So Barack Obama's pick for vice-president is indeed Joe Biden.
Well. It's not a horrible pick, and won't hurt Obama, certainly in the short run.
Obviously the campaign hopes Biden gives the ticket more experience, and will comfort voters because of it.
But...you have to wonder.
A big part of Obama's appeal to voters is youth, change, a new kind of politician.
But Joe Biden is 65, loquacious, a senator in 30 years, as much a part of Washington DC as anything and anyone. Does that really fit into the narrative that Barack Obama has sought to establish? I wonder.
