CNN is the only cable network running a LIVE show; they are reporting that all indicators point to Joe Biden as Obama's pick. I got an ALERT! via e-mail a couple of minutes ago from our talk radio station in Indy, WXNT, stating that it is a simple process of elimination, now that Kaine, Bayh and Chet Edwards have been informed they are not Obama's choice.
Also, a Secret Service detail has been dispatched to Biden's house, probably the most telling sign.
So how does Obama/Biden '08 look on a bumper sticker? Does it roll of the tongue easily? Very superficial questions, but probably "Yes."
Much more crucially, does Biden have the chops to be VP? Yes, as much as any Democrat does. Lots of foreign policy experience, though not the kind I care for. I know he and Jesse Helms were good friends; Helms was Foreign Relations Committee chairman and Biden served as the ranking Democrat during Helms' tenure in the mid to late '90's and early 00's. Prior to that, my guess is that their roles were reversed.
The plagiarism of the Neil Kinnock speech when Biden ran for President in 1988 is going to come back to bite him, as well it should! And of course, I can't help but recall his comment a little over a year ago that Obama is "clean". :)
Just random thoughts about it all.
