Obama / Biden

Although the delivery was a little botched, the announcement of Sen. Joe Biden as our pick for Vice President was still pretty cool. You couldn't have asked for a better match to Obama. I think a lot of Democrats, me included, had him on our short list of early candidates in the primary, but wrote him off due to the lack of fundraising. However, he's back and I couldn't be happier.

There aren't many people Obama could have chosen that can match Biden's knowledge and experience on foreign relations. Heck, even Republicans like the guy. Our very own Republican Senator Richard Lugar praised Biden in a written statement. David Brooks, who isn't exactly a full-time friend to Democrats, praised Biden yesterday in a glowing Op-Ed for the New York Times. Brooks highlighted Biden's working-class roots, honesty, loyalty and experience.

I think Biden will be awesome in debates and will add some spontaneity and even more excitement to the campaign, not to mention he will be a great VP. I'm definitely looking forward to nominating Biden on Wednesday night.
