5. Wasn't my first choice, but a good choice.

He's a strong debater, experienced and can wipe the floor with whoever the republicans pick to run with McCain.

I'm ready for my bumper stickers and yard signs now!

7. Good point

Biden is a very good debater and will kick McCain's VP's ass.

I also like the fact Biden is a bit scrappy and has appeal to working class voters. Makes for a nicely balanced ticket.

9. I think so as well. (Scrappy)

And with the new turn of advertising that's not holding any quarter for McCain's attacks, this may be just what Obama needs.

12. Agree

Biden will play the attack dog role, traditional of a VP candidate well.

BTW, welcome to DU!
