Biden’s Unified Theory of Biden
There's a good Newsweek article on Biden.

http://www.newsweek.com/id/162295/page/1

The righteous anger connects Biden to John McCain. He says the two men often confided in each other. "Some, including in my own family, think I'm being too protective of an old friend," Biden says. He doesn't think McCain has sold out his principles because he was never a maverick to begin with: "When you cut through the marginal stuff, he's a very serious economic conservative and always has been. And his disagreements with Bush on foreign policy have all been about tactics, not strategy." McCain's politics, he says, are "visceral," "personal" and "moral." Certain issues "prick his conscience and emotions on an ad hoc basis" that Biden describes as "incoherent."

1. That is a great article.
I hope some DUer's take the time to read it.

I loved the parts about how Obama and Joe came to the agreement of Joe being Obama's vp.
