Pick Joe Biden: Good on Civil Liberties, Friendly to Hollywood

Considering that most VPs prior to Cheney ended up stuck spending most
of their tenures in policy-shaping exploratory committees, and
considering that Biden's already got a reputation for jetting all over
the world and trying to get his hands into foreign policy debates this
is bad, bad news. Way I read the articles above, Biden would have
illegalized numerous open source projects including Rockbox and
multiple ports of Linux/NetBSD/whatever to DRM-laden embedded systems.
Recent news doesn't paint McCain as being much better, and there just
isn't much to go off of concerning Obama.

Which way will you swing? Anyone gonna put odds on the KCLUG reaching
a consensus-based endorsement? :)
