PLEASED
I got my text message when I woke up at 3 this morning.
It is Biden.
I am very pleased.
Yesterday I read that " he is a guy who keeps grinning while he is slugging you".
Just what we need. A sense of humor. Slugging. And some really good experience in the shotgun seat.
Did I say that I was very pleased?
Obama Chooses Biden as Running Mate
Love the poster.
I think that it is a game changer. Biden has real depth where Obama may (notice I say 'may') not. He is a humble man. He is 99th out of a hundred Senators in personal net worth. He hasn't made money off his politics. None.
And he is very white. People will like that. Believe me. Delaware is a border state and he has to have a lot of appeal to the white blue collar.
He is a pro-abortion Catholic. You can't beat that.
And he is from Scranton, PA. Just a stone's throw from my birthplace in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
He is also as 'presumptious' as Obama. He ran for the Senate when he was 29!
It's funny. Even David Brooks, the annoying conservative writer of the NYT, had a favorable column on Biden yesterday. He hoped Biden was the pick. I like this because it assumes that Obama will be President.
Read it!
Brooks does a wonderful piece of writing and tells many Biden anecdotes, his personal history. Quite a guy.
