It’s Biden

Welcome to Liberal Conspiracy’s daily look at the political blogosphere. Please feel free to put your own recommendations in the comments, or you can send links for tomorrow’s review to tips[at]liberalconspiracy[dot]org

Huffington Post - Obama choo-choo-chooses the Senator from Delaware as his running mate. Joe Biden, a foreign-policy heavyweight (he’s chair of the mighty Senate Foreign Relations Committee), should boost the ticket in preparation for a long and dirty fight with McCain.

Politico - Hillary Stiffed! Apparently, the New York senator was never even vetted by Obama. You have to wonder what he could hope to find out that he doesn’t already know, but this might further spice-up the convention, where rumours of a coup still hang in the air.

Daily Kos - If you hadn’t heard, this week McCain dropped the mother of all clangers when he couldn’t answer the question: “how many houses do you own?” With America suffering economically, the GOP wingnuts are doing monkey-flips trying to spin this one.

the blue voice - After consistently ruling out any possibility of a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, the Bush administration adopts a timetable for withdrawal.

Tory Troll - Boris sends out for brown paper and sticky-tape, as he tries to keep his rickety administration together. Undertakers measuring Brown for his political coffin, might want to save time and call by City Hall on the way home.

The enemies of reason - Sweary and funny. Anton takes down Littlejohn (NSFW).

Jock Coats - Go Jamaica! That Olympic Medal table, by population.

The lovely Jennie’s up tomorrow. Bye. *waves*

I feel like I have to put on a spangly outfit to do the netcast tomorrow, now. Like a liberal version of The Lovely Debbie McGee…

In which case, I look forward to seeing your black bow tie, Paul - er, I mean, Aaron.
