Discuss :)

I voted No, as I don't think another hawkish white old man is what we need and Biden has always struck me as a bit of a blowhard who likes to talk too much. But then again, this is probably a reaction to Obama's slip in the polls.

It should have been the other way around: Biden-Obama. He brings a lot of experience and a lot of doors will remain open to him. IF Obama uses him effectively, which will remain to be seen.

Not to mention with the re-launch of the cold war a handful of years ago, his foreign relations experience will be a big plus.

Ergh.... I feel so out of the loop with this guy. My friends were talking about how Obama picked him for VP, and I didn't even know who he was.

Based on some of the issues I saw on those sites...He seems okay I guess..

It is a large change for the public to accept non white man as President how much change do you think the voter will accept all at once?
