How horribly biased has the AP become?

I don't even read their stupid headlines anymore.

Biden is a great pick and will handily beat anybody McCain can put together. Romney, Giuliani, Pawlenty... get ready for the pain.

Only spoiled sports and the repugnant ones would not like Obama's choice of Joe Biden. The repugnant ones quake in their little designer booties that Obama has chosen a tough liberal who won't shy away from trashing that false war hero who wants nothing but neverending war and tax cuts for himself and his elitist millionaire base.

Only Barack Obama and Joe Biden can bring honesty and integrity back to the White House, something that's been missing during the current tyranny.

Go Obama/Biden 08/12!

NO TO HILLARY & RADICAL FEMALE DEMOCRATS... — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:18:36 GMT

HOORAY TO OBAMA — HE HAS LIBERATED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WITH BIDEN AS VP.

When Obama wins the presidency without the overt support of the Clintons and the “Whining White Women” he will have liberated the Dem party from the grips of the ‘radical female faction’ of the party. Let them start their own party — the WWW Party.

He will also liberate the party of the ‘black grievance wing’ of the Dem party; the Rev. Jacksons and Sharptons, et al.

THIS WILL TRULY BE A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY. HOORAY FOR OBAMA. THE PARTY IS BACK!

I am terribly dissappointed by the biden pick. I proves only one thing, Obama is not an agent of change, he is a political insider who will do anything to win. Sound like anyone else?(Clintons). When he gets into office it will be the same, my way or the highway attitude. Change we can believe in right. Still an Obama supporter but you have to call it like it is.............

I am concerned that the Democrats don't know how to enjoy an election. They should be proud and excited that they have both an excellent presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate. If they keep complaining instead of celebrating, they will be responsible for another democratic loss. My goodness, folks, don't you know when you have it good. And, quite the Clinton stuff. Hillary lost the primary and everyone (including Bill Clinton) need to get over it. Also, why would Barack Obama consult Bill Clinton about his pick when Bill Clinton has done nothing but insult Barack Obama. Learn to be gracious, Bill.

Droppin' Science, Miami Fl — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:42:17 GMT

This is a superb selection on the part of Obama, he's displaying his pure genious yet again...

(IS IT JUST ME, OR IS THIS GUY SHOWING HOW TRULY SMART HE IS, AS WELL AS TO THE TYPE OF LEADER HE WILL BE???)

This balances out the ticket across the board. And not only that, but Biden's heart is in the right place...

What bother's me however is all the pundits saying how this might upset the Hillary supporters -and it may- but incase nobody else figured it out yet, she's not entitled... I've always personally held the Clinton's in high regard, and i'm workin' on getting it back, but this notion that she shouldv'e been consulted about ANYTHING is total nonsense...

Ya know what??? At the end of the day it's either going to be Obama, or McCain, and if Hillary's supporters can't get pass all of this for the sake of their party, their Country, and more importantly, their kids, Then go ahead and vote McCain... Or stay home, in which case is still a vote for McCain by default... {But over the next 4 years try realigning your priorities...}

I'm sure Obama can live with it, for after all he is about the people, and if they don't see that, then they'll undoubtedly get what they deserve...

(These FeministS need to realize that this election isn't about Hillary, or Obama... It's about OUR COUNTRY}

As a Nation we're about to enter into one of two doors. Which one will it be??? McCain has shown his intellectual capacity, and doesn't conceal his intentions on where he's willing to take our Country, but if the cynical folks can't see this, and to the point that it affects this election, then Oh well, we'll have to suck it up, keep our complaints to ourselves, and try again in another 4 years.

(...Or maybe 8 years, when the minority of this country begin its journey into becoming the majority, which without doubt will prove wiser than our parent's generation)

This is truly the Hillary I would have gladly voted for in 2004. She just did not get the urgency of "now" I guess...sigh. Making me nostalgic of her 90's class and swagger. If only she wasn't listening to her idiot staff and husband in the primaries, showed more of her 90's grace instead of her millenium nastiness, she could be announcing her vp pick today. Obama will tap her to be the greatest Secretary of State ever though, and that is a much better position than VP. Biden will continue to serve our country well as VP.

Obama No Change? — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:23:17 GMT

Is it just me, or does the quote below imply that Obama is willing to abandon his platform of change just to win? In other words, screw everyone who voted for change-- I'm going to do whatever it takes to win. Seems like that's what his insider was saying. Am I missing something?

"In other words, Obama is willing - even eager - to risk what got him this far if it gets him to the White House."

KPI - Obama supporter, hoping for change — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:25:14 GMT

People might question Biden being a "Washington insider" because he's been in DC and in the Senate so long... but who better to advise Obama re: how to change the system than someone who's been in the thick of it? I believe Obama will consistently point the way to a new kind of politics, the kind of politics we need to get the country back on track, but he's going to need help in getting the rest of Washington to follow that lead. Biden could be just what Obama needs to effectively change the way Washington gets the job done.
