Biden's the Bomb

It was pretty amazing that the Obama Camp was able to keep Joe Biden's selection a secret for as long as they did! I knew the Big O was coming to Springfield to make the announcement; so nice, since he's the IL senator--until Jan. So what does Mr. Biden bring to the ticket? (Go here for more http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/23/AR2008082300890.html?hpid=topnews). During the Presidential debates, I was quite impressed with his oratory and international knowledge, both of which our nation is in desperate need. He's been in the Senate since '72 and is Chair of the Foreign Relations Committee. He's not afraid to speak out & challenge misconceptions with cold, hard facts--MSNBC has an exerpt from a June 22nd Meet the Press discussion at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26010055/?GT1=43001.
