万花筒 2008-08-25&-08-26 奥巴马指定竞选伙伴（在线收听）

CNN has learned that Barack Obama tonight offered the No.2 spot on the democratic ticket to the man you've been talking about all night, 65-year-old Democratic Senator Joe Biden of Delaware. We have two democratic sources telling this, we can not describe those sources because of the sensitivity of the matter but we have confirmed that Barack Obama has offered the No.2 spot on the ticket to Democratic Senator Joe Biden of Delaware.

Again, he is 65 years old, he was first elected to the Senate back in 1972, like Barack Obama, he teaches constitutional law. He got his law degree from Syracuse University, worth noting as we look at the battleground states ahead, that he lives in Delaware, but he was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Think back to the democratic primaries, that's the blue-collar greedy area where Hillary Clinton did so well and where Barack Obama still has a problem.

Candy and others have been saying all night, he is a scrappy guy, he's a fighter, he has strong support among Labor Unions on the domestic policy front and he also brings to the Barack Obama ticket something that many, especially the Republicans have been saying, is lacking. Detailed in years of experience in foreign policy and national security, so a big night, the official text massage will go out in the morning but Larry we have confirmed from democratic sources that Joe Biden has been offered and has accepted the No.2 spot on the democratic ticket tonight.
