Biden Veep: Obamas choice

On the surface, Barack Obama’s choice of Joe Biden as his Vice Presidential running mate strikes me as pretty uninspired. It’s hard to imagine that it wins him an extra vote come November, though I think that sometimes the ability of a running mate to do that for any candidate is overstated. Biden’s obvious strengths as a politician—his foreign policy knowledge, his experience in DC—serves to plug some holes in Obama’s resume, in the same way Dick Cheney did for George W. Bush, but in so doing, they also draw attention to those holes. In particular, Biden’s inside-the-Beltway credentials as a long-serving Senator seems a funny trait for a candidate running on the promise of change from business-as-usual Washington politics to value.
