    Excellent choice

    Since Biden was my original choice for President before the Barack / Hillary show, I couldn't be more pleased.

    Biden has that rare quality of being a hardworking insider, but retaining his outsider appeal. I thought Obama did a very good job of answering the Rovian attacks quickly, but with Biden on his team the responses will not only be quicker, but the Republicans will be playing quite a bit of defense.

    Great job on your first big decision Barack!
