Biden as a Possible VP Choice
Source: http://electionstocks.comPosted on Wednesday, August 20th, 2008 | In Politics & Your Money
Biden was never a frontrunner in the 2008 Election, but he was always considered as a favorite VP choice (along with Bill Richardson). It seems, however, that if Barack chooses Biden as VP, quite a few things he said back in his presidential bid would come back to haunt him. Most notably:
“The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain.”
“The Biden for President Campaign today congratulated Sen. Barack Obama for arriving at a number of Sen. Biden’s long-held views on combating al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
“My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an epiphany” of peaceful coexistence among warring sects. “I’ve seen zero evidence of that.”
It would almost be like Biden would be doing McCain’s work for him. Read the original article here for more examples.
