Don't forget he needed another socialist on the ticket too.

Obama Hates Clinton

[Anonymous Coward]

By picking Biden, Obama has shown that he HATES Clinton more than he wants to be president...

Why mark this as troll. It is obvious that Clinton was the better pick carrying 18Million Democratic votes (Essentially all the votes Obama didn't get in the primary) but instead he chooses a guy that has lost two bids for president and recently got so few primary votes that it isn't even worth mentioning... Cleary the marking of troll is an indication of the political bent of the Slashdot modorators!!!

Go ahead mark this one troll too!!! I dare ya!!!

Because having Hillary on the ticket would have also solidified the right-wing whackos who are only lukewarm on McCain to vote for him as a vote AGAINST Hillary, who they see as some kind of antichrist figure?

It's not flamebait. There's a good 5% of the voting public feel exactly that way about these two.

5%!! You're kidding, right? It's probably more like 5% of Democrats happy with Obama and 5% of Republicans happy with McCain. Actually, it's probably rather higher for the Democrats - the socialists in the party seem to really like him. But really, it's more likely that it's actually a majority of voters that are entirely dissatisfied with either choice.

There were actually some good choices for both parties at the beginning of the quest for delegates, but the system proved once again that it is an abysmal failure in promoting good leaders. I don't know how many people I've talked to that have said "Yea, I was going to vote for [statesman running for nomination] in the primary, but I didn't think [s]he could win."

Next time, vote your conscience.

You think because McCain was beaten in Vietnam that he is somehow more qualified to be the President?

HE wasn't just beaten, he was tortured. For 4 days before he confessed to war crimes. That's the reason they offered to let him go ahead of the other PoWs. The other PoWs who were tortured at least as bad? hey didn't sign. McCain was the only one who confessed to committing war crimes.

I'm not saying I wouldn't have confessed to anything to stop torture too, but I'm not trying to be President. McCain should be attacked on this since he brought it in bounds with his little "I stayed in the camp, we were going to leave in the order we were captured" bs rhetoric.

"air pirate" indeed.

Re:Who benefits from the Bush economy?

[Doc Ruby]

The ones who remember how abysmal the past 8 years have been, and how much worse the next 4-8 would be with McCain keeping the Bush economy running.

Especially those who know that Bush squandered every penny and ounce of respect this country had amassed in over two centuries.

Oh, and especially those miners especially aren't going to vote for the guy who helped bury so many miners under the ground in unsafe mines "governed" by reps of the mine owners.

You are really one of the most incurable Republicans I've ever seen. Good thing the rest of America isn't so unable to learn from trauma.
