Joe,
Get the heck out of our county. We don't need you or want you here.

We DO need and want you here Joe, Welcome to Loudoun County.

Yes - bring Palin. She can speak much more easily to the intelligence level (or lack thereof) of Loudoun County.

Loudoun is not Obsama bin Biden's territory.

Darn it, I hope Joe Biden will be back soon because I want to see him! So disappointed I have a business meeting that morning or I would bet there cheering!
I always hoped Obama would pick Joe Biden. There could not be a more solid, capable choice for VP nominee and he has more than fulfilled my hopes. In fact, it feels to me now like Obama-Biden has always been the ticket -- just a really good fit.
I hope the crowd enjoys it and my thoughts will be with you guys. You go, Joe!

I can't get off work but keep coming back. We're on the cusp of a big victory!
Palins a failin' and McCain too.

We'll be there Joe! Finally a team that's looking out for us. With Barack, you, Jim and Mark fighting for us come January 2009, the Old Dominion will return to glory!

Can Michelle Obama come instead?

Why is someone Spanish (alvarorosa) making fun of black people? Way to be a minority and be racist.... Would you like it if people acted that way towards you?

Being a minoity doesn't mean I have to believe in someone who is as far to the left and Obama is. Hispanics don't fit in the mold you want us to be in. I don't agree with Obama's views, values and morals. I think he is wrong for America and should not be president. It has nothing to do with the color of one's skin or nationality.

better to have Biden than Palin.

Will we get another Kinnock speech? Do you take requests Joe? How about Kerry's 2004 concession speach, you hack!

Hey, NickinVA - maybe he should recycle that same old tired "and I just told them NO that bridge to nowhwere". Sorry, can't get that nasty screetchy voice affect in text but you probably have it echoing in your thick head. Please someone remind her that she supported that bridge until it became a public ridicule and SHE KEPT THE Fn MONEY.....Republicans are nothing but a bunch of chameleons. Oh, by the way...someone please tell John McCain that that our econonmy is NOT fundamentally sound.

The hate and viciousness of some of the comments suggest that a whole lot of wingnuts need some serious anger management and medication. get real Joe Biden is a public servant, show some decency!

You're the BEST and Welcome!

It's actually Jill and Joe Biden. I've heard it's a Women's Rally in particular. Looking forward to it.

Welcome Senator- Please help remind some of the undecideds what a VP candidate looks like.
.
Some of my neighbors are confusing a Vice Presidential Candidate with a hockey mom, which would be amusing were it not so dangerous for our country

Face it Lib-tards, passing over Hillary was Obama's death knell.
.
Adding Biden was a desperation move to add experience to the ticket (as Obama has none), and it provided about as much spark wet match.
.
Obama has a Messiah complex. It's all about him, and he didn't want to ride a Clinton into the Whitehouse. Noble, but arrogant ...

He is coming here to tell us OB should have picked Hillary! Thanks Joe, your the best!

Why is Hillary Clinton afraid to attack Sarah Palin? Also afraid to even appear at the same functions ...
.
It seems to me she's setting herself up badly for 2012 ...
