Biden: 'an asinine concept'.Not chosen by Obama to secure the AA vote

Seems pretty clear that a big lie is being promoted based on some kind of Obama osmosis effect. Biden was not chosen to help the Democrats sew up the AA vote in 2008 - quite the opposite.

I am seeing a 2nd vote at the convention between 2 women. The conversation has changed and I, for one, am super excited by that!

I support Sanders but this assertion about the 2008 general election is a delicate blend of balderdash and hogwash.

The most important aspect of the selection of running mate for a presidential candidate is to win a state. Joe Biden did an excellent job helping Obama secure Pennsylvania because of his family roots in Scranton.
