It looks like Obama is finally ready to announce his VP. Many are saying it will occur on or before Thursday, and that Biden is the most probable pick. While this would be a defensive move that acknowledges Obama's weakness, I really do not like Biden, so I hope he can find someone less obnoxious.

If in fact it is Biden I'll give credit to Obama [insert vomiting sounds here]. He certainly isn't picking him because he'll bring him a state...I mean come on, Delaware? No offense Delaware. Saying that, I would have to assume he would select Biden in an effort to collect strong advisors around him? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I can't stand Biden myself but there's no arguing he doesn't have some credentials when it comes to foreign policy, perhaps more than anyone in the Democratic party at this point. At least he wouldn't be picking his most trusted advisor...his grandmother (re: Saddleback Forum debate answer). smile

Only one problem...that keeps resurfacing for BO and the DNC...imho, Biden is more qualified to be President...and makes BO look like the weak choice that he is!...
