Biden is the Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his foreign policy "expertise" is designed to address Obama's weakness in that area. Biden is another career politician, having been elected to the US Senate aged 29. In an interview given to Fox News Biden said (after dropping out of the race earlier this year):
"I'm not running for vice president. I would not accept it if anyone offered it to me. The fact of the matter is I'd rather stay as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee than be vice president".
How nice to know that the Democrats have chosen someone unable to keep his word as Obama's running mate.
The 32nd Vice-President of the United States, John Nance Garner, famously once said that the vice-presidency was "not worth a bucket of warm piss". Once assumes that Hillary Clinton agrees. For if Obama loses to McCain in November, Senator Clinton is ideally placed for 2012. And if Obama does two terms as President, Biden (like Cheney) will be too old to run for the top job himself - whereas Clinton will want to give it one more go in 2016.

I honestly don't understand the apparent obsession with Presidential candidates having 'foreign policy' experience. The US have a sophisticated State Department that I'm sure can provide excellent policy advise, this perceived gap seems to be a particularity US phenomena. I can't remember anything similar elsewhere.
What would happen if, before Novamber, Obama was disqualified for being ineligible, or prosecuted for violating voter's rights or money-laundering?
Would McCain win by default or would the DNC put Hillary in?

Thanks to several alert readers here at No Quarter, I have learned about a new documentary on Caucus Fraud that is just coming out. “We Will Not Be Silenced, ” by Gigi Gaston, came into being according to their website because:
As Americans, we expect certain liberties and rights that were granted us by our forefathers, who wrote documents like the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. “We the people” expect that these fundamental rights will always be protected.
However, in the current Democratic Presidential Primary, this has not been the case. We believe that the The Democratic National Committee (DNC) made a grave error by depriving American voters of their choice of Hillary Clinton as Democratic nominee. Senator Clinton, by all accounts, except caucuses, won the Primary Election and, therefore, should be the 2008 Democratic Nominee.
That didn’t happen, due largely to illegitimate and illegal acts. We have interviews of many accounts from caucus states recounting threats, intimidation, lies, stolen documents, falsified documents, busing in voters in exchange for paying for “dinners,” etc.
There are at least 2000 complaints, in Texas alone, of irregularities directed towards the Obama Campaign, that have lead to a very fractured and broken Democratic Party.
The preview, all 33 minutes of it, is compelling. In essence, it is a visual companion to the work of Dr. Lynette Long at Caucus Fraud and Peniel Cronin on Primaries and Caucuses (which will appear at NQ shortly). In short, it is disturbing not just how this happened, but THAT it happened in our country.
I invite you to watch the preview to this documentary, about which the authors said this:
This documentary is about the disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama Campaign. We the People have made this film. Democrats have sent in their stories from all parts of America.
We want to be heard and let the country know how our party has sanctioned the actions of what we feel are Obama campaign “Chicago Machine” dirty politics. We believe this infamous campaign of “change” from Chicago encouraged and created an army to steal caucus packets, falsify documents, change results, allow unregistered people to vote, scare and intimidate Hillary supporters, stalk them, threaten them, lock them out of their polling places, silence their voices and stop their right to vote, which is, of course, all documented in “We Will Not Be Silenced.”
This documentary contains powerful, important information. I urge you to spread the word however you are able. Now is the time.

My deepest thanks to all of those at “We Will Not Be Silenced” for your commitment to democracy, to the rights of Americans, all Americans, to vote. Thank you for your courage and integrity in getting this critical information out. And thank you for bringing the voices of these Americans out for us all to witness.
