[Vision2020] VP Nominee Joe Biden

I am not thrilled at Biden being the next VP. But regardless of a partially plagiarized speech 20 years ago, which most these politicians do, and his missed proper citation in law school in 1966, I think his character higher than that of John McCain who ditched his disabled wife and three kids for a girl 18 years his junior, and for the riches of her felonious father. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

If you are a liberal, they are "youthful indiscretions", have no
bearing on 
future performance and should be ignored.
If you are a conservative they are are indicators of future performance, are 
an indicator of future performance and should be discussed... loudly.

The same holds true in a vice-versa scenario.

Either way, if you are an independent this election is, once again, a no win 
situation with neither candidate suitable for the presidency.

Note to Tom:
Those awards you listed for Biden were all given well after graduation. 
Universities love to lavish medallions, ribbons, plaques and other honors on 
successful alumni in hopes of getting monetary gifts later down the road. 
They have nothing to do with his performance while in school.
