This is my hope as well as your prediction. Biden is presidential material. He's candid, not always tactful or diplomatic, but in his candor he fits the stated wish for candor within the Obama campaign. Biden's abilities and strengths make John McCain look like a pandering moral midget, no offense to any little people, for I mean intellectually, morally, in terms of all around conscoiusness. Maybe McCain fits the American persona but the American persona is a sinking ship all over the world. We need our moral authority back, our true leadership, our encouragement and good will. Which reminds me, that book by Ron Suskind calls for that too and methinks the American electorate is coming into a new maturity. We need to help heal the earth and help all the earth's peoples, not just practice greed and deception. Maybe the current "leaders" are deceiving themselves, but they are nearly the only ones left who don't get it.

While I have no problem with Biden, I just don't think this is credible. No disrespect to Howard, but his article is almost totally speculation. His sources don't give any more information that the myriad other sources who have hinted at Kaine, Sibelius, Clinton, Bayh, Clark, Richardson, Edwards, ... you get the idea.

If the Obama camp has done one thing insanely well, it's being almost completely leak-free. There are maybe 6 people on Earth who know Obama's VP, and more likely only 3. If anything, Howard's article makes me LESS certain that Biden will be picked.

I'm good with Biden if that is the choice. It does make sense unless there is someone that is even more Biden that Biden out there somewhere we have not thought of. I think the counter on foreign affairs and experience add a lot of weight to the ticket and defuse the McCangries in their quick draw McGraw talk.

I love Biden but Howard you are wrong.What about Zinni? Same type of guy but has the militaIy experence that McCain can not match.Zinni is a better fit for Obama.I do not think the Dems want any of there Senator to be choosen because they trying to get to 60 number. Zinni is a outsider also.Plus you guys are never right on who you think who will be the VP.

Mr. Morris suggested Caroline Kennedy as Senator Obama's VP. While Caroline has remained out of the limelight, I suspect she has not missed very much politically these past decades and is well versed on the know-how of politics and world affairs. She is a highly intelligent woman who is also an intellectual and a very bright and smart woman. It would be a big and pleasant surprise for all of us! I am certain Senator Obama will pick the very best of the best as his running matea and VP!! Senator Obama is truely a man of vision, great integritty, honesty, good character, intelligence, wisdom, great judge;ment, and has the perfect temperament to be the president of this country we all love so very much! For those of you who harbor resentment toward this good man, I would ask you to pray to your higher power to help you rid yourselves of resentment and bigotry. Surely, He does not condone such hateful emotions. If you have any doubt about Senator Obama's wisdom and vision, please google his 2002 speech against going to war in Iraq and compare it to all that has happened since President Bush and John McCain attacked Iraq. It is uncanny!! EVERYTHING Senator Obama predicted has happened! We should be proud to elect him as our president and command-in-chief. Senator Obama called it RIGHT! On the other hand, McCain enthusiasticly voted for the war in Iraq, his "vision" was that the war would be easy and that it would be quick. Here it is, on its sixth year. Doesn't sound or look at all like what McCain envisioned! McCain called it all WRONG!! Who do I TRUST? The gentleman who can step outside the box and is able to look BEYOND the NOW----that gentleman is Barack Obama! He falls into that 2% of our population who are so gifted. Vision is not something you learn, it is a God-given gift and it's given to few, like I said, ONLY TWO PERCENT (2%) of our population have this gift! We would be remiss to bypass such a person in favor of McCain who has proven time and again that wisdom and vision evade him!
