Biden has too much "aural text" of things he has said over his near 40-year tenure in the Senate.
I don't think he works for a position like VP.
whoop, accidentally clicked post.
What I was going to say was I would like to see him pick Rendell. It would put PA out of reach for McCain and would be someone who can reach people that Obama can't (Appalachia.)
Rendell took himself out of contention....
But we'll soon see what Obama Appalachian plan is, if any!
Rendell has taken himself out of contention but having worked in PA politics for the last few years I can say with a certain amount of confidence that the man is prone to changing his mind.
If Obama goes and says to Rendell that the party and the country need him, then how can Ed say no?
If you went back a few months I actually thought that Spitzer would have been a great choice, but I guess that looks terrible in hindsight
I also had high hopes for Spitzer. I thought first reform and innovation in NY and then either AG sometime late in the 2012-2016 term or VP in 2012 and then a successful run for president in 2016. He was clearly going places and then...
Spitzer's fall from grace certainly weakened our party. It also has served as an important reminder of holding to our principles.
probably would've cost Obama votes in New York even before his scandal. His popularity plummeted from day one. The drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants didn't go over well, even with many Democrats.
I almost feel like the scandal was his route out. When the scandal broke, the first thing I heard from a friend was "Thank God, I thought we'd be stuck with his guy for three more years"
Paterson's a gem.
