In reply to the discussion: Over 300 DNC delegates, members urge Biden to pick Bass for VP [View all]NurseJackie

I hope they get over it soon and learn to move on. (These are probably the same contingent of sour-bodies who thought it was appropriate to BOOOO! at civil-rights icon John Lewis when he was speaking at the last convention. What a disgusting and disrespectful display that was.)

At this point I think she'd be a lead weight what with the Scientology/Castro business.

The right is already pushing the idea that moderate Biden is just a bait-and-switch
