboy should be reanimated and slated for number two. his son is a big douche.cold4thestreetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208475999502706651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307015567845695310.post-63109010598799548882008-08-20T09:13:00.000-07:002008-08-20T09:13:00.000-07:00beau kneaus?ay-eau!beau kneaus?<BR/><BR/>ay-eau!Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965696363914643525noreply@blogger.com
