I wonder why BO chose Biden? He's such a smart-ass. Biden probably goes down well with liberal types, and maybe even with the younger crowd. But I can't imagine the Biden pick will help BO very much older males, in other words, Republicans and independents.
Males in their 50s (like me) mainly remember Biden for two episodes. First, as a plageriest and liar from his first whack at presidential politics. SEcond, as a smar-ass Kennedy wanna-be from the Bork hearings.
Biden probably thinks he brings national security gravitas to the ticket, but corect me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he ever served a day in the military. So how he blunts the huge McCain advantage in that area is beyond me.
What looked a few months ago like a slam dunk Democratic victory in November, now looks like a pick 'em.
