VP-Elect Sen. Joe Biden has tapped VP Gore veteran Ron Klain to be his chief of staff.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/...

Earlier in his career, he clerked for Supreme Court Justice Byron White during the Court’s 1987 and 1988 Terms and worked on Capitol Hill, where he was Chief Counsel of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.

Klain had also previously been close to Sen. Biden through his service as counsel to the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary Committee, when Sen. Biden was its Chairman.

Ron Klain was portrayed by actor Kevin Spacey in the 2008 film "Recount."

Congrats, Mr. Klain - you've got a great new boss!

Found this in the NY press:

"Three days after Elizabeth Edwards made a health-care reform speech in DC without her wedding ring on, a source tells the New York Post that her cheating hubby, former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, is no longer living with his cancer-stricken wife and that the couple has separated. Elizabeth's reps didn't return requests for comment." (Richard Johnson and staff, Page Six, New York Post.)

Although I volunteered for a different presidential candidate, (Biden) I knew many Edwards supporters all across the country, who made contributions to his campaign, in cash and in volunteer time. These were women and men, young and old, all races, all religions, working on that campaign day and night, thinking this candidate was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I can't even imagine how they felt when the news of his affair broke; how embarrassed, humiliated, and angry they must be.

There's an old saying, what goes around, comes around. With his career in the Democratic Party gone from sight, John Edwards is a true example of this stellar adage.

Elizabeth, we love you....keep the faith!

Democratic VP nominee Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) addressed a campaign crowd in Melbourne, Florida (on Florida's Space Coast) Tuesday night, responding to Sen. John McCain's comments about the economy and promoting the Obama-Biden policy plan to invest $2 billion in America's space program.

"The Bush Administration has left our space program in a very difficult position, and John McCain, as chairman of the (Senate) Commerce Committee, has not helped," remarked Sen. Biden. "He oversaw the plans to retire the Space Shuttle before a replacement was ready."

Here is a portion of his speech:

(Sep. 3): In a speech given tonight at the Republican National Convention, former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee snarkily announced to the crowd that his party's vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, won more votes when she ran for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than the votes that Democratic Senator Joe Biden won in the 2008 presidential race.

I really wish that instead of checking his coat at the door, that Mr. Huckabee had checked his facts instead.

Today here in New York City there are two major newspapers with editorial page articles on prospective VPs. The NY Daily News Editorial today is "Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!" and the New York Times OpEd by David Brooks is titled "Hoping It's Biden."

Brooks opened his OpEd with this quote:
"Barack Obama has decided upon a vice-presidential running mate. And while I don’t know who it is as I write, for the good of the country, I hope he picked Joe Biden."

"There are other veep choices," Brooks writes. "Tim Kaine seems like a solid man, but selecting him would be disastrous. It would underline all the anxieties voters have about youth and inexperience. Evan Bayh has impeccably centrist credentials, but the country is not in the mood for dispassionate caution."

Here is the Web link to the full OpEd:
http://www.nytimes.com/...

As a former online comm mgr for Sen. Biden's presidential campaign Web site, JoeBiden.com, I can hope that whoever Sen. Obama chooses will be able to step with confidence into that spot, as Sen. Biden says, "because there will be no margin for error."
