Biden wasn't joking either, because he has a connection with Indian-Americans.

Biden will be a passionate, smart, articulate defender of Obama who will attack McCain while Obama can stay above the fray. The Dem version of Cheney, without the darth vader motif.
Part of Steve Schmidt's (ie, McCain's) strategy is to attack Obama, drive down his support, try to draw him into a tit-for-tat exchange that undermines the image of Obama as a new kind of politician, one that avoids the historic negative business-as-usual of modern politics. Biden is clean, has unquestioned, proven (personal) family values, can help support Obama where Hillary was strong, ie, the NE. If McCain choose Romney, the two of them are worth what... $350 million, have who-knows-how-many houses, easy to portray as fundamentally out of touch, completely unaffected by economic hard times, really unaware that many others are struggling. Biden's a good choice, probably the best available. OK, OK... the hair needs serious help. |

It's so funny how Biden became the best choice available as soon as Obama picked him. For months and months it was Edwards, Bayh, Warner, Richardson, Kaine who were the best available.
Suddenly, it's Biden. How fortunate for Obama.

LOL - what's that supposed to mean? I didn't like any of those people, except for Edwards who for a while I thought was an interesting & possible attractive choice. (Good thing I'm not in charge of vetting!)
