Biden Comes Out Swinging
It didn't take long for newly-crowned VP nominee Joe Biden to take on his attack-dog role. Minutes into his speech at the Old Statehouse in Springfield, IL Biden knocked his old friend John McCain, tying him to President Bush and making it clear that Obama-Biden expects to get some more mileage out of McCain's houses gaffe last week.
From the AP: "John McCain would have to 'figure out which of the kitchen tables to sit at' when considering his own economic future, said Biden, jabbing at the man he called his personal friend."
But Obama said he's chose Biden for more than just his tenacity behind a podium. He called Biden “what many others pretend to be — a statesman with sound judgment who doesn’t have to hide behind bluster to keep America strong.”

Joe Biden is right i strongly think mccain will give us more of the same. We do not need that. So what i think is Barack Obama and Joe Biden is the best for this country their strong and look like good partners i love Joe Biden. He is a very good person. Joe biden should still run for senator here in Delaware he is the best senator for Delaware he changed it dramaticly. Now i could walk safely down the street.I think he will win both,Vice president and senator. You know you could read people the way they talk , move facaial expressions you could really tell whos serious about change. And thats what Barack Obama and Joe Biden is going to do.
