@akuma It could be a problem though. As a Republican it would be a problem I would like but Biden = experience and longtime DC insider. The GOP will undoubtedly show to great effect that Obama just needed what he is fighting against to equate his coin of change.

 

I agree, but any choice can backfire.  I just think this has a lower chance than most choices of backfiring.  That being said you probably won't have people getting that excited about it either.  But at least it brings more experience to Obama's corner, something many, even Democrats, have criticized him for.  There is a decent chance it will help with independents, but generally VP choices affect very little.

@Bolded,

QFT, I absolutely agree.

@The rest,

This is pretty much where I stand on the pick, he isn't going to change the race really.  With that said he does please some of the folks who wanted to see Obama go a bit more negative (Biden has some history of being fiesty) to "fight back", but I think that might be risky given his "above the fray" comments (which is a good thing imo).
