It’s official and it’s Joe Biden

Barack made what has to be one of his smartest moves so far; he has officially announced that Joe Biden is his VP choice like I mentioned in my previous post.

Officially news broke about 10 minutes ago. Un-officially news somewhat got broken when ABC found out that the secret service had been dispatched to Biden’s home at bit before midnight eastern time.

I cant help but feel that letting the cat out of the bag at 2:30AM wasn’t the plan and someone just said “screw it, lets do it!” and the site and text went out considering the media had already broke the news and so that the Obama supporters can still feel a little more important. In any case its official, it’s exciting and I knew it’d come earlier than expected.

Obama’s campaign is going to make an official statement shortly which I’m looking forward to receiving.

Joe Biden, Obama’s VP He was my choice, now I’m worried.

According to ABC News US Secret Service is on Way to Joe Biden’s House. Kaine and Bayh are officially out and I’m just left wondering; what now? Among those who get to listen to my rants on politics, there is no secret that I’ve been talking about Biden as a great choice as Obama’s VP, now it seems like Joe’s been picked and while it’s great for Obama to have someone on his ticket who actually knows a damn thing about foreign policy –unlike himself, it’s going to be up to the Republican VP choice to knock Joe Biden on his ass while campaigning and debating.

Joe Biden isn’t a sissy and he sure as hell knows what he’s talking about when he opens his mouth. He’s the type of guy that Republicans don’t want to come up against due to their popularity and strengths, the old-school Democrats. If chosen, he’s bringing a lot of credibility to the Obama ticket and the Republican VP choice needs to know his stuff, Mitt Romney seems logical and while not my favorite choice, he could surely out-debate Biden.

Joe Biden has a long history and there’s a lot to like about the guy and a long story, with some sadness added due to his wife and infant dying in a car accident when he was first elected to the senate.

Assuming Biden is the choice (because nothing is official) I’m not done with the VP topic. And finally; one line, voters vote for the top of the ticket so Biden will help but can’t solve everything if he’s really the pick.
