Beware: Delaware Is Bigger Than It Looks

Delaware may be the smallest state in the Union save for Rhode Island, but it packs a massive punch with their Senator Joe Biden. I was honestly hoping for Tom Daschle to be given the VP nod but if I had to have a second choice, it would be the man from Delaware. Now of course no one is perfect and Joe certainly has his flaws, but I truly believe that his strengths will shine through in the next ten weeks and three days.

Now the first thing that is going to happen from the right are the attacks. That is primarily why Obama waited until three days before the convention. Also, he has already responded to their attacks before they started, so Obama is way ahead of McCain's game. Biden will certainly say what he thinks and has the wit and debate skills to get those ideas across. Being in the Senate for all these years, he hasn't become secluded from his constituents but always learning about what is going on in Delaware, across the country and throughout the world. Not only has he sought information for his own good but as a dedicated public servant that heads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Now the whiners have to be called out on our side and we must bond together to make Obama/Biden from a campaign to the next leaders of the Executive Branch. While the traditional media was turned on its head on this VP rollout, that is where the rest of us surge forward. Donating to the campaign, signing up to get involved and talking to everyone you know across the country is what will make Barack Obama our next President and Joe Biden the Vice President. Now go enjoy the convention next week and get ready to work your arse off so we can finally realize change in our country, the change we've needed since the day George Bush walked into the Oval Office.
