I am really surprised. I think it’s a bad choice. Which I’m happy about, but Wow, what a poor choice. Obama’s camp seems to get dumber by the minute.
Biden’s foreign policy acumen will only call attention to Obama’s lack. People who like and respect Biden will be saying it should be Biden-Obama, not the reverse.
And Biden’s huge ego and propensity for Big Talkie-Talkie will be like extra sprinkles on the buttery frosting on the super rich cake of Obama’s endlessly ebulient speechifying. At first people will eagerly eat it up but then come the inevitable stomach aches. And regret. Plus, Biden is sure to get carried away and commit some major gaffes (he always does - wait and see).
I’m sure Biden will give a great speech at the convention, but I don’t think he will bring many Undecideds or McMaybes to the table, so ultimately What Good Is he to the ticket?

The choice is a non-factor to me. I’m still leaning towards either Chuck Baldwin or sitting out since the so-called major parties don’t offer anything different or better for that matter.
