Chairman Van Hollen’s Statement on Sen. Joe Biden Being Named Sen. Obama’s VP
DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen released the following statement on Senator Barack Obama's selection of Senator Joe Biden as his running mate:With his devotion to family, love of country, and determination to create a more prosperous future, Senator Joe Biden's values are America's values.
In Joe Biden, Barack Obama gets a uniquely qualified candidate for change. As Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Biden is one of America's foremost experts on the global challenges facing our nation. Having overcome the very worst of life's adversities, Senator Biden understands the pain that families are feeling and knows the way forward through tough times.
Obama-Biden will be a powerful force for change and an important partner in growing our Democratic Majority in Congress. With Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and a deep roster of Democratic House candidates committed to forging a New Direction, America has a clear choice this November between continuing the Bush-McCain status quo or the Democratic agenda for change.

I will be writing in Hillary Clinton, because she was completely disrespected and mistreated during this entire campaign. The powers that be decided from the beginning that they wanted Obama, so they downplayed Hillary’s success. Why? I don’t know, but since Obama chose someone besides to be his running mate, he’s OUT in my book.
