Obama's Great Choice

Biden for Vice President. Obama made a great choice.

Biden is very much a guy that will speak his mind. He doesn't pull any punches. He will be a great asset to the ticket. This from the story in the Post about Biden's speech:

Biden said McCain--a longtime friend of his--has "yielded to the very Swift Boat politics he once deplored" during the course of the current race. And he made fun of McCain for being unaware of how many homes he owns, saying McCain cannot understand what struggling Americans discuss at their kitchen tables.

"He'll have to worry which of the seven kitchen tables to sit at," Biden said.

In characteristic language, Biden said some people accuse him of speaking too colloquially -- and then proceeded to do it some more.

"There's something about this guy, there's something about Barack Obama, that allows him to bring people together," Biden said. "It's been amazing to watch him, but then again, that's been the story of his whole life."

I think Obama and Biden will make a great team. They have the ability to reinforce each others strengths. While at the same time, the differences they have in style and experience benefit each other.

Most important the ticket is in place. Now it's time to go forward and win in November!
