Joe Biden for VP

Before VP screener for the Obama campaign Jim Johnson resigned, a name at the top of his list had to be Deleware Senator Joe Biden.  Biden is a 65 year-old six term senator on the foreign relations comittee.  Biden would provide Obama with the much needed experience he needs on the ticket, particulary in foreign policy.

During the primary, I was very impressed with Biden, not his campaigning skills or his charisma, but his intelligence.  He struck me as far and above the smartest candidate.  He also stuck me as a very skilled debator.  The one downside with picking Biden is adding another liberal to an already liberal ticket, not to mention he is not the best campaigner in the world.  He tends to talk to much. 

He is certainly on my short list of VP candidates for the democratic ticket. 

Introduction

It was at a political march I was a leader in.

Hello everyone! 

I thought I would take my first post to let everyone know a little about myself.  My name is Elliott Pierce.  I am 19 years old.  I am a political science student at UTC.  I am very opinionated (hence the blog).  I like to think I am open-minded.  Some might call me liberal and indeed many of my opinions will fall under that umbrella, but I don’t make my opinions based on what the liberal talking points may be.  I am very politically active not only on the local level but also on the national level.  In addition to my work in politics, I also serve on the board of directors at a local healthcare center.  Finally, I am a supporter of Barack Obama. 

Over time I am sure I will say many things that many people will not agree with.  I try to base my opinions on facts though.  If you disagree with me that is perfectly fine, I love to debate.  That is why I started this blog, not only as an outlet for my opinions but also as a form of debate.  If I post something that may be factually incorrect please feel free to correct it. 

I hope everyone will be leaving comments on all of my posts.
