Anyone not feeling it? Just for balance, I like Biden, but...

[mirrera]

I think he makes Obama look young. Being that I am 51, Obama didn't look young to me, just smart and thoughtful and articulate. A middle aged man. Now next to Biden he comes off as young.

I was hoping for Richardson because they would have looked equal and energetic, and they looked compatible. I hope he gets a good position like Secretary of State.

I do not think Biden is about change. He voted for the war and the bankruptcy bill. I am confused about their branding. Change and experience? So the "experienced" one votes badly and the "change" one is going to change... the "experienced one?" Also I think it is an insult to the Hillary supporters, and I am someone who did not want him to pick her because of her Rovian campaign, BUT she got millions of votes and to pick someone with such similar weaknesses in voting history, is a bit of a diss. 3:00am was only a good idea if it was her.

I think Biden is an obvious choice, but I am a little disappointed.

Coming from a Kucinich supporter's perspective, all the war talk is hard enough to take, and now I feel like we are full swing into pre-Bush foreign policy, with Bush created danger. I see war on the horizon. I am determined that the Democratic party must take control, but never the less, I see war.

Just like I had to learn more about Obama, and now truly love and admire his whole family, I have to do the same with Biden. I appreciate all the positive posts people have put out and have been reading them since 3:30 am with my coffee.

If Obama had to pick a father, it looks like he picked a good one. It gives me chills, the whole old timer/newbie thing. I in no way mean this to be a flamey type thread, I just wanted to create a little space for us non rah rah people to converse. Believe me when I say I want to be happy about it... I do, but I am not feeling it yet.

Help!

Edited to add that 51 referred to my age, I know how old obama is.
