Testing the waters in 2007
Joe
Biden, who recently said "I am not running for vice president,
and will refuse the spot on anyone's ticket. I 'd rather stay as
Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee than be vice
president," is Obama's vice president pick.
I'm surprised, for this reason. If you've had to job hunt after you're
45, or so, you do not want to see a young guy making the hiring
decision. They do not want to "hire their" father, and risk being
preached to by an older, more experienced person. Of all the guys
in the pool, and Hillary, Biden is by far the smarmiest, preachingest,
know-it-allist person Obama could have picked. I'll guess that
his inflated ego overcame any such concern. Or, Biden represents
the white father Obama has always wanted a spanking from.
But, hey, my opinion doesn't matter. What you want to know is what Keith Olberman, and by extension the media are saying.

Olbermann hailed the “very powerful combination” of Obama and Biden based on joining Obama's
“vision” of restoring America's image in the world and Biden's selfless
“fervor to do good” enabled by his “18,000 good ideas” to achieve Obama's noble goal.
