Obama picks Biden

Ok, so Biden's been in Washington for 30 years. But he's grounded enough to take the train home to Delaware every night. His wife is a community college teacher. He's an acknowledged foreign policy wonk. Unlike many of my fellow liberal blogospherians, I'm not gonna complain about his votes for various things I haven't liked; he's probably voted for just as many I have liked in all his time in the Senate.

Some of my colleagues on the left side of the political spectrum are grumbling about the choice. Let me remind them of a phrase that Al Davis often uses: "Just Win, Baby."

I can live with Biden as long as we win.

My really BIG beef with Biden is his endorsing the "bankruptcy bill" which has been DEVASTATING to everyone but the Credit Card companies (who seem to all be incorporated in Delaware....)

Well, that's why he helped it pass; MBNA was one of the biggest employers in his state at the time, so it was constituent services of a sort. MBNA has since been bought by BofA, so many of the jobs it blackmailed politicians with have gone away anyway.
