What about an Obama/Biden ticket?

[tyne]

Anyone?

[saltpoint]

1. Ok with me.

[RDANGELO]

2. That would be a good pick.

I would love to see him in a debate with some neocon. He would tear him apart.

[tyne]

5. Biden

was just on Steph and totally agrees with him on Cuba and meeting with Raoul.

[Pirate Smile]

9. Chuck Hagel on Late Edition seemed to agree also.

[tekisui]

3. Sounds good.

[FormerDittoHead]

4. YES! n/t

[krabigirl]

6. That actually sounds good.

[faithfulcitizen]

7. of course! :)

[Bluerthanblue]

8. that is one I hadn't considered, but really like.

:hi:

peace~

[tyne]

10. IMO

An Obama/Biden ticket would mean a "see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya" moment for McCain.

[Armstead]

11. I'd prefer Obama put him in a position like Sec. of State or Defense

[tyne]

15. I'd like

to see Richardson as sec of state and Clark as sec of def.

Biden, imo, would almost guarantee a runaway election and we'd secure those repubs who are already considering us.

[Eurobabe]

12. Dream ticket!

Biden was my first choice.

[BuyingThyme]

13. No thank you.

[jillan]

14. eh - Biden's personality is too straight forward and outspoken for Obama.

Sec of State?
Sec of Defense?

Hell ya!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

16. No.

[Colobo]

17. I love it!

[MiniMe]

18. I don't know if Biden would take it or not

He has said many times that he was only interested in the Presidency, and would not accept another position in the administration. We would also have to be careful about losing too many Dem senators unless it was guaranteed to be another Dem replacing them. For example, Mark Warner in Virginia. I think he would make a great VP choice, but I think without Mark Warner, the dems wouldn't pick up that Senate seat. I think it is a delicate balance. I would love to see Richardson somewhere in an administration, but I don't think he is strong enough for VP.

[maximusveritas]

31. Biden's son would be able to take over for him

and that talk about not accepting less the Presidency is something they all say. He'll do it in a heartbeat if asked.

[MiniMe]

33. I'm not sure how many sons Biden has, I know one is in Iraq.

Does he have more than one?

[maximusveritas]

40. He has more than one, but that's the one I was talking about

I wasn't aware he was already in Iraq. I guess that could complicate things.

[lastliberalintexas]

19. If we had a more liberal person at the head of the ticket, I would be

ok with Biden as VP. Otherwise, he just increases the corporate friendly nature of the ticket. The Senator from the great state of DELAWARE is good on foreign policy issues, though, so he'd be better as Sec of State.

[tyne]

21. Ya but

look at who we'll be facing....McCain. The only thing he has is national security and we'd take that away immediately.

[MaineDem]

20. Not bad. n/t

[speedoo]

22. Biden, Dodd, Richardson would all be good picks IMO.

Richardson obviously would help with the hispanic vote, but he would also bring great experience.

[Guava Jelly]

23. Osama/ Laden oh wait I misread that.

:yoiks:
You think these signs were bad

I like Biden He would make a good one.

(for the record I am an Obama supporter)

[sloppyjoe25s]

24. Two Senators is generally not a good pick

Biden is strong on security & defense issues - so could help in that regard.

Even though I LOVE Biden personally - I don't see him adding that much to the ticket.

I think Obama would be better off with a Governor - or some other national figure.

My top senatorial pick is Jim Webb.

[K Gardner]

25. That would be my preferred ticket.

[Sir Jeffrey]

26. Although I would like that ticket quite a bit...

Biden has Secretary of State written all over him.

I think he would be an excellent SOS, and would help to restore our credibility around the world.

[monmouth]

27. Be still my heart.....I'm a lovin' it....n/t

[dansolo]

28. Bleah!

Biden voted for the IWR, which would weaken his attacks on McCain.

[KittyWampus]

35. Biden-Lugar

[Imalittleteapot]

29. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Despite some of his shortcomings, I really like Biden. He's the real deal. :-)

[Bluestar]

30. Far better than Jim Webb; hopefully Barack would use Biden for

his foreign policy experience and not display arrogance by thinking he knows more than Biden. I hear rumors of Jim Webb as VP--makes me nervous as it would be too right leaning in my opinion.

[Thrill]

32. I'm a Big Fan of Biden...BUT

I think the VP needs to be able to help win a state or be a serious attack dog. And I think Obama is already popular and loved enough in Deleware.

I still think Kaine, Webb, or someone like Sheldon Brown make a little more sense

[KittyWampus]

36. VP's NEVER win a state for a ticket. And the way DU'ers say this or that person would hand a state

is silly.

[MrSlayer]

34. Biden voted for the war.

It would be weird for Barack to take Biden considering how he rips Hillary for authorizing the war. Richardson would probably be better.

[KittyWampus]

37. Biden-Lugar. Richardson might be good

[BringBigDogBack]

38. Yes.

[anigbrowl]

39. 6/10. Not bad, but we could do better.

I would like Biden in an Obama cabinest maybe, though in that case we would have to fill another senate seat. I don't see him as VP, however.

[mythyc]

41. not me. Biden will not be viable in 2016

I like Biden, but keep thinking that a young, galvanizing candidate will be needed to extend Obama's vision and work into the next generation... Obama has to be thinking about his successor in this VP choice, no?
