You post a story from NRO, subby, and you expect people to take it seriously?

Go fark yourself.

The NRO doesn't like Obama's pick? THE WORLD MAKES NO SENSE ANYMORE!!!

If yhat what NRO thinks I'm convinced that Biden was the perfect choice.

"I think it is an outright terrible decision on Obama's part to pick (insert whomever Obama picks). (Insert whomever Obama picks) is such a (insert terrible analogy)."

Concerned NRO troll is concerned.

The whargarblers are whargarbling. Obama must have picked right.

The only worse choice he could have made was anyone else. OMFG !! I can't believe he picked somebody !!

instantaneous concern trolling. must be a lot of dirty diapers in the mccain campaign.

The Juxtaposition ^{(^)} is perfect.

Bravo, Admins.

Apparently, the NRO is the first outlet to get issued the talking points by the RNC.

FireBreathingLiberal: If yhat what NRO thinks I'm convinced that Biden was the perfect choice.

It's difficult to see how Obama can screw this election up. Short of him picking someone like Castro as a running mate, Obama is going to stomp all over McCain. Biden was a good choice, however, and I think it will only make the Obama ticket stronger.

I wonder how McCain is going to handle this?

NRO Translation: We're Farked. The old man is going to get his clock cleaned.

verbal_jizm: The whargarblers are whargarbling. Obama must have picked right.

Indeed. I could tell by the level of immediate invective that Obama chose somewhat wisely.

When the opposing campaign has an attack ad ready and airing before the major news networks have worked up a piece, you know you did something right.

How to start a flame war.

"a-a-a-and he can speak in complete, albeit rather long, sentences. Our (NRO's) attention span can't handle the pressure."

That analogy is so bad it makes the Nintendo Wii look like a floor tile.

Tr0mBoNe: How to start a flame war.

You know who else liked flame wars?

NRO link? GREEN!

Imagine combining the whargarble pic and tubgirl and you have a visual approximation of NRO's content.

Concerned Jonah Goldberg is concerned.

Just get used to it. If Obama transported Ronald Reagan here from 1984 and picked him, Jonah Goldberg and the rest of the noise machine would be fabricating outlandish, histrionic, overblown rationales explaining what a bad choice of running mate he is.

I think jonah Goldberg has a secret crush on Obama.

This is his attempt at wooing Obama, hoping to impress him.

Haha - Jonah Goldberg. What a moron.

Obama found Biden clean and articulate enough I guess.

Atillathepun: Imagine combining the whargarble pic and tubgirl and you have a visual approximation of NRO's content.

Oh dear God

Jonah Goldberg hates it?

Excellent pick, Barack.

Or shall I say:

!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!

Stupid filter.

Lionel Mandrake: Jonah Goldberg hates it?

No, he's just a little, well, concerned.

As an objective observer who sometimes dabbles in political topics, he's offering us his perspective, based on his expert analysis of the complete record of unassailable facts, that perhaps the presumptive Democratic nominee might have made a wiser choice of running mate. If this were to make a person fearful, or uncertain, or doubtful, about the candidate's judgement and chances, well, alas, so be it.

It's strange. The Democrats continue to select the most liberal senator ever, in each election cycle.

In 2000, they picked the most liberal Democrat ever, Al Gore. And he picked Joe Lieberman, the most liberal senator ever.

Then in 2004, they picked the most liberal senator ever again, John Kerry. And he picked John Edwards as his VP choice, who as we all know, is the most liberal senator ever.

Now, Barack Obama, the most liberal senator ever, has picked Joe Biden, the most liberal senator ever. I tells ya, these Democrats just can't stop picking the most liberal senator ever to run for office.

How did you make it through that with a straight face?

cameroncrazy1984: How did you make it through that with a straight face?

By biting the inside of my cheek.

Drew blood.

Should've put your tongue in there instead.

I have a feeling Goldberg made a lot of use of the Search & Replace function in Word this morning.

Biden just has this "get off my lawn" look in his eye all the time. This was a good pick, because now people over 35 who don't have text messaging will consider voting for Obama.

And what's more, it appears that this time the strategy will work.

not like neo-conservatism has done us a lot of good these days.

Pretty much this.

Seriously, the right wing was going to say this about absolutely any running made Obama picked. Is there any possible choice where they might say "Wow, Obama really made a good pick. We're concerned," or even "Okay, he choice a running mate. Let's move on."

Yes, the NRO is such the bastion of keen and insightful commentary to how the Democrats should approach their candidates...

Weaver95: I wonder how McCain is going to handle this?

They're going to repeat that line from Biden about how the presidency isn't for on the job training and Obama isn't ready. and they're going to repeat it until they're blue in the face and everybody's ears are bleeding.

It's a pretty good rule of thumb that if the NRO hates it, I probably like it.

The only possible hope for McCain is to make this fight about the issues....but McCain's problem is that he's on the wrong side of every issue we've got. What's more is that he knows it. Quite the quandry for our elderly statesman.

I think McCain is going to go a little bonkers come October.

FireBreathingLiberal: If yhat what NRO thinks I'm convinced that Biden was the perfect choice.

THIS

And here I was worried that we wouldn't have our daily NROll'd thread. Thanks, mods!

A bit understated, but that's about right.

I will say, however, that Biden was correct when he said that McCain would make a good President and that Obama is too inexperienced for the job.

The problem with McCain making this about issues is that there are numerous instances where he has reversed his positions on many of the major issues people care about: Torture, Roe v Wade, the Bush Tax Cuts, and so on. (clickity pop)

Biden already went after McCain a couple times in his speech today. With a few months of campaigning left to go, I can see Obama/Biden slamming McCain for every one of those should he try to bring them up.

Eddie_Dean_NY: The Juxtaposition (^) is perfect.

I have the feeling that NRO had a "Obama screwed up!" story waiting for whoever he picked. They just had to go back and check the punctuation.

/I assume
//not giving the click-thru to NRO

Weaver95: I wonder how McCain is going to handle this?

Same way he's handled the rest of the campaign, I suppose. Stay far, far away from policy, and embroil himself in petty sniping about "celebrity."

What was up with that joint appearance today?

Obama introduces Biden as the next PRESIDENT!! Even he now sees that the more experienced leader should be the President...

And then Biden introduces him as Barack AMERICA!!! WTF!!!

You could just see Obama cringe....as if to say, "Jesus...lnoy 10 minutes in and he's already gaffed!!!"

woops....

hope...change
