WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Of Obama’s choice of Biden … about the Democratic Convention thus far …?

Here’s one woman’s thoughts as she blogs from the Convention …
Carrie Tuhy (who has been an editor with Time, Inc., Life, InStyle and Real Simple) provides thoughts from Denver:
“You Don’t Have to Be President to Have Power”:
“I wondered what it took for this brilliant, driven woman to pledge her support to John F. Kennedy, a man she felt was not the best person for the job. She had wanted Adlai Stevenson. This was a woman, after all, whose husband had been elected president four times and, had things been different, many believed she may have been the first female chief executive of the United States.”
“We make our own history,” she said. “It is more intelligent to hope than not to hope, to try rather than not to try. Nothing is achieved by the person who says it can’t be done.”
“The most powerful woman in America knew that you don’t have to be president to bring about change you believe in.”

I like Biden and feel the ticket should be in reverse, with Biden as President and Obama as Veep.
Biden is energetic and charismatic. I look forward to to watching him lay into McCain with a Republican-like level of aggressiveness.
Unfortunately, his record on a number of issues scares me: he’s a big advocate of the Patriot Act, the war on drugs and internet regulation.

I don’t know if the vice presidential choice impacts who I’ll vote for because I was an Obama supporter regardless.
As a US citizen residing outside the country, Obama has certainly given hope to most Europeans who view America as a crushed image. If elected, I think he can bring back that image between what was like Kennedy and Martin Luther King. I am starting to feel proud of my country….Obama can do it and he will.
