Finally a Post, and Finally Obama's Running Mate

I didn't think that I would fall off the blogging wagon that dramatically, but I guess I did since it's been over a month since my last post. Well, no one reads this blog. It's almost a personal journal. Does it matter? Yes. It's far too early to give it up especially after a good beginning.

Anyway, Obama finally announced his running mate for the election. It's Joe Biden. Several months ago I never would have thought of Biden being in the Presidential mix at this date, even if it is as VP. But I like the pick over the other frontrunners (Evan Bayh, boring, and Tim Kaine, unknown). Biden complements Obama well. He's got the experience that the lack of seems to be tripping up Obama, at least the perception about Obama. Biden's also can be hot compared to the supposed "coolness" of Obama. But hopefully that hot doesn't get Biden and the campaign into trouble. Biden's got a big mouth, which can be tiresome and is able to receive in it the occasional foot. There's also the plagiarism incident from years ago (I think 1988?), but I don't think that will be a problem. Enough time has passed for people to forgive Biden over it.

I've never been a fan of Biden, but I hope that he helps Obama win the presidency.
