He gives Obama the same foreign policy/nat'l security cred that Biden does, but without the baggage. Obama/Clark would've gotten me psyched in November. But Joe Biden?

And, frankly, it works out fine for Schweitzer, since Biden will be too old to succeed Obama in 8 years, leaving the door wide open.  Hey, maybe Biden can retire after serving one term as VP, and Obama can pick Schweitzer for the second term!  Hey, I can dream, can't I?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And, as far as Richardson is concerned, methinks he's bound for the Cabinet-- SecState, perhaps?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">The Caped Composer</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 18:01:10 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Black Reaction Online to Joe Biden as VP</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/black-reaction-online-to-joe-biden-as-vp/#comment-1801803</link><description>This was a good reply when I first read it, and it's still good.

I know a lot of white women who are voting Obama! America needs to wake up, and taking the safe way out of the woods is not always the best. &lt;br&gt;IOW, does President O need an old white guy to validate him? I'm rather disappointed. I was hoping for change. &lt;br&gt;But still not voting for McSame.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mosley</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 01:46:20 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Black Reaction Online to Joe Biden as VP</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/black-reaction-online-to-joe-biden-as-vp/#comment-1791689</link><description>If it helps him win those white americans who think the same thing, how is that a negative? I think Biden is more of a straight shooter and more honest than McCain. Biden will score well with those older white americans, especially white women, who are nervous about voting for Obama.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">aztecdiva</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 01:01:10 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Black Reaction Online to Joe Biden as VP</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/black-reaction-online-to-joe-biden-as-vp/#comment-1791477</link><description>I think Biden serves one term.  Meanwhile Sebelius is a Cabinet Appointee (she's done with governorship this fall).  Obama-Sebeluis in 2012.  Sebelius-Warner 2016...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But, let's not get ahead of ourselves.  Obama has the "Kerry States" but still needs a few more electoral votes.  He's tied/leading in IA, VA, MT, NV, NM, CO, AK...I predict a landslide 300+ EVs.  But it will take grassroots focus on key states.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">majorman</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:09:02 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Black Reaction Online to Joe Biden as VP</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/black-reaction-online-to-joe-biden-as-vp/#comment-1788377</link><description>I am cool with JoBama. I think Biden will do his pit bull job well and perhaps assuage the lingering anxieties that some caucasians and others have about Obama. I could tell that Chris Matthews was thrilled about Biden. Matthews is just the type of guy that Obama needs to win this election in November.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">JJai</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 22:56:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Black Reaction Online to Joe Biden as VP</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/black-reaction-online-to-joe-biden-as-vp/#comment-1787785</link><description>I saw that. Ben seems to have a fascination with us over here in the black political world. It's quite amusing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for Jill, I kind of have to disagree with you on Biden.  I want Obama in the White House sooooo bad that I am willing to put up with Joe to get there.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">blueberry</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 21:23:01 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Black Reaction Online to Joe Biden as VP</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/black-reaction-online-to-joe-biden-as-vp/#comment-1787695</link><description>JJP on Politico&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Not_the_target_demographic.html#comments" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Not...&lt;/a&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">JJai</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 21:06:25 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Black Reaction Online to Joe Biden as VP</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/black-reaction-online-to-joe-biden-as-vp/#comment-1787686</link><description>So much for "Why Biden’s Racist Behind Ain’t Gonna Be VP"&lt;br&gt;( &lt;a href="http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/why-bidens-racist-behind-aint-gonna-be-vp/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/why-...&lt;/a&gt; ), I see.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And people wonder why the Democrats keep doing this to African-American voters.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS: Yup: white, Republican, neo-conservative.

Took me months for people to convince me that America wasn't ready for a Black/Brown ticket. And just when I gave it up, Richardson came out and endorsed Obama and weathered the ' Judas' storm against him and made me want him all over again. I had electoral college fantasies about Obama/Richardson. Basically, I saw the Western USA, and Texas turn blue with Richardson. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once I gave up Richardson, then I wanted Webb. He could talk to White folks in Appalachia. Would have been a bulldog. He would not have been controllable, but he would have kicked ass all over this country dogging McAncient and the GOP. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After Webb, I wanted the Cowboy Governor of Montana. Smart, businessman, populist...he has a 70% rating in MONTANA AS A DEMOCRAT. And, he spoke Arabic. That whole reconfiguration of the electoral map thing with the Mountain and Plains States. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If it had to be a woman, I wanted Sebelius.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">rikyrah</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 20:33:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Black Reaction Online to Joe Biden as VP</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/black-reaction-online-to-joe-biden-as-vp/#comment-1783512</link><description>She does look really young to be about 50 or so.
