...believe that Senator Obama has a comprehensive plan to put America back on its feet and restore our nation’s reputation. We are also impressed with his selection of Senator Joe Biden as a running mate; we believe that the combination of Biden??s foreign policy experience and Obama’s expertise on domestic issues will prove a potent combination in the White House.

Of course, we are facing a much longer leap this time around, with a total of 30 months since Biden??s announcement back in March of 2006. But this is hardly a resounding blow against democracy. It’s hard to imagine a potential voter thinking, “I would have voted. But I just know the candidates too well!” Some take another tack...
