The Winning Ticket(?)

So we’ve got Obama and Biden running on the ticket in November. Initially I was a little unsteady about this decision. Christy and I were in Scranton flipping channels Friday night when we saw that the Secret Service had been dispatched to Biden’s home which pretty much cleared up any remaining doubt regarding who Obama’s VP candidate was going to be. Biden is the senior senator from Delaware and yes, I have voted for him each and every time and most likely will continue doing so.I’ve read here and there that some voters are calling into question his tact or lack there-of and also his position on encryption, net neutrality, file sharing, the RIAA, etc. I sincerely hope that those who have raised those concerns realize that Biden is running as the VICE-presidential candidate and he will not be making policy or signing anything into law. And if you’re chief concern is whether or not your torrents will be downloading as fast as they can without interference from an ISP, perhaps you should pick up a newspaper once and a while and check out what else is going on outside of your parents’ basement, k?
I think Biden makes up a substantial amount of what Obama was missing, foreign policy experience. Though having a president who is a little naive in the ways of foreign policy might not be bad thing. Look what our foreign policy “expertise” has gotten us in the last 8 years?
I’ve also read that some voters are concerned about how well Obama speaks. Eight years of Dubya’s flawless annunciation and people are suspect of someone who can correctly pronounce the words America and nuclear. ’nuff said.
I think these two are a good pair and should give McBush and whomever he chooses as his sideshow goon a really good run. We’ll see how the next few months shape up.
