Joe Biden

So first a short little overview of Biden's career and then my thoughts, Joe Biden is the democratic pick for the vice president of the united states. Biden' career started in 1970 (38 years ago) when he was elected to county council for his town of Wilmington Delaware He served until 1972 when he ran against long time senator Caleb boggs and beat him out for the senate seat. Biden has continued to stay in the senate winning by a percent of about 60 percent of vote each time and has been re-elected 5 times in 2000 after his fellow colleague retired Biden became the senior senator of Delaware. Currently Biden is on numerous powerful committees which include Committee on Foreign Relations (chairman, filing Obama's void and weakness in that area), The Judiciary Committee which include various subcommittees, And is co-chairman on the international narcotics control. In my opinion Biden is so strong in the area of Foreign Relations and gives Obama everything that he is missing, Obama is very strong and very trusted on issues in the economy and Biden brings that strength of experience and knowledge of foreign relations to the table. Some major polices that i agree with are when the US first entered Iraq Biden tried to pass a resolution that supported military efforts in Iraq only after all diplomatic efforts had been exhausted this resolution was quickly shot down and rejected by the Bush Administration. Biden agrees that we cant just leave Iraq and says that the US cannot fight alone and needs to have global support something the Bush Administration has failed to get. He is an advocate in dividing Iraq into three separate ethnic states that would help end so much sectarian violence he and many other supports give this "third option" which would federalize Iraq and give the Sunnies Shites and Kurds breathing room in their own regions...His ideology is Liberal his life time liberal score is 70 percent to 18 percent conservative, He is a firm believer and supporter for new energy and alternative fuel sources somthing McCain and Palin both appose seeing how McCain has voted against 90% of all energy bills including Water and Wind. He is against drilling in the Artic refuge, against privatizing social security, and is a firm believer that action must be taken against global warming.

The biggest question that i have for you is John McCain could very well pass away before his term is up if elected the republican response to this is Obama is more likely to be assinated (something i think is just ridiculas and wont happen) who would you rather have running the country if one of these things happened? a completely unexperienced, not qualified Plain (she has served nowhere on the national scene) or Biden.
