Biden is the wrong pick for several reasons. The first and most important being that Obama walked right into the McCain trap. McCain has been hammering on his lack of experience especially in regards to foreign policy. So instead of sticking to his campaign slogan of "change" Obama instead chooses someone of McCain's choosing, not his own. If he was really the candidate of change he would have chosen Hagel, Sieblus, Kaine or Bayh. Instead he allowed McCain's rhetoric to make his choice for him

Second, Joe Biden with all of his experience, has a great big mouth. You can be guaranteed that he will say quite a few things between now and the General election that is going to cause Obama to have to pry his foot out of his mouth with a crowbar.

Third, Biden is on record stating that Obama is in no way ready to be POTUS. Sure it may just be the typical primary BS, but you can be sure McCain won't be picking Romney, for this reason, as well as many others.

Fourth - Biden is on record saying he would be honored if asked by McCain to be his running mate, and would do it.

Obama is going to have to go through the next few weeks with his own running mate the central figure in McCain's ads.

Obama just showed how truly inexperienced he is, and needs to get a few more years under his belt.

I also believe this supports my thoughts that McCain is going to choose Lieberman as his running mate. He is going to hit Obama on the fact that he really isn't the "change" candidate because he picked someone that has been aroung washington for too long. If McCain wants to cement his "maverick" status, he will do as he has done in the past, working in a bi-partisan manner, and reach across the aisle for his running mate. He has already laid the groundwork for having a Pro-choice VP. I think the far right conservatives are scared enough of Obama, and now Biden, that they won't stay home, and are going to vote for McCain regardless.

Hillary's supporters can now ensure a McCain win, justifying their vote saying they weren't voting for McCain they were voting for Lieberman. A McCain victory will ensure Hillary can run again in 2012. Waiting for 2016 is too much of a long shot.
