PLEASE Let it Be Joe Biden or Tim Kaine
—
Could Obama's VP pick seriously be this lame? I'm just passing on the latest I'm hearing--that Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) is moving up on the list of potential running mates for presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). While Obama's heart may go towards Virginia Gov.

Many lefty bloggers are pro-Biden, but Kos says that "even if we stipulate that ...

Look at them, trying to put out the fire.
QandO — It’s hard not to notice the contrasts. Even before Obama picked Biden, Republicans were begging Obama to choose him. When Biden was selected, there were already several parallel narratives showing that he was, among other things, more exercised about a McCain candidacy than an Obama candidacy. And it was plain as day that his comparatively long experience in the Senate – extremely long, actually – would be unflattering beside Obama’s.
