Tina Fey for Vice President
Fey actually understands Palin -- well enough to be a dead-wringer for her -- so could actually mount an intelligent, effective attack. Unlike, say, the current Democrats.

As Americans debate family values and experience levels, Israelis have also been focused on the vice presidential candidates. They have been sizing up Biden and Palin according to their foreign policy stances and political affiliations.

Biden's acceptance speech proved what the citizens of Delaware have known for a long time: Biden is a regular Joe with all-American family values who also happens to be a Senator.

The past seven-plus years have shown us that "foreign policy experience," in and of itself, isn't all it's cracked up to be. For Exhibit A of this look no further than George Bush's most "experienced" foreign policy advisor: Dick Cheney. How's that working out?

It has become increasingly clear that achieving a serious, binding international emissions treaty is even more politically implausible a task than passing serious, binding domestic legislation.

After Hillary dropped out, I lost my enthusiasm for this presidential campaign. But I'll tell you what. The fire in the belly that these two guys evinced on that stage today actually got me excited again.

John McCain invited me to a convention-watching party! I think I'll go. What will my BFF Obama think? Who cares? I haven't received a single text or email from him during the month of August. Not one!

the McCain campaign is running a cute new ad featuring some snippets of Joe Biden questioning Barack Obama's experience and praising John McCain. Trouble?

Biden knows that America is not just a military power but also a peacemaker. And he knows that American ideals must be tempered by a hard-headed realism about the way the world really works.

Biden's competence will help Obama be able to remain Obama. Insider or not, Biden is liked by the country -- and he's smart.

Biden understands the American value of separating personal faith from public duty in our democracy, and his positions on sexual and reproductive health issues demonstrate that clearly.

Where are the disagreements? Mostly over trade and immigration. Biden, initially, was a strong support of so-called "free trade" but he seems to have shifted his position a bit in the past few years.

Biden told Stewart that the "word that really got me in trouble" was calling Obama "clean....I should have said fresh. What I meant was he's got new ideas."

Enough with the talk about filling in the foreign affairs gap. This just accepts that we are going to live out yet ANOTHER campaign the way the right wants us to -- on their turf.

Unlike Cheney, Biden believes in explaining his decisions and thought processes in public. And explaining. And explaining.

When I think of the boring prospect of adding Joe Biden to the ticket, I look back fondly on the vice presidential candidacy of Lloyd Bentsen.

I'm so sleepy, I can make out the text but even thinking about what Obama and Biden are going to have get busy doing in the next few months and, if they win, in the next few years -- no, I can't go there, too exhausting.

Biden is on the ticket soley to parry McCain's hit point that Obama is a greenhorn on foreign policy and national security. Time will tell whether Biden will be much good in doing that.
