Great VP picks
Long ago when there was a crowded field in the Democratic primary, it was impressive to see so many strong candidates, any of which would have made fantastic Presidents (in stark contrast to the weak field of Republican candidates). Since my opinion of the best candidate in that field was Joe Biden, I'm pretty happy that he is Obama's choice for VP. Honest, fighter for the working class, experienced, massive foreign relations experience, Biden is a great choice.
Meanwhile, Minnesota Governor Pawlenty is still campaigning hard to get picked as the Republican veep nominee. Obama was just in neighboring Wisconsin explaining his plan to cut taxes for 95% of Americans (and three times the tax cut for the middle class compared to McCain's "stay the course" plan). Pawlenty was tasked with attacking Obama's speech, but failed to listen to what he was attacking. In response to the plan of actually reducing taxes for Americans, Pawlenty said Obama's plan as a "job killer" that would stifle small and medium-size businesses. Uh, no. Cutting taxes on the ultra rich, increasing taxes on the middle class, then declaring that you cut middle class taxes is bad for Americans. Decreasing the tax burden on the working class would be a good thing. I'm afraid you're a bit out of touch with reality there, Tim. You'll fit in nicely to the McCain campaign.

Despite the Dems and the allied main stream media’s desperation to see Romney as McCain’s Veep, Mitt is clearly out, with (1) Obama doubling down on the class warfare theme (McCain’s 7 houses) and (2) McCain doubling down with ads showing the hypocrisy of Biden attacking Obama in the primaries — Romney did way more than that contra McCain.
This leaves only Govs Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty. Pro-abortion Ridge and Dem-Lieberman were never real considerations, despite relentless media goading. Pawlenty’s lackluster TV performances, coupled with Palin pizzazz, the primacy of oil drilling and the ticked off women/Hillary voters, does now portend a McCain/Palin checkmate on the Dems. This is so albeit the Dems and liberal media dare not mention Palin’s name, that is, everyone but…..
And if there’s any question as to Palin being uniquely positioned and able to more than nullify Biden in debate, see the excellent discussion at palinforvp.blogspot.com
Team McCain, well done!!!

Main stream media allied to Dems? Wow, that is a ... um ... interesting interpretation. I guess it would be true in Bizarro world.
Most VP picks that came from primaries attacked the nominee in one way or another, such as George the first taunting Regan about his voodoo economics. So, not a knock against either Biden or Romney.
