Obama/Biden
The jackasses have provided a target-rich-environment. Unfortunately, the heffalumps are piss-poor shooters.

Panicked acolytes cry out to their captain:
"captain obama, we're sinking in the polls and listing to port!"
The captain responds:
"We need more weight on the port side!"
Unbelievable.
It seems as if they're actively trying to lose.

May they succeed in their plan.
It would be great to see Obama go down in defeat.

This is a good thing for a variety of reasons, IMHO.

Joe Biden will step on his crank big time at some point over the next 3 months. He can't avoid it. His mouth has always been five steps ahead of his brain. All we need now is for McCain to not screw up his pick.

Why Biden was the Wrong Pick
Biden is the wrong pick for several reasons. The first and most important being that Obama walked right into the McCain trap. McCain has been hammering on his lack of experience especially in regards to foreign policy. So instead of sticking to his campaign slogan of "change" Obama instead chooses someone of McCain's choosing, not his own. If he was really the candidate of change he would have chosen Hagel, Sieblus, Kaine or Bayh. Instead he allowed McCain's rhetoric to make his choice for him
Second, Joe Biden with all of his experience, has a great big mouth. You can be guaranteed that he will say quite a few things between now and the General election that is going to cause Obama to have to pry his foot out of his mouth with a crowbar.
Third, Biden is on record stating that Obama is in no way ready to be POTUS. Sure it may just be the typical primary BS, but you can be sure McCain won't be picking Romney, for this reason, as well as many others.
Fourth - Biden is on record saying he would be honored if asked by McCain to be his running mate, and would do it.
Obama is going to have to go through the next few weeks with his own running mate the central figure in McCain's ads.
Obama just showed how truly inexperienced he is, and needs to get a few more years under his belt.
I also believe this supports my thoughts that McCain is going to choose Lieberman as his running mate. He is going to hit Obama on the fact that he really isn't the "change" candidate because he picked someone that has been aroung washington for too long. If McCain wants to cement his "maverick" status, he will do as he has done in the past, working in a bi-partisan manner, and reach across the aisle for his running mate. He has already laid the groundwork for having a Pro-choice VP. I think the far right conservatives are scared enough of Obama, and now Biden, that they won't stay home, and are going to vote for McCain regardless.
Hillary's supporters can now ensure a McCain win, justifying their vote saying they weren't voting for McCain they were voting for Lieberman. A McCain victory will ensure Hillary can run again in 2012. Waiting for 2016 is too much of a long shot.

I have three bets going with my husband. The first I won when Obama picked Biden, he thought he would pick Hillary.
The second is Hillary will walk out of the DNC as the Democratic Nominee for POTUS. My husband thinks I am nuts on this one
The Third is that McCain will pick Lieberman. The husband is starting to see my line of thinking on this one and is slowly trying to get out of this bet.

The DNC would be wise to pick Hillary at this point... she's the only one who could beat McCain with all the foul-ups that Obama has been making lately. He's a sinking ship, and the rats will be fleeing.

I am right there with you. I have been on the MSNBC US News message board all morning. If you ever get a chance go check in, it is pretty damn funny to read how some of these people justify their thoughts, and thought processes.

As a resident of this Liberal land Joey B calls home I can say this with all the sincerity I can muster: BWAAAHAAAHAAHAAA!
I think McCain can now pick Tim Pawlenty. With that choice (and the Biden choice by B-ho)McCain will have bought himself three quarters of the Hillary backers. They are pissed off and will make as much of a scene as possible inside, and out of that convention center. I also think Shrillary and Caligula are planning a delegate uprising. I just cannot see Bill sitting on this without opening his big mouth! That convention is about to get UGLY!
