Obama picked Senator Joe Biden of Delaware as his running mate. Biden brings a lot of expereience (ten more years than McCain) that some believe Ombama is missing. He's not affraid to speak his mind and would be a great sounding board for a president. He has a lot of foreign relations experience which I think could cause a great change in our relations with the rest of the world, which has been as of these past 7 years degrading.
One drawback, that might be capitazlied on by republicans, is that Biden voted for the war, but has since become a critic of the way it's been run.
Well, let the s*#% storm begin. Criticism, praise, anyone?
I forgot to mention earlier that Obama should have waited a few days before announcing his VP, so that it wouldn't have to compete with the Olympics for coverage by the mass media.
Well, if the National Debt is a deciding factor for you, consider that Mccain will keep the wars going much longer than Obama and WAR'S AREN'T CHEAP and we'll have to pay for them somehow.
I don't eve care anymore, America's going down the crapper no matter what we do. We have more than 30 trillion dollars in national debt, and I don't think either candidate will be able to fix it. Besides that, I am about 50-50 on each candidate, so I can't decide anyway.
Ya, the way I view it as far as national debt goes is that we know that McCain is going to increase it, probably by a lot, but we're not sure yet whether Obama will reverse the trend (as most economists say his plan will at the very least do less damage then McCain's), so it's a clear cut choice for me on that issue.
