Biden

Biden is a decent choice for Obama. You sometimes worry about such a long sitting Senator because of the myriad of votes that can be used as ammunition, but McCain will have the same difficulty, so that should be a wash at worst.

There could be a problem if Biden proves to be a lot more presidential than Obama. That happened back in 1988 when lots of people would have rather voted for Lloyd Bentsen as opposed to Michael Dukakis. While Obama can come off as inexperienced and naive, you won't get that from Biden, but you cannot change the fact that it is Obama's name on the top of the ticket.

As for holding the job itself, I think Joe Biden would be a fine Vice-President.

You have to admit, however, it isn't a particularly "gutsy" pick.
