Obama lin Biden

Obama probably just handed McCain the presidency today.

Everyone thought Barack Obama would pick Hillary Rodham Clinton as his vice president,  because he needs the backing of the 18 million or so voters who supported her. It would have been the smart move.

Obama chose a man who, months ago, dropped out of the race after he failed to garner 1 percent of the Dem’s vote. . .

Obama’s poll numbers have plummeted and Biden will do nothing to help raise them.

Here’s why:

1) His platform of “Change” is not helped by Biden – Biden was for the Iraq war and represents the same things they have criticized McCain for.

2) Biden’s past comments will haunt their campaign. You can count on his future ones to create problems. Just three hours after the Obama campaign sent out its text announcement, the McCain campaign rolled out its first ad this morning, using Senator Joe Biden’s own words against Obama.

3) Can’t keep raising McCain’s age as an issue.. Biden is only a few years younger.

4) Biden has spent most of his life in the senate – and has nothing to show for it. He has served on two key committees, both as chairman and ranking-minority member. One dealt with judges and constitutional law and the other with foreign policy.

Last, not falling in line with the “Clinton” camp may bite him also. They undermined Kerry last election and will do the same this time. Hillary wants in next time, and Bill needs to make up for losing it for her.

The next few moths will make for great TV.

Just wish Canadian politics could be this interesting…
