The Making of a Vice Presidential Candidate
Ryan Lizza has a long piece in this week’s New Yorker reporting on how Biden got picked and why.
Let us know what you think.
Jefferson-Jackson Dinner Roundup
Tonight was my first Jefferson-Jackson Dinner and oh what a year to start. As I travelled down Rt.1 at 5:30 I passed Tommywonk and his lovely date in a convertible with the top down. Damn, even Tommy looks cool heading out for a great night of wonkiness. As I walked into the Dover Downs hotel [...]

Am I going to discuss last night? You betcha!
What happened last night? Whatever it was, it sure as hell wasn’t a debate. Let’s start with the obvious. Ifill sucked. She honestly deserves the award for the worst debate moderator ever. All her talk about how she worked on the “debate” questions… Nonsense. In fact, halfway through the event anyone would be forgiven for [...]

Maverick count: Palin 6, Biden 9
Here’s Biden’s mention of maverick:
Look, the maverick — let’s talk about the maverick John McCain is. And, again, I love him. He’s been a maverick on some issues, but he has been no maverick on the things that matter to people’s lives.
He voted four out of five times for George [...]
Will the Vice Presidential Debate be dumbed down?
Serious question for serious times. We simply do not have time for Sarah “six pack” Palin to complete finishing school.
And speaking of questions… Any ideas of what Ifill will ask? And how Palin will answer?
Could the bar be set any lower?
Thursday night is rapidly approaching, and I must confess to conflicting emotions. One the one hand, I fully expect Sarah Palin to be a complete disaster. On the other hand, so does everyone else.
So, how does Joe Biden handle the situation of being on stage with a person who has no right to be there? I’d [...]
Biden on Fire!
Joe Biden gives one hell of a speech!
From TPM:
[T]ime and again, on the most critical national security issues of our time, John McCain’s judgment was wrong. Right after the terrorists attacked us on 9-11, John responded by urging that we consider attacking countries other than Afghanistan, including Iraq, Iran and Syria. In the run up [...]
Video — Biden on “Strong Economy”
Oh yes — more like this please!

You want straight talk? I got some straight talk for ya!
Go Joe!
UPDATE: Republican National Committee spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson has a response:
“The only person taking a step backward is Joe Biden, whose appalling and arrogant statements are better suited for the back rooms of his old boys club. Sarah Palin’s nomination as the Republican vice presidential nominee is an historic opportunity to break the highest glass [...]
The WaPo Picks Up the Biden Succession Question
In an article in the Tuesday edition, the WaPo picks up on a conversation had here at Delaware Liberal over the weekend. Maybe they even read us?
Early betting in Delaware on whom Minner might pick has centered on the gubernatorial primary, with the loser of that contest potentially winning appointment to the Senate [...]

On Site in Bidens Driveway
I am posting from Bidens driveway surrounded by Mike Matthews, DelawareDem and commenter “Wilmington”
DelawareDem wants to post that it is a done deal, but it isn’t quite there yet. ABC is reporting that the Secret Service is now in charge of the protection of Senator Biden, but I see no detail here. They [...]
Campaigning for Vice President Biden
Two weeks ago, on Face the Nation, Joe Biden tells the world he’d say Yes if asked by Barack Obama to be his VP:
“If the presidential nominee thought I could help him win, am I going to say to the first African-American candidate about to make history in the world that, ‘No, I will not [...]
Biden for Secretary of State?
Last week, when I wrote about Biden’s excellent op-ed in the WSJ, I hadn’t seen this Newsweek article all but declaring the cabinet post deal done.
“(Biden)…is emerging as a major consigliere to Barack Obama—perhaps with his eye on State once again. Among the top items on Biden’s agenda: making sure that Obama has better luck [...]
Joe Biden Smacks Down Lieberman AND McCain
When he’s good, he’s good.
Read his WSJ editorial (published today) response to Joe Lieberman’s very public bedwetting from Wednesday. Biden starts:
Sen. Lieberman is right: 9/11 was a pivotal moment. History will judge Mr. Bush’s reaction less for the mistakes he made than for the opportunities he squandered.
And here is the gist of what the [...]
Biden Calls Out BushMcCain
More of this please!
“When it comes to Iraq, there is no daylight between John McCain and George W. Bush. They are joined at the hip. When it comes to Iraq, there will be no change with a McCain administration.”
Wonder if Joe is auditioning for VP here — it doesn’t matter though, all Democrats who can’t [...]
Carper = Spineless Fu@@ers!
Well it’s nice to know how Tom Carper feel about immunity. I can’t think of a better word to describe him other than spineless. The government asks the Phone Companies to break the law and spy on us, they do, subsequently they are breaking the law.
Well I guess the way Carper sees it, that’s ok. [...]
Holy Joe, acting like he’s working
- Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden plans to air television ads in Iowa on Wednesday, touting his plan to end the Iraq war and his history of overcoming personal tragedy.
Perhaps we can use Joe’s recent excess of Hot Air to power the new Wind Mills off the gay coast of Delaware. I don’t know [...]
Biden knows when people are talking out their asses
So I believe him when he says any success in Iraq is a joke.
Biden said, “This whole notion that the surge is working is fantasy.
This is how bush supports his troops….
There just is really, really something sickening about this administration. How in the world they have been able to spin the facts to get the public to think that dems don’t support the troops and that this administration does is mind boggling when you actually read what they aren’t doing.
Even as President Bush and Pentagon [...]
My kiss ass letter to Holy Joe
Yes, I wrote a but smooching letter to Joe. I don’t care. I come from the retail side of the world. I think it is important to let people know when they are doing a good job, not just a bad one. A compliment goes a long way and it something we don’t do enough [...]

Holy Joe on Scooter
In a statement issued today, Senator Joe Biden decried the commuted sentence for former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. “It is time for the American people to be heard,” said Biden. “I call for all Americans to flood the White House with phone calls tomorrow expressing their outrage over this blatant [...]

Biden = Brilliant, so says Newsweek
He is a force of nature—smart, even brilliant; passionate about what he believes, and a challenge for any mere staff person to rein in.

US Waives Some Border Passport Rules
I’m travelling to Mexico soon (I will have some posts up about that next week) and my three children need passports. I have been on the phone all week with the State Department trying to track them down. They finally arrived in Delaware today. I would like to thank Jillian from Joe Biden’s office for [...]
