The long wait is over. At 3:08 AM Friday night/Saturday morning, I received the long awaited text message. Joe Biden, running mate. Duh. As previously leaked to the press hours before. While long awaited, it was not unknown. Hell, it was the obvious choice. Except in one aspect.
Of course, Biden is the experienced Senator from Delaware. He has foreign policy under his belt and fills in the "holes" in Obama's platform. He looks presidential, or maybe I should say vice-presidential? But that's the problem. In the campaign that has been sold as "change", the chunk of it is now "old". Biden is old school Washington. Maybe the outskirts of it, but he's been part of the mess for 35 years.
This of course leads to the convention this week and waiting for McCain's choice.
