Biden is strongest VP choice for either Clinton or Obama. - New England Patriots Forums

He provides the experience and weight that balances the weaknesses of both candidates.

He's not likeable enough I don't think. Experienced definitely, but he comes off as pompous. Bill Richardson has even more experience and seems much more likeable, but that's just my opinion.

I agree about Biden. It's got to be someone from the south or heartland to steal votes.

What better to follow the most pompous administration in U.S. history then? Especially considering the way con men have chirped and chuckled for years regarding how weak and spineless they all believe the Democrats always are. I mean, which is it? Should the compassionate party toughen up, or lay down again? Joe Biden is firey and articulate. While I don't agree with all his policies, he's no doubt an unwavering, dead-on, fantastic debater. And an ass kicker.

I would love to see Joe Biden go up against ANYONE the Corporate Party trots out there in the televised vice presidential debates. I would give a week's pay to see him take on the current Vice president, face to face, for the whole world to witness. It would be a veritable slaughter, with Palpatine seething, sneering and lost for words, throughout.

"A noun, a verb and 9/11" indeed.

Biden might be too strong a VP candidate, as Biden has the potential to overshadow the P. Also, Biden comes across as a wise guy.

I didn't mean he'd be a bad choice because of his policies or anything, I was just pointing out that people have a negative reaction to him. I've got no problem with someone being fiery and standing up for their opinions, just saying that he's a bad choice for VP because he won't bring many votes in, and may take some away because people view him unfavorably, especially if Hillary gets the nod. She absolutely needs someone likeable to balance out negative opinion of her.

Biden will not be the VP. I've heard he wants to be Sec. of State.

***Patters*** · 02-02-2008, 04:57 PM

Now, Lifer, seriously, given your name don't you think you should mention that Biden is that he's the only Democratic leader who supported the ban on partial birth abortions? There are certainly many other reasons to like him, but to me he sounds like a football coach the way he talks. He's smart, but kind of in your face I think.

PC you miss the point. Why would anyone pick a VP that people don't like? He comes of as a smarmy know it all. He may be the smartest, most experienced guy out there, but nobody will VOTE for him!
