Cardin: Biden 'is fully prepared to become President'
By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com ReporterU.S. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Baltimore) praised presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s choice of Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) as a running mate.
Cardin called serving on the Foreign Relations and Judiciary committees with Biden a privilege and said he would “bring a wealth of experience, judgment and leadership to the Office of the Vice President.”
“Barack Obama has said he wants a vice president who will be a full partner – one who is prepared to be President, who will help him govern and who is willing and able to challenge him on issues,” said Cardin in a statement. “I have seen him in meetings with world leaders demonstrate confidence, knowledge, and strength that will help the U.S. consolidate international support for our nation's values. He is fully prepared to become President.”

Quote of the Day
In the long run, fiscal responsibility can and must be a watchword of our majority. For eight years, the administration lived by the proposition summed up by vice president Cheney, who said, 'Reagan proved deficits don't matter.' Businesses, consumers pursued that siren song to the brink of financial destruction - and some, of course, have gone over that brink. We are now experiencing the stark, painful reality that debt does indeed matter."
- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

Obama should debate his running mate, not McCain
Obama and Biden have some stark policy differences that McCain will exploit. I know he didn't want a yes man but I think he ended up with a no man.
Not WRIGHT for America has a hilarious spoof post about Obama debating Biden instead of McCain. www.notwrightforamerica.com. I think that sums up the problems with the Biden pick.
