This guy contradicts himself after everything he says.

JOE BIDEN?! WHAT'S HE ADD TO THE TICKET?! NO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE! ... or maybe he's been a governor...I can't remember.

I'm 99% pro-Biden

Having said that WTF. I went out drinking tonight on the presumption that the VP pick wasn't coming. No text message, nothing. WTF. I come home to news that Biden is assured!

... Where's my text message?! Lamest system of notification ever - next time use a bat signal that just projects Biden's name into the sky.

Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee. Watch the first Obama-Biden really live at 3pm ET on www.barackobama.com Spread the word!

Anyway, on the subject of Biden as a gaffe machine, I think that's been a little overplayed, and to his advantage. It's mentioned every time his name is brought up, so the bar is incredibly low. At this point he can be barely coherent and blow away media expectations.

And really, a lot of his gaffes stand out not because they're entirely shocking statements in and of themselves, just the fact that you don't expect them to come from a politician.

I think what people are labeling as gaffes will actually play well in places like western PA and Ohio. He's not afraid to speak his mind at all, even on topics where politicians are supposed to tread lightly. I honestly think he will win the very awful "who do you wanna have a beer with" test against anyone else on either ticket.

Yes it will register. Probably 2-5 points up.

Between this and the convention there should be a good financial bump too. I've held off because the campaign must have sent me a dozen emails proclaiming opting out of public financing as some heroic decision instead of the hypocrisy it is, and I didn't want to reward them for treating me like an idiot. That's the best fund raising appeal they could come up with? There just hasn't been much exciting out of the campaign in a long time, until now.

Clark really is the man (his two books, Waging Modern War and Winning Modern War, are great examinations of the USA's geopolitical and economic status on the international arena) - I also soundly applaud his aversion to realpolitik - but Biden is probably the correct choice for VP. It's a position that's needed for several months and not much after, so I wouldn't worry too much if you think this will turn into a moderation of Obama's standards. I'd like to see Clark become a Senator personally.

And I'm quite sure Hillary is happy with not being made VP. If Obama loses, she'll be able to campaign with "I told you so" and "We need experience" in four years; additional to this, the perceived "VP snub" from Obama would push the knife further in the back of his chances of future election. If he wins and stays two terms, she's guaranteed the next term of presidency, or at least, the nomination at this point. Then again, as with Obama, someone could come from nowhere. (let's place Clark there to complete the dream run)
