So much has happened in the realm of politics in the past couple of weeks that to absorb it all without leading to an early coronary mishap is next to impossible. It would take a years supply of Ipecac just to digest this week. John Edwards, the way too good looking to be a politician who fights split ends more than poverty, officially ended his neutral reticence when he officially endorsed Obama as the candidate to hand John McCain his cut up and blendered political meat. Now does this seemingly carefully crafted endorsement imply that Obama will choose the cutesy southerner to once again use his geographical significance to balance the ticket? While North Carolina may prove to be a critical electoral grab, you can count on Barack choosing Edwards in as much as Edwards choosing to run with Obama. In other wards, the chances of that happening are about as likely as Hillary Clinton sharing the presidential bedroom with Bill. On the contrary, if Obama is going to be able to match McCain’s foreign policy experience, maddeningly illogical though it may be, he is going to have to pick the dude with the most gravitas and sharpest voice on foreign policy in the gang of 535. Joe Biden, of course being that man.
Now, many of you may be thinking, “why on earth would Obama choose the guy that thinks he’s clean and articulate?” The answer is simple. Joe Biden is a elder statesman with a gusto, wit and diplomatic prowess that goes unmatched. Moreover, choosing Joe Biden will allow him to stay to true to his ‘message of hope’ and ‘politics of civility,’ while Joe can excoriate McCain’s complete and utter lack of worldly vision. Shit – have you heard the man speak? The dude’s criticisms of bush’s failures and the fear-monger posturing of the neocons is so fucking poetic that it is only a mater of time when Hallmark catches up.
Some quotes from the man that inspired me to blog for him:
“Rudy Giuliani, probably the most under qualified man since George Bush to run for president…Rudy Giuliani?? I mean, think about it, There’s only three things he mentions in a sentence…a noun, a verb, and 9/11.” ~Joe Biden
On Bush comparing Barack Obama’s foreign policy to those who wished to appease the Nazis before World War II, Biden said “This is bullshit, this is malarkey. This is outrageous, for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, to sit in the Knesset . . . and make this kind of ridiculous statement. If he thinks this is appeasement, is he going to come back and fire his own cabinet?”
I don’t know about you, but this is the type of backbone that the Democratic nominee is going to need should he overcome the myriad of 527 attack ads (a.k.a “The Wright Express”). Hell, he might even convince the DNC to give the Donkey a spine.
