Obama-Biden

I'm perfectly content with an Obama-Biden ticket. The best take on the Biden choice is this one by the TPM crew. However, as I've indicated, I'm worried that Biden's foreign policy credentials, which are taken as a given by the DC pundit class, won't impress voters much. Thirty-five years on Senate Foreign Relations is only impressive when you know what being on Senate Foreign Relations means, and when you care about committee assignments.

Also, as a one-time opposition researcher myself, Biden scares me a bit. But the Obama campaign no doubt had their oppo researchers scour Biden's record before the pick was made, and if they're satisfied that there are no game-changers waiting to be unearthed, then they're probably right.
