It would have been a much smaller issue if it had happened today, anyway.<BR/><BR/>As far as the change statement, it depends on what your view of change is, I guess. I'm not sure you could call an Obama/Biden administration a continuation of current policy, nor would I consider Biden your average Beltway shill.<BR/><BR/>But more than anything, our foreign policy is so fucked right now that we can't afford a guy that's even more hawkish and bullish than Bush. So we need someone that helps us win, that has the credibility to defend the ticket against McCain's bullshit, and someone that has a story to tell. If nothing else, it proves once again that Obama, more than anything, is a pragmatist, not an ideologue. And frankly, that's pretty appealing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
