Well, I was wrong. Obama, true to the mainstream reporter's prognostications, and false to mine, picked U.S. Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate. If he wins, it will be a good pick, if he loses, it will be another blunder by a Democrat, especially if Biden flubs, which he is somewhat prone to doing. I think he has improved in the last few years.

My only question is why would you pick the guy who had to drop out first for lack of support and not the person who had as much support as you had? Is this about personal comfort or about winning? In politics we should be playing to win.

Ok, now Mr. Joe, show us what you got. Step up to the plate and do your job and do it well, or else - you will be doomed as a failure. In Biden's favor, one has to say that he probably didn't become the "biggest loser" in the Democratic primary race because people didn't like him - I think most everyone does respect him, his experience, and his knowledge. So, that will help him in the long run. But, he wasn't the number one, two, three or four pick of most Democrats, and that says something too. Biden's knowledge of foreign affairs will help Obama, but will it help him more than it will hurt him that he has snubbed females? I'm not sure. Hopefully this was all orchestrated with Clinton's participation, and she can honestly go to her supporters and convince them to support Obama. If it is felt that Clinton was snubbed on personal reasons, that is going to backfire on Obama and the election, which could be a landslide for Obama, could be lost. Surely Obama is smarter than that!
