I came to vote in the poll.
I figure a man like Biden who has a Doctorate will be a far better help to Obama than a Ryan who only has a bachelors in economics. Ryan will have his head handed to him by the Paul Krugmans of the world who are actual economists.
I came to vote in the poll too...but his post was funny.
You have heard the phrase "pulling a Biden" before, right? It is another way of saying "putting your foot into your mouth". He does it quite often and in quite fantastic ways. I honestly think that is why Obama picked Biden...it makes Obama look VERY well spoken and intelligent in comparison.
The level of discussion in this forum has gone down lately...

Academically, Biden was undistinguished,[10] but he was a natural leader among the students.[16] He graduated in 1961.[13]
Biden attended the University of Delaware in Newark, where he was more interested in sports and socializing than in studying,[10] although his classmates were impressed by his cramming abilities.[15] He played halfback with the Blue Hens freshman football team,[14] but he dropped a junior year plan to play for the varsity team as a defensive back, enabling him to spend more time with his out-of-state girlfriend.[14][17] He double majored in history and political science and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1965,[1] ranking 506th of 688 in his class.[18]
He went on to receive his Juris Doctor from Syracuse University's College of Law in 1968,[19] where by his own description he found it to be "the biggest bore in the world" and pulled many all-nighters to get by.[15][20] During his first year there, he was accused of having plagiarized 5 of 15 pages of a law review article. Biden said it was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and he was permitted to retake the course after receiving a grade of F, which was subsequently dropped from his record.[20] He was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969.[19]
Biden received five student draft deferments during this period, with the first coming in late 1963 and the last in early 1968, at the peak of the Vietnam War.[21] In April 1968, he was reclassified by the Selective Service System as not available for service due to having had asthma as a teenager.[21][22] Biden was not a part of the anti-Vietnam War movement; he would later say that at the time he was preoccupied with marriage and law school, and that he "wore sports coats ... not tie-dyed".[23]
Just kidding, we all know Biden is a joke.
Yet despite being a playboy jock in college he manage to smoke the pants off of Sarah Palin in debates WHILE figuratively chewing on his left foot (his favorite hobby).
I think that qualifies him to be VP.
It's more likely that President Obama chose VP Biden because he knew intricately how the Senate and congress as a whole worked and needed that experience on his side so much that even an, at times, unfortunate glibness could be overlooked.
Ordinarily it would be sound reasoning.
Unfortunately Mitch McConnell and friends decided to reconfigure their party into the

I bet he did want to have Palin's pants come off.

Is your plan for winning the election to make people retarded so they'll vote Republican? Christ, I think I lost 3 IQ points being in the same thread.
Ouch, you lost about a third then!
Case and point, look at your average Republican voter's math skills.
