Biden Veep: Obamas choice

On the surface, Barack Obama’s choice of Joe Biden as his Vice Presidential running mate strikes me as pretty uninspired. It’s hard to imagine that it wins him an extra vote come November, though I think that sometimes the ability of a running mate to do that for any candidate is overstated. Biden’s obvious strengths as a politician—his foreign policy knowledge, his experience in DC—serves to plug some holes in Obama’s resume, in the same way Dick Cheney did for George W.

Although most bloggers noted the comprehensive and detailed nature of the speech, the AP reported "a lack of specifics," to the shock of liberal bloggers. On the conservative side, a National Review blogger had a long list of positives and negatives while another thought it was pretty

Unhappy Democratic Bloggers Create Petition to Strip Lieberman of Committee Chairmanship

Apparently not every Democrat was excited about formerly Democratic but now independent Sen. Joe Lieberman's shining endorsement of Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Nor were Democrats too enthusiastic to hear recent rumors of Lieberman's being a potential McCain veep pick. So the progressive blogosphere has concocted the perfect punishment—stripping the senator of his chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in 2009.
