    Well it would help him get their votes, but, Uncle Fester, if he doesn't need their votes, then what's the problem?

    Hi AKA good to hear from you. I have no special insight into the Obama Camp's thinking, but it would seem to be a basic calculation to chose the VP that brought you the most news votes while losing the least. It could be they feel Biden (or whomever) results in a larger net net. Thinking that Hillary only brings positives would be wishful thinking.
