Comments on: So Kos Doesn’t Like Biden as VP? http://www.plunderbund.com/2008/08/24/so-kos-doesnt-like-biden-as-vp/ A Progressive Political Playground Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:45:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Joseph http://www.plunderbund.com/2008/08/24/so-kos-doesnt-like-biden-as-vp/comment-page-1/#comment-103333 Joseph Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:49:35 +0000 http://www.plunderbund.com/?p=4568#comment-103333 I saw that poll. The thing I found interesting about it was that while 25% disagreed with the choice- 35%were "not sure". Which kind of supports the theory that the VP choice isn't really important to most people. I'm sure plenty of women disagreed with the choice just because it wasn't Hillary- without really taking the time to consider what Biden brings that Hillary doesn't. For starters, how about the fact that the GOP only has one video of Biden saying negative things about Obama- and they used it in their recent commercial. Do you know how much video there is of Hillary out there attacking Obama? And not just on his readiness for leadership. She attacked him on healthcare and every other issue in the campaign. That would have been a DISASTER. Biden may not be the perfect VP choice- but he certainly helps tell Obama's story really well and he also might help win over some of the rural white voters - the same ones who support Hillary. I really am sorry we didn't get a female nominee this time- but I'm honestly not convinced Hillary would do more to help women that Obama will. I saw that poll.
