I think with Biden there, it gives him a real leg up--if he does what he says and listens. I would bet that Obama and Biden had a real sit-down before Biden agreed to be his running mate. Biden is not one to be shuffled off.

I do have to respond to what you said about McCain being more qualified because of his war record. I disagree. Serving in the military, being a POW--these do not a President make nor make him qualified. He deserves our thanks for that, not our votes. Votes are because someone is a leader and I don't think McCain IS a leader. He gets in people's faces if they disagree. That is not a leader; that is an intimidator which is what George Bush has been. We don't need more of that.
