    Game over

    I like Sen. Biden. I really do. However, Obama just lost the election. He picked someone with perennial foot in mouth disease who has stated publicly that Obama isn't ready and that John McCain is a great man. To backtrack on those comments will make him look like a two-faced fool.

    This was the conventional pick. And it was a mistake. The Republicans are going to have a field day with this one. The only thing saving Joe Biden will be the last shreds of collegiality in the senate keeping his colleagues at bay.
