    I like the pick. Obama needs a foreign policy wonk with the situation in Iraq and the Georgia/Russia conflict looming over the election.

    Biden has been the rumored pick over the past few days through many articles.

    I hope Biden is the VP for the 2008 elections. I don't think he can run for both VP and the senate at the same time. His last senate race was 2002, meaning he is up for elections this year.

    Can he run for both VP and the senate for 2008?

    Nice thing is that Hillary won't be running in 2012 because of the same thing. Her six year senate term needs renewal in 2012 too.

    Wow, I just looked that up. You're right.

    I guess libtartds don't mind. Republicans would be shocked, and not be very nice about their votes in such a manner, as a whole.

    Why would that be shocking?

    Pretty stupid thing to say.

    My perception is that conservatives would be shocked that someone would be running for two different jobs that effectively have the same start date. Just a few days differ on the start, right?

    Is it ethical to ask your supporters to vote for you in two positions, knowing that if you win the VP spot, you will need to be replaced for the senate spot?

    It may not be legally wrong to run for both positions, but it just isn't right. We conservatives don't like such ideas. I'm pretty sure I speak for the other few conservatives here.

    Shocking for a conservative. I guess just another accepted slip of morality for liberals.

    Sure. In case your Senator doesn't become VP, it is in the interest of your state to have the Senator retain his position and seniority. Very simple. Besides, who's to say the supporters are going to vote for the ticket the Senator is on just because he is the VP candidate?

    Nah it's pretty stupid of you. It's not like he would end up holding two offices. "Conservatives" are just lucky Bob Dole and Henry Cabot Lodge were two years away from their Senate elections when they ran for VP.

    Right. So did LBJ in 1960. WC should be happy about that last one -- it led to John Tower's election to the US senate the following year.

    Biden has mad foreign policy chops. He also has a tendency to stick his foot in his mouth with alarming frequency.

    That is, until Biden tries to tell a joke, botches it, and ends up insulting entire ethnic groups.
