3. I think the other way around would be perfect. Obama could get his chops while
working with a great mentor, then take the seat himself in 8 years. Experience really DOES help in such a demanding job.

5. I agree.
Or, Biden and Feingold. Biden and Webb.

6. I agree, but right now I'm still pissed at Obama
so I have to cool down before I can picture him as a running mate.

4. That Would Work
Or vice-versa.

7. Biden/Obama would be a contender, but how can they team up
before the primaries, and if they don't, how does either one get the nod?

10. Biden-Obama would be great
They are actually complimentary to each other in some ways. Biden has foreign policy/security strengths. Obama more domestically. Biden more strong/forceful, Obama more reconciliatory.

I'm sure there would be other combinations, but this one is one that would work.

Obama on the top is now frightening me, in a similar way as Hillary. Electability that is.

12. Any combination of Obama/Clinton/Edwards/Biden would work well.
I think Richardson should be considered, too, but he's not making any headway. I also know the rhetoric is nasty and ugly right now. I don't that will matter come convention time.

13. Biden and Edwards, but Biden won't win, so Edwards and someone else.

15. Biden would have to be lead dog. I wouldn't hold my breath on that matchup, though. NT

16. I could easily support that ticket.
:thumbsup: Biden would make an excellent VP and could bolster up our image in the world.

17. No thanks. Make it Biden/Obama and I might consider it.
But not unless Kucinich and Edwards were no longer options.

And Obama is on thin ice lately as it is.

But Obama over Biden? That would make no sense to me in terms of experience or record of leadership, and I really doubt Joe would go for it.
