I know focusing on irrelevant stuff is found in every election, but why? Particularly why now, when we actually have a pretty decent selection for a change? I've got my own biases, and here they are. I'm for Obama, unless some shocking revelation comes up in the near future. I'm registered...

Why am I not surprised? :rolleyes: Pact on Debates Will Let McCain and Obama Spar Seems to me that the wheels have come off the "Straight-Talk" Express. So much for Sarah Palin being able to "hold her own" in a straight up debate with Joe Biden. Of course, that's just me being all sexist...

Here's a website where you can create your own comic strips on the 2008 Presidential Election. The site is relatively easy to use, but extremely powerful. Here's one I whipped up in ten minutes: Undesired Walrus deserves the credit for finding this site originally and pointing it out to...

Link Note to self: Check during first week of December to see if Biden fils's newfound distaste for lobbying extends past election day.

Does anyone here think that Obama will (or at least seriously consider to) drop Biden and take Hillary back? Not that it will happen exactly as I just described, but that something will allow Biden to drop-out with full dignity --- and for Obama as well.

Link This is the first step. Step 2: Biden vanishes from the campaign trail for ten days. Step 3: Biden re-emerges to announce his doctors have discovered a previously-undisclosed medical condition that would make it impossible for him to serve as vice-president, and that he is stepping down...

I had always kind of wondered why Biden was so poor; turns out that the much-reported figure for his net worth excludes his real estate holdings. His home sounds pretty nice: The article analyzes Biden's purchases and sales of other houses. There is a very interesting pattern; Biden tends to...

I see a lot of new members here with some pretty silly threads claiming McCain slam dunk fantasies. Got me wondering if it was spontaneous or a conspiracy concerted effort?

My question assumes that one ticket will win and one will lose, but does not assume which. The political careers of the two on the winning ticket are set for the next four years at least. Should they lose, will either McCain or Obama get a shot at the presidency again? Should they lose...

Rate the candidate's VP picks. Choose all answers that apply.

It's woo, but of course there are some amusing bits: The inability to see himself from a spiritual viewpoint, and to see his own best qualities has not been a notable failing for Obama this election. Errr, no, let's not go there. Silly stuff of course, and please feel free to post...

This is for Oliver to address what he thinks their policies will be.

The pick will come this week, perhaps early on wednesday, according to the NY Times, and it will probably be Bayh, Kaine or Biden. Not that I know a lot about these guys, but Bayh seems like the safest pick of those three. I hope it's not Biden. Nothing against him, but I don't think he would...

Gee whiz! Biden was my favorite candidate for this election, but due to his poor performance in Iowa he is dropping out of the race. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080104/pl_nm/usa_politics_senators_dc;_ylt=Atj67amuyIUjuwHq03xzo9iyFz4D Dodd and Biden drop out of White House race DES MOINES...

I'm sort of adrift and looking for a candidate to support, and so am now researching Biden. Statements of his positives are easy to come by, of course, but what do you other primary-voting Democrats see as his negatives? Thanks!

If I had to pick the to two democrat senators who are trying to get their image in order for 2008, I would have to say they are Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. What is interesting is the 180 degree difference in their tactics. Hillary Clinton seems to be following the path of least resistance...

Biden to Europe: 'get over' Bush election WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., urged Europe to "get over" the fact President Bush was re-elected and work with the United States on common problems. "I spent a little time in Europe recently, and I have one simple message: Get...
