What is he supposed to do? Go out and say, "I don't want you asshats to vote for me... why? Because you stink... I mean, you people smell <I>bad</I>. I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message."<BR/><BR/>And now all these commentators are saying that by picking Joe Biden he is trying to make up for his weaknesses... Well, who should he pick? Someone that <I>emphasizes</I> his (apparent) weaknesses? Or should he just pick a name out of a hat? Or should he pick Tom Arnold? Carrot Top? Martha Stewart?

Everyone has to talk about how Obama's VP choice is going to play with the Inuit Trucker mail-in vote.<BR/><BR/>"That's really going to hurt Obama's chances with stay-at-home Moms who like to grow their own root vegetables."<BR/><BR/>Shut up! Here's what you need to decide: How <I>you</I> are going to vote.
