I've always liked Joe Biden.

I hate that as the Senator fromd Delaware he has been Mr. MBNA. But beyond that: he's done so much good with his position and has a record that any democrat would be proud of IMO.

MOST important: Joe Biden has the stature to hurl zingers that will cut down the McCain ticket and be instantly credible. He's the guy who could say "Rudy Giuliani, he just needs a noun, a verb, and 9/11" and get away with saying that about the hero of 9/11 because (1) it'd been true and (2) he has the stature and history and most of all the audacity to cut through the bullshit.

I also like what it says about the Obama campaign: they know they have to get back to trending upward and they know they need to go offensive and Joe Biden is a fighter. Of all the names constantly mentioned: only Hillary Clinton would play ball as hard IMO.

Barack Obama needs that right now. He needs a candidate that has the stature to deliver the punches with him; and that is what Joe Biden will do for him.

Right now the Republicans anticipated this and were out with an ad and have succeded with Mr. Ron Fornier the AP dude who wanted to work for McCain in saying this was a weak choice: the convention and the rally today will answer that charge. And the Obama camp will have a rebuttal to that ad up by end of day.

The houses flap has shown the Obama camp understands that Schmidt/Rove & Co. have made this a street fight and Joe Biden means Barack Obama is reaching for the brass knuckles IMO.

I have a lot of hope that every day of this convention will be a repudation of McCain-Bush poliices and defining the Republican ticket. Joe Biden will help to do that because he speaks definitvly and authortativly: and for all his gaffes you come away liking the guy.

I'm very happy with this pick: for not only political reasons but governing priorites as well.
