The LA Times outlines the expectations for Joe Biden's speech tonight:

With the vice presidential nomination speech tonight by Joe Biden, Democrats will meet Barack Obama's bad cop -- an attacker who will not hesitate to go hard after the Republicans.

But why is Obama, a gifted orator who has already defeated one of America's most powerful political families, in such desperate need of the help?

Politico has a story out today about how Joe Biden is feared by the McCain camp:

Democrat Barack Obama's selection of Joe Biden as a running mate is complicating Republican John McCain's analysis of his prospective vice presidential contenders...


..."McCain knows Biden well. He knows how good he is as a knife fighter. He'll take McCain apart," said one Republican operative.

2. Don't forget, though, that Biden is taking direction from Obama, now --

and Obama may not want to use the convention as a place to begin the dismemberment. --

But then again, if not now, when? Hope he's able to let it rip!

primetime festivities ;)

8. I think it's part of the reason why he picked Biden to begin with

He knew that if he himself went on the attack the MSM/McCain would be screaming about "This isn't change" etc.

They'll do it with Biden, but it's easier for Biden to go ahead since .. well .. that's the job of the VP candidate!

7. The presidential nominees SHOULD NEVER be vicious. Bush wasn't. He had a machine do that work

including every GOP lawmaker who could get on TV. The Dem lawmakers just wouldn't do that in any consistent fashion during the campaign - too many feared sticking their necks out and getting on Rove's radar.

9. McCain is just "Biden" his time...

...until it will be too late!
