Could it be because they both have a connection to Tony Rezko?

You read the story and connect the dots.

Answer 1

Biden has the political experience that Obama lacks, thusly, making them an all-star team of new ideas and experience.  The young and the old.  The black and white.  Biden is definitely there to be the experience that everyone criticized Obama for not having.

Answer 2

It's funny how Obama supports reference blog sites and McCain supporters reference credible sources.  He's a corrupt little puppet!

Answer 3

No dots.

Biden great vp

Answer 4

He was chosen because he could step in as president, should Obama die, or be incapacitated.

McCain chose Palin because he is not conservative enough and believed she would rally the conservatives.  Also being a woman didn't hurt her chances of getting picked.

Answer 5

obama trusts him to not try to take his job.  Hilary would have ran all over Obama.  Bill would have been happy as a tour guide for Obama.

Answer 6

Biden doesn't even know...LOL. But, it was a good choice!

OH & do some research on the Keating 5 scandal.... you wont be too happy!

Answer 7

From your article:

"A spokesman for Cari said Sunday that Biden knew nothing of Cari's role in the fraud scheme, and when Cari informed him in 2005 he might be under investigation, Biden cut all ties with his longtime friend.

"From the moment Joe informed Biden there was an investigation of him – that was the last time they ever talked."

THEORY DEBUNKED

Answer 8

Obama, who entered into a complex real estate transaction with Rezko and his wife in 2005 that appeared to aid the senator, has returned nearly $150,000 in donations he received from Rezko and his associates over the years

That is all I needed to hear. Sometimes even people like Obama and Biden can get scamed. So it's nothing new. It's not even close the the massive pile of Bull **** the Bush administration has done so for me it's still a better alternative to anything republican. I have tried extremely hard to be fair to both sides. It just seems like the republicans are too busy trash talking instead of talking about what they are going to do for the average americans. Even today on Fox news when the media was interviewing Obama they kept bringing up nonsense, things that have nothing to do with anything.

But it's good that you focus on the important issues instead of the direction the candidates are planning on taking the country.

Let's see McCain Palin 4 more years of Abstinence only s*x education, Bans on Stem Cell research, Bans on g*y Marriage, Forced Creationism(Mythology) taught as fact in Science class rooms, Legalization of assault weapons. Hmmmm yeah I think I will take my chance with Obama

Answer 9

or maybe because biden looks as old as mccain
