From former Democratic rivals to Republican admirers to the top-of-the-ticket opponent, politicians begin to weigh in on the selection of Joe Biden as Barack Obama's running mate.
In naming my colleague and friend Joe Biden to be the vice presidential nominee, Barack Obama has continued in the best traditions for the vice presidency by selecting an exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant. Senator Biden will be a purposeful and dynamic vice president who will help Senator Obama both win the presidency and govern this great country.
I am very excited that Senator Obama has selected Senator Biden to be his running mate. Senator Biden is a tremendous leader and a great complement to Senator Obama and his candidacy. He has worked as a committed public servant, has a proven track record, and understands the complex challenges facing our nation.
The Obama-Biden ticket provides the United States with a new and meaningful dialogue with world leaders and will improve America's standing with our allies and the global community.
As a governor, I know the value of having reliable partners who are willing to tackle tough challenges in Washington. The failed economic policies of the last 8 years have left states across the country struggling with budget shortfalls. Even here in Virginia, we are facing tough economic times. An Obama-Biden administration will give me and governors across the country the kind of partnership we need to deliver results for America's working families.
While families across America are looking for results and solutions-oriented leaders, Senator John McCain offers more of the same failed policies of the last eight years. The Obama-Biden ticket offers Americans a clear choice and a real opportunity for change.
Joe Biden is the right partner for Barack Obama. His many years of distinguished service to America, his seasoned judgment and his vast experience in foreign policy and national security will match up well with the unique challenges of the 21st Century. An Obama-Biden ticket is a very impressive and strong team. Biden's selection is good news for Obama and America.
I congratulate Senator Barack Obama on his selection of my friend, Senator Joe Biden, to be his vice-presidential running mate. I have enjoyed for many years the opportunity to work with Joe Biden to bring strong bipartisan support to United States foreign policy.
I share the disappointment of many Hoosiers that my partner in the Senate, Evan Bayh, was not selected on this occasion, but I believe he will continue to have widespread support for higher office during many years ahead.
All the talk today is about my opponent’s selection of his running mate. To his new running mate, my congratulations and I’ll get back to you real soon on your debating opponent..
