Obama Selects Senator Joe Biden as Running Mate

I'm a regestered Repubilcan but have voted Democratic on the local level here in Virginia. In Va. allot of the Dems. are more middle of the road and in some states would be considered more a Rep. than a Dem. I do not like either guy running for office because it seems both want to grow the size of the federal goverment. So my vote is going to go to the guy who will do the least amount of damage. One of my biggest issues is that goverment in most cases is the problem and not the solution. Everything they get involved in just skyrockets in cost, size and usually performs very poorly. Just because I guy can give a very good speach does not mean I agree with what they are saying.

Dude! You only say that because Republicans have been in power for a REAAAAAAAAAL long time. Once a democrat, like Barrack Obama, gets in there....................it will change. :)

first, are we in agreement that the economy is in the tank?

You've gotta be kidding right?

Well its been better but MSNBC is reporting stronger numbers than expected and thats from MSNBC. Consumer spending rises - Stocks & economy - MSNBC.com (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19502041/)
The housing market had to come back to earth and thats been a big drag along with high gas prices. So I guess if your saying Bush is the reason for the economy then as president he gets blamed for such. I don't think the president has that much control over the economy but credit either goes with him or against him. If you look back over his 8 years its been good for about 6 of those years and that was after 9/11 and everyone saying that the economy would tank for along time. I also think that the media in and election year and are liberal have pumped this news to every house hold for the past year has had a big affect.
