This is why when the nominee is finally named your running mate should be someone you did not run against in the primary.

I'm not 100% on why it makes Obama look bad, though. If you think about it, those quotes, and the order of the ticket, are proof that a certain segment of the population agreed with Obama more than Biden.

Ahh... I think it's awesome that his running mate disagrees with him on some issues. Last thing i want is two idiots in there patting each other on the back and doing stupid **** without even debating it. Sounds to me like Obama and Biden would actually have something to talk about. As opposed to Palin who would just go..."Deerrrr.... I shot a moosie!"

It is a peurile activity that does not do this forum well. Perhaps you can concentrate on leaving the ad homs out of the discussion. Can you at least try?

And this from someone who claims that no one can make an offensive post, only take offense.

Quit whining about people picking on you and grow up.

Using the other ****ty candidate as a defense of this ****ty candidate is not a defense at all. It's a de facto agreement to the candidates utter ****tiness.

Excellent point. Except the author of this thread doesn't follow that rule, so fair game.

He'd say that in a thread about how apparently Biden is this or that, offering up evidence that Biden is no worse or actually better than the other candidate is a valid argument.

In fact, he'd say you are trolling and resorting to ad homs against me.

I'm in agreement on your comments about a diversity of opinions with the two on teh ticket, but I would add that Palin and McCain differ on some issues, and especially on the way they prioritize things.

Palin is pretty vocal about drilling in ANWR like yesterday, for example.

But my pointing that out is a digression from the topic at hand.

Good example. Look at Rodman and Pippen. Remember the bad blood between those guys? It even involved shoving and Pippen getting stiches.

They still pulled off 3 rings without a hitch.

But you have to admit, it usually does not work out that way...
