Biden for VP?

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Even though it hasn’t come from the mouth of Barack Obama, it is being reported that Senator Biden is his choice for VP.

I like Senator Biden. I remember listening to him on C-Span at some town hall about the Iraq War. For 30 minutes he gave out a common sense solution to what needs to happen in Iraq. At that moment, I knew he wouldn’t be elected President because he (as many other people have said) was far too long winded for people to continue to pay attention. However, as VP I think he is an excellent choice. He will give more experience to the ticket and is someone that I believe many Democrats will get behind. I believe my Grandmother even volunteered for his campaign early in his political career.

Jindal for V.P. bumper stickers?

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Really? If you read the article, I guess the number of conservatives who would be angry at Jindal if he would accept the position are fewer than some conservatives would have you believe. Then again, if you dig deeper, you see that it is a Democrat who was passing out the bumper sticker (and not in an endorsement).

McPherson, D-Woodworth, handed out bumper stickers that said “Jindal for V.P.”

He said Jindal has it all — youth, drive and a clutter-free office that shows he does not plan to be here long.

“He is a politician’s politician. He has an ability to tell everyone what they want to hear. …We’re a waste of this man’s talents,” McPherson said.

I did find the New York Times article to be refreshing journalism, even if he didn’t quite get the meaning for the stickers. The advocate’s coverage of the new bumper stickers is quite amusing as well.
