While my first choice for VP was a dark horse (former Senator Sam Nunn), Joe Biden is a solid choice. By picking Biden Obama demonstrated, once again, that he gets it.
Apart from the foreign policy expertise (foreign leaders call him) and senatorial gravitas that comes with being in the senate since 1972, this clip shows why Biden's a good pick. He gives Obama's campaign a sorely needed gunslinger. Biden will help put McCain's campaign on the defensive since he's so good with the media-friendly sound bytes.
This clip shows why McCain's hand will be forced by Biden. He's going to be both a great defender of Obama, and an attack dog. He's sharp and is willing to express his contempt for people like Bush and McCain.
For us political junkies, this will definitely make the remainder of the campaign a fun show to watch.
