That is the only way he could have beat McCain-Palin. Instead he picked ho-hum Biden, while McCain hit a grand slam with his VP pick. I think an Obama-Clinton ticket would have been virtually impossible to beat. Obama messed up.

The only "drugs" I have taken are Advil, a multivitamin, vitamin E, vitamin C, alpha-lipoic acid and CO-Q10. I don't think they are affecting my mental state. Obama made a huge mistake.

Anyone else notice that most of the people upset about or think it was a bad idea not to pick Hilary are republicans?

I think they are just upset they have to write a new set of talking point because they had the ones for the Obama\Clinton ticket were already written.

I would go as far to say it Obama not picking Hillary made it a much closer race. It would of been very difficult to beat an Obama/Hillary ticket. With Biden it goes against, at least partially, the platform Obama campaigned on. Of course picking Palin can be argued as McCain going partially against his platform as well.

I'm not upset at ALL. I am elated. I didn't really care who Obama picked, personally, and there are no "talking points" that I've had had to "rewrite" - what is there is say about Biden? Nothing. He's a non-issue. But with Obama not picking Hillary, and with McCain picking Palin, it is shaping up for the Republicans than I ever could have imagined.
