In an article in the New York Times, David Axelrod, Barack Obama's chief campaign strategist, spoke about the addition of Senator Joe Biden to Obama's D.C. ticket as VP. “It’s a very personal decision,” Axelrod said. “He approached it in a very serious, sober and reasoned way.”
Well, yeah. I'm not entirely familiar with the living situation once in the White House, but you can be sure that choosing a VP you can get along with is a good idea. But, in this case, perhaps Big Barry should have taken a couple shots before choosing his running mate, because Senator Biden seems to be an altogether too sober selection. Where Obama "falls short" according to most (experience, age, gray hairs, white skin, etc.), Biden helps--he's essentially the liberal parallel to Dick Cheney (although to my knowledge Biden has yet to shoot anyone hunting). But, in terms of fitting the Illinois Senator's calls for change, Biden fits about as well as "mom jeans." (Check out Dad Jeans while you're at it.)
