Smart pick!  Couldn't have been anyone else after the Georgia Russia conflict.  Just hope Obama stays clean!

YES! Joe Biden is a wise choice!  I like how they introduced it (the 3:00AM phone call) that Hillary made such a big thing about in her campagne.

Smart pick! 

I respectfully disagree.  Consider this:

Allegations: Repeated instances of plagiarism since the “stressless scholarship” of his college days

Overview: Joe Biden’s history of plagiarism and “stressless scholarship” gave plenty of ammo to his enemies, one of them choosing to circulate a so-called “attack video” to demonstrate Biden’s outright plagiarism of a British politician’s speech. But this appropriation from Neal Kinnock was not the first occurrence of unacknowledged lifting by the senator from Delaware.

In 1965 Biden plagiarized while writing a paper as a student at the Syracuse University Law School in a legal methods course which he failed because of that copied paper. Such “stressless scholarship” as it is euphemistically called has become all too common in the modern Internet era with countless cheatsites and “research services” offering to sell students papers on topics from A to Z.

Uhh, Jeez, you must like Fox news... the republican spin station... what does a paper witten in college 43 years ago have to do with Bidens extensive knowledge of foreign affairs, and a highly respected senator for many years have to do with his electability, and ability to be a great VP.  The Republicans aleady are running attack ads.  If there are 4 more years of republicans, their will be no economy left, can you say Fanny Mae, and Freddy Mac?  The republicans really did a nice job with the home loan industry Huh!  and that one is far from over.  McCain never saw a war that he didn't want to wage... just yesterday the media was saying that McCain is considering Geneal Patreaus for his VP... just what USA needs is 2 war mongers waging more wars, and occupation of how many more countries being the world police, on more borrowed money from China.  While USA's infrastructure has been crumbling.  USA needs Obama/Biden

Most important, is USA needs to regain world respect.  (it is at an all time low)  I don't think that is attainable with another Republican in the white house

It appears you conveniently overlooked the word "repeated."  Granted, a mistake in college is not noteworthy.  However, plagiarizing a political speech, when he knows better (can you spell "judgment?"), in addition to his college gaffe, is not an isolated incident, and forces me to question his integrity.

Evan Bayh would have been a better choice.

What's Fox news?
