Okay, so the VP choice wasn't some thrilling, dramatic surprise, but then -- despite the endless media hype -- it rarely is.  I'm sure some people will think Biden is too establishment for Obama. (And then there are those -- I guess there are still those? -- who wanted Hillary on the ticket. But speaking as someone who has enormous respect for HRC, vp's not good enough for her.) I don't have a problem with the establishment, when it's established that it agrees with me.  And I certainly don't have a problem with pairing "change" with some good old fashioned "experience." (It works for fresh cheese and aged wine. Mmm, cheese...)

Here's the thing about Biden -- he knows what he's talking about on foreign policy, and he's brilliant when he goes on the attack. (His recap of Giuliani's speeches, back in the primary: "Noun, verb, 9/11." How can you not love this man?) Yes, occasionally he says something dumb -- for which those of us prone to foot-in-mouth disease love him even more -- but I think that'll balance out Obama's (admirable) need to weigh and re-weigh every word before it pops out of his mouth.

In short, I vote yes. And now I'm rooting even harder for McCain to pick Romney as his running mate, because that's a vp debate I want to watch.
