obama picks biden

If you are just now learning this, you need to seriously need to reconsider the order of websites you check.

While Biden represents continuity as much as Obama does change, it's a solid choice. He brings foreign policy experience and can stay out of Obama's way. That's all that's really necessary. As an added bonus, Delaware will now give Obama 99% support, rather than the 97% it would have given him with any other VP choice.

As a rule of thumb, if you have a strong Presidential nominee that can win on his own, you pick a VP that pretty much stays in the background. Ex: Cheney, Lieberman, Gore, Bush 41.

If you think the Presidential nominee is in trouble, you go after a VP that will help you win votes. Ex: Ferraro, Bentsen, Edwards to an extent.

Keeping this in mind, who will John McCain select? A pick like Rob Portman or Tim Pawlenty will say a lot more for J-Mac's confidence than a Romney choice would.

Lastly, A very sad picture of Chuck Hagel mockingly supporting Biden. He's the one in the mask. *tear*
