In case you've been hiding under a rock this morning

According to Larry King and the message I got from the Obama campaign in my inbox this morning, Joe Biden's been chosen as Barack's running mate. So far, pretty much all of the pundits I'd heard consider Biden an asset to the ticket, and it's no wonder why. After all, the polls have showed that the American public considers McCain stronger than Obama in regards to foreign policy, while Biden is incredibly experienced with that matter. On the subject of experience, Biden's thirty-five years in the senate may counterbalance Obama's relative inexperience (which conservatives have been capitalizing on).

The only issue with Biden is that he's opinionated, which can be a good or bad thing, but could render him unpredictable. Already, the McCain campaign has released an ad attacking Obama, using Biden's words from the primaries. Also, people have been mentioning the "scandalette" (my word) regarding Biden's college plagiarism. However, if we're going to talk about college, I could say a few things about McCain's years in the Naval Academy, and all his demerits there.

I guess the pressure's on McCain now to pick a running mate and deflect some of the attention towards him. Until then, I'll just be Biden' my time (sorry, couldn't resist the bad pun).
