2. Iraq - if we stay in Iraq it looks like we want to control their oil.
McCain compared staying Iraq to Korea --- Biden - yeah - in those countries we had an armistace - a peace agreement.

5. Keith - are you auditioning for VP or SoS?
No - that's why I won't endorse either because it will look like I am, and I am not (:()

10. I have believed Biden could do more in the Senate than VP.....
but, have definitely changed my mind. The guy would be a brainy gift for the debacle in the ME. He should have been our nominee. No money not much progress it looks like. He could probably do best as VP vs staying in the Senate. Damn I like to hear him speak.

14. But he'd, by job definition, have to speak FOR the administration
rather than how he really feels, which is the beauty of Biden.

He's going to be somewhat constrained by a Dem in the WH as it is, but I'm hopeful the Dem in the WH will be doing the RIGHT STUFF!

16. Dontcha think Biden would be a big plus for our nominee?
It seems he could soothe the anger from the campaign fighting between our candidates. He would be a plus whether he was in a cabinet position or VP. A president needs outspoken "brilliant" people advising them!

19. Pirhana did a good job of describing Biden's points
All I could think while watching was how super he is. Yup, I'm shameless too and almost juvenile about my enthusiasm.

18. haha - I knew Keith would do that.
I loved it when Biden told Keith that everyone needs to calm down - that the voters will decide this election.

(another amazing Hillary pic!)
