Could Obama have possibly picked a better VP than Biden?
Almost everyone I know likes him. Biden was a great asset to the ticket. I don't think Obama could have made a better choice.

1. I don't think so, but then I'm biased. I chose Biden at the beginning
of the primaries. I do think Joe is the best choice!

4. Who knows but I learned to love Biden real quick! Smart. Doesn't take crap.
Knows his foreign policy. Probably helped with PA too, which I didn't expect to be threatened. HAHAHA Excellent choice from brilliant man.

5. Since I don't watch TV
I am slowly catching up, watching all the videos of the campaign, election and victory. One thing strikes me; watching the body language and mannerisms of Obama and Biden, they genuinely look as though they really like and respect each other.

8. Biden was my first choice in the primaries, so he was the perfect VP choice, imo.

10. When P.E. Obama selected Biden was when I got energized
about the ticket. Biden would never have gotten elected President himself because when you ask him a question he tells you what he actually thinks. That of course does not go over well in Washington or in the public.

But with this ticket we have a leader who has some brains and a mouthpiece who will tell it like it is.

12. I love Biden. When I supported Edwards, I always wanted Biden as VP
so when Obama picked him I was ecstatic
