Yet another reason not to vote for him. I hope McCain picks Lieberman
and Obama picks Biden. Biden would kick Lieberman's nuts off in a
debate.


I like Biden, but Obama would be making a mistake picking him. He has a
history of putting his foot in his mouth, a distraction Obama doesn't
need.

I remember watching and listening to Biden many years ago. He struck me as
being an egotistical bad ass, fresh from his law practice days, an
observation apparently shared by others, even in his own party, because he
was not always well received by his peers.

Over the years, he seems to have calmed down a bit and has learned how the
system works by working more with his colleagues and sharing credit.
Occasionally though, you see a flash of the old Biden, and it isn't pretty.

Watch Biden on C-Span when he's questioning a Republican - any Republican.
He's still very much an egotistical, self-annunciated bad ass, or so he
thinks. I've no respect for someone who will take advantage of his position
to deliberately try to belittle others simply because of their politics.
