Barack Obama selected Senator Joseph Biden as his Vice-Presidential running mate earlier in the week for the Democrat Party bid for the 2008 White House.
A telling choice in many ways and possibly a turning point for the worse for the campaign. It appears increasingly obvious that the Obama-Clinton ticket would have been highly conflictual in office, but devastating in winning the 2008 election.
Biden, by virtue of having been around for a long time has accumulated political baggage of obvious interest to the Republican rival, John McCain.
It is surprising that the choice was not for a younger governor or senator to reinforce the change message. "politics making for odd bedfellows" is still relevant obviously.
