Love muffins, Barack Obama has finally chosen his running mate – Delaware Sen. Joe Biden.
Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, brings years of experience that could help counter GOP arguments that an Obama administration would be inexperienced on foreign policy. Biden abandoned his own White House run after a poor showing in Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses. He also ran for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination but dropped out after charges of plagiarism in a stump speech. CNN
In my opinion Sen. Hillary Clinton would have been the best choice to be Sen. Barack Obama’s vice president especially being that 18 million people voted for her, all of which he needs to win in November.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll published on Wednesday found that only 52 percent of people who voted for Clinton in the marathon Democratic primary duel had so far decided to vote for Obama in November. Twenty-one percent said they would vote for McCain, while 27 percent had not yet decided. One in three of the group said they found Obama “arrogant and cocky.”
John McCain hasn’t chosen anyone yet, but only time will tell since it is getting pretty close to election time. It’s going to be interesting to see how all this plays out. Thoughts?
