Everything Swank

Joe Biden

Yes I know it is an early call, but I feel confident that Obama will make the most logical choice.  Obama’s biggest weakness is Biden’s biggest strength.  Obama has made some critical errors when he has spoken about foreign policy, and Biden has been the one to counsel him on why his mistakes looked amateurish. (Iran)

Edwards decided to shit the bed and remove himself as the most obvious choice  by banging a woman while his wife had cancer.  Classy.  But this isn’t about Edwards.

Biden has already run for President and been on the national stage.  That is experience that cannot be ignored.  My subsequent guess is that after he announces Biden, he’ll regain that five point drop he slowly lost to McCain.  The ads are effective, and Obama’s only response has been about the spirit of the ads.  Wake up Obama.  This is the big leagues, and you only get so much mileage with that line and it really only works on someone like Hillary.

If I am wrong, his other choices are a major strategy failing and you’ll see him continue to slide in the polls.
