It would be off if Biden or someone like him weren't part of the ticket. Like it or not, there are millions of morons who need the comfort of an old white guy. It sucks, but it is reality. So deal with it. Reality bites, but a Republican in office for the next 4 years would bite a lot harder, and the spew coming out would reach even deeper than it already has.

Both are senators? Check Both have decades in that function? Check Thats all of their professional experience. And at least Biden was never involved in the Keating Five scandal. Newsflash being a POW or a veteran does not mean you deserve to be president. Actually it probably means you SHOULDN'T be one. Most POWs have shorter life spans and have mental problems. And since McCain is 72, you have to ask yourself why is grandpa seeking the most stressful office in the nation Why not?
