Biden

(Community Matters) Received a CNN alert on the vice presidential selection at 10:55 last night, a note from my cousin at 2:28am and the text from the campaign at 2:40am. Didn’t receive the longer note/email from Obama until 10:01 this morning.

And, the response to Barack’s decision to invite Sen Biden as his vice presidential running mate seems overwhelmingly positive. I nearly emailed Texas Hillary Clinton chair, Garry Mauro, to ask how he felt, though didn’t want to appear gloating or unsympathetic. I know Garry had been pulling for Hillary as VP. I’ll see and talk with him about this in Denver.

Biden is a hell of a man, extraordinary credentials in foreign policy, crime & judicial system. Love that he’s always taken the train home to Delaware and speaks his mind.

Not at all displeased to read that Nunn was ruled out because of his trouble with certain constituencies, read: gay community. I’d already said I would, of course, still support the ticket but wouldn’t be able to fundraise if Nunn was the vp candidate.
