Nevada Senator Harry Reid on Joe Biden's nomination
Las Vegas, NV- Nevada Senator Harry Reid made the following statement today in response to Senator Obama's
naming of Senator Joe Biden as his running mate on the 2008 Democratic
Presidential ticket:
"Joe Biden has been fighting his entire career for the change that
Senator Obama champions. He is a dedicated family man who has been an
effective Chairman of both the Foreign Affairs and Judiciary
Committees, has been a sage voice on many of the toughest foreign
policy issues of our time, and has long been a strong advocate for
protecting American families and making our communities safer.
"Senator Obama has once again demonstrated sound judgment in selecting
Senator Biden as his running mate. After eight years of an
administration that refuses to level with the American people,
President Obama and Vice President Biden will finally give America the
real straight talk we need and needed change that we can believe in.
"As someone who also believes in the power of renewable energy, Joe
Biden is also the right choice for Nevada. Senator Biden knows that by
investing in a clean energy revolution, we can create thousands of jobs
in our state, provide affordable and reliable power and reduce our
reliance on fossil fuels."
