The Dude a-Bidens
So it’s to be Joe after all, eh? Well, this is why I never bet, I’m too fond of twists and surprises to trust conventional wisdom even when it’s right.
Of course he wasn’t my first choice, but we could do a lot worse. And the good part is “Obama / Biden” will be one of the more fun ticket names to try and say ten times fast, though still not as fun as would have been “Obama / Sebelius”.
I suppose I’ll leave my $0.00 bet on Romney for the other side, though I’m probably wrong on that one too. Especially since Obama’s choosing an old white guy may have increased Sarah Palin’s stock a bit. And then there’s still that Cantor guy who seems to have some of the neocons drooling. He’s my favorite on the “ticket names” front, as “Yes We Can, No McCain Can’t-or!” just flows.
LOL…you win the “Hutchmo Award of Excellence for Best Blog Title”…that is awesome. ;)

@Ginger — thanks! I was rather pleased with it myself :)
Gawd! Up until now I had at least some hope that Barry O’B had at least a clue. Now I am convinced that McClown will counter with frickin’ Lieberman, just so NEITHER party dares to off the front-guy (as Cheney was Shrub’s security blanket) …
Steve, so happy to be a BTP elector in this state
I don’t think Biden’s such a bad choice for #2. I sure don’t want him as president, but I think he might be an effective just-get-things-done bulldog, so long as philosophy comes from the top.
