  • can't agree more. hillary should have been selected, not someone who's been in congress longer than mccain. I'm going with Palin and McCain.

  • I would say McCain has flubbed with his choice of a pretty skirt. Do you really think she is qualified to step in as commander in chief? Or provide McCain with any advice or challenge?

  • Biden is SUCH a poor choice, what with his lack of foreign policy experience - oh, wait, doesn't being governor of Alaska count?

  • To jgoldberg What a pathetic article... I can't wait to see how you suck up to the Governor of Alaska. Why does McSame think this will help him... because she is a woman. You should get a job with Fox News where you belong!

  • Perhaps a million monkeys hammering on typewriters couldn't produce a Goldberg column but why is tit the Los Angeles Times won't let them try?

  • Duran Duran are still on the cutting edge of music, as evidenced by their current world tour and their latest album, Red Carpet Massacre.

  • a duplicitous run on sentence, the opinion piece makes no factual argument. the writer complains that, "politics (are)... just words...." maybe he prefers gunboats and bombers and tanks.

  • For someone who's main complaint about Biden is his long-windedness, Goldberg sure has a whole lot of nothing to say in this article. So a Democrat picks a Democrat to be his VP. Is anyone really so surprised? Is this shocking or debatable enough to pay an op-ed columnist to write about it? No. The attack, notice, is not on either Democrat's ability to lead, but rather their ability to follow through on their promises of centrism. I'd say that if it weren't for Biden, Clarence Thomas would never have made the Supreme Court. How's that for centrism? The Times should stop paying Goldberg for his hollow bloviations.

  • Wow...a lot of hate from the left today. I love the people that criticize Goldberg's journalism abilities when they are unable to connect 2 sentences. Just say you disagree with his opinion; it's quite clear that he knows HOW to write. There is nothing wrong with being liberal and being a democrat, Obama should just stop pretending he is some great unifiying centrist who will heal the so-called partisanship of our country. Goldberg's point is correct from that point of view.
