KING: Congresswoman, a very knowledgeable guy, whether you disagree or agree, a very knowledgeable guy.
BLACKBURN: He is acknowledgeable guy. I think everyone would admit he's poured himself and his work into foreign policy and is known for following through on studying positions, arriving at different position, even though in my opinion they're the wrong positions.
I think what you saw with the Obama campaign was an admission they do not have the footing, the surefootedness to address foreign policy issues and international relations issues and therefore, they made a choice of going with Joe Biden, which really seems an odd choice when you say here is someone, a campaign going to be run about change. But then you go and you have an institutionalist who has been in the U.S. Senate since they were 30 years old.
And then you begin to look at it that way and, Larry, you see someone who at their universe of experience, of life experiences, even though they study, even though they pour themselves into foreign policy issues, then their life experience is that they're drawing from is a bit more limited than you would want to have the number two in command have as their life experiences. I just think it's an odd choice, actually.
