It’s official: Joe Biden becomes Obama’s candidate for VP

August 23, 2008

Just announced this early Saturday morning, mainstream media outlets CNN, FOX, and MSNBC all confirm that Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) has been selected by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) for the vice-presidency of the United States. The senior senator from the tiny state of Delaware will appear with Obama later this morning at a rally in Lincoln, Illinois.

Perhaps best known for his foreign policy experience, it is a really good choice for Obama and having demonstrated his experience during the primary election debates, the American public are aware that with Biden’s help, Obama will be able to shore up his foreign policy to come close to rivaling that of John McCain. Unfortunately, it’s not the same as having the experience yourself, but if you have a surrogate with that experience, I suppose it’s good enough. Biden can be very blunt and straightforward and it appears that the image that will be presented during the general election is that Biden will unleash hell on McCain and the Republican party while Obama will still try and maintain his image of being regal and above all the fighting.

Congratulations Senator Biden on being selected. You’ll need to do some work to help Obama woo the Clinton faithful who would not vote for Obama, but being a Delaware resident for so many years, I’m proud that your selected.
