Biden for Vice President

I am very excited about the Biden pick for VP. I have been a Biden fan for a long time and was vocal in my support for him in the early going in the 2007 run up to the primary contests. In the early 1970's dear friends of mine worked for Biden on his Senate staff. They were enamored then of his character (exemplified in part by his commitment to raising his two boys after the tragic death of his wife and daughter) and have remained so over these many years.

Unlike the increasingly flawed McCain (in fact, he has always been flawed, it is just becoming more clear in the harsh light of the campaign)Biden has always been thoughtful. That is something the alleged maverick McCain cannot claim. In fact, I feel certain that the maverick tag is a clever way to cover the life long tendency McCain has had to be a fuck up. In fact, but for the cover provided by his father and grandfather he would have achieved little on his own.

The Biden family and the Obama family are great in juxtaposition to McCain. They don't have seven homes to choose from. Neither do most Americans. What a great story. McCain marries beer money built on the back of the mob. The rich daughter leaves her two half sisters in the dust.

Obama and Biden on the other hand, made themselves what they are today. They pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps, not the bootstraps of someone else. They are the American dream. McCain is the true elitist and the son and husband of privilege.
Voters, please open your eyes.
