Mavericky

Maverick count: Palin 6, Biden 9 Here’s Biden’s mention of maverick: Look, the maverick — let’s talk about the maverick John McCain is. And, again, I love him. He’s been a maverick on some issues, but he has been no maverick on the things that matter to people’s lives. He voted four out of five […]

Will the Vice Presidential Debate be dumbed down?

Filed in National by on October 2, 2008 24 Comments

Serious question for serious times.  We simply do not have time for Sarah “six pack” Palin to complete finishing school. And speaking of questions… Any ideas of what Ifill will ask?  And how Palin will answer?

Could the bar be set any lower?

Filed in National by on September 29, 2008 30 Comments

Thursday night is rapidly approaching, and I must confess to conflicting emotions.  One the one hand, I fully expect Sarah Palin to be a complete disaster.  On the other hand, so does everyone else. So, how does Joe Biden handle the situation of being on stage with a person who has no right to be there? […]

Biden on Fire!

Filed in National by on September 24, 2008 19 Comments

Joe Biden gives one hell of a speech! From TPM: [T]ime and again, on the most critical national security issues of our time, John McCain’s judgment was wrong. Right after the terrorists attacked us on 9-11, John responded by urging that we consider attacking countries other than Afghanistan, including Iraq, Iran and Syria. In the […]

Go Joe! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijGoISc7vFc[/youtube]   UPDATE: Republican National Committee spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson has a response: “The only person taking a step backward is Joe Biden, whose appalling and arrogant statements are better suited for the back rooms of his old boys club. Sarah Palin’s nomination as the Republican vice presidential nominee is an historic opportunity to […]

The WaPo Picks Up the Biden Succession Question

Filed in National by on August 25, 2008 20 Comments

In an article in the Tuesday edition, the WaPo picks up on a conversation had here at Delaware Liberal over the weekend. Maybe they even read us? Early betting in Delaware on whom Minner might pick has centered on the gubernatorial primary, with the loser of that contest potentially winning appointment to the Senate as […]

On Site in Bidens Driveway

Filed in National by on August 22, 2008 21 Comments

I am posting from Bidens driveway surrounded by Mike Matthews, DelawareDem and commenter “Wilmington” DelawareDem wants to post that it is a done deal, but it isn’t quite there yet. ABC is reporting that the Secret Service is now in charge of the protection of Senator Biden, but I see no detail here. They would […]

Campaigning for Vice President Biden

Filed in National by on July 6, 2008 11 Comments

Two weeks ago, on Face the Nation, Joe Biden tells the world he’d say Yes if asked by Barack Obama to be his VP: “If the presidential nominee thought I could help him win, am I going to say to the first African-American candidate about to make history in the world that, ‘No, I will […]

Biden for Secretary of State?

Filed in National by on May 27, 2008 30 Comments

Last week, when I wrote about Biden’s excellent op-ed in the WSJ, I hadn’t seen this Newsweek article all but declaring the cabinet post deal done. “(Biden)…is emerging as a major consigliere to Barack Obama—perhaps with his eye on State once again. Among the top items on Biden’s agenda: making sure that Obama has better […]

Joe Biden Smacks Down Lieberman AND McCain

Filed in National by on May 23, 2008 26 Comments

When he’s good, he’s good. Read his WSJ editorial (published today) response to Joe Lieberman’s very public bedwetting from Wednesday. Biden starts: Sen. Lieberman is right: 9/11 was a pivotal moment. History will judge Mr. Bush’s reaction less for the mistakes he made than for the opportunities he squandered. And here is the gist of […]

Biden Calls Out BushMcCain

Filed in Uncategorized by on April 15, 2008 3 Comments

More of this please! “When it comes to Iraq, there is no daylight between John McCain and George W. Bush. They are joined at the hip. When it comes to Iraq, there will be no change with a McCain administration.” Wonder if Joe is auditioning for VP here — it doesn’t matter though, all Democrats […]
