Open Left

For me, that's the real killer

and I don't see what Biden brings to the ticket that Dodd wouldn't (n.b., I support Sebelius if Gore really won't take it), unless Obama really wants to buy into Biden's proposal to impose a partition of Iraq into Sunni, Shi'ite, and Kurdish sectors, like it or not.  (Is that what we want to be debating for the next two months?)

But here's my impression of an GOP spokesperson if Biden is chosen:

Obama says that we're not paying attention to the middle-class, but as his Vice-Presidential choice Joe Biden said when he sponsored the bill to make it harder for people to file bankruptcy....

Obama's proposals on housing are at odds with what his Vice-Presidential choice Joe Biden said when he was pushing the bankruptcy bill....

I don't understand why Barack Obama talks about predatory lending practices when his running mate Joe Biden wrote the bill making it harder for people to declare bankruptcy....

Joe Biden showed that he could work with Republicans on economic issues when he authored the Bankruptcy Bill, but Barack Obama stuck to his party line....

I thought that the Cubs did pretty well in that last playoff game, which reminds me that Barack Obama's running-mate Joe Biden sponsored the bill making it harder for people to declare bankruptcy....

My wife will have the Oysters Rockefeller and I'll have the Joe Biden made it harder for people to declare bankruptcy, which John McCain supported because he was a POW rather than a lobbyist like Biden....

Arf-arf-arf Joe Biden arf-arf-arf-arf made it harder to declare bankruptcy arf-arf.

Remember, these are Republicans aiming for low-information voters.  It doesn't have to make sense.  It just has to work.

I speak only for myself, not for those voices in the next room that won't leave me alone.
