Obama and his attack dog VP

So Obama picked Joe Biden for his running mate. A guy who is almost 20 years his senior. A guy who is part of the "old school Dem politics" that Clinton was apart of. I guess Obama looked past all of that when he chose him for VP. Instead he saw this:
Obama is losing the Catholic vote and conveniently, Biden is Catholic...
And he doesn't really have the senior vote, and oup! Biden is a senior...
And Obama probably has no chance in hell to win a swing state like Pennsylvania, and guess where Biden is from? Scranton, Pennsylvania! (Also the 'location' for the hit NBC comedy 'the Office)

So is this the winning ticket, folks? The hotshot junior Senator of Illinois who doesn't really know what he's talking about (and keeps talking just because he can) and the senior Senator from Delaware who is aggressive and doesn't roll over and take it like Obama? Hmmm... We'll have to wait and see who McCain picks as his running mate before we can decide that debate. Now, if McCain picks Romney (dunno why he would) as his VP then the Dems are in the White House for sure. But if McCain picks, say oh I dunno a Democratic traitor by the name of Joe Lieberman, then we (the Dems) won't have a good shot. After all, McCain is now ahead in the polls and if he picks a strong running mate, then we're screwed. And the Dems need this presidential win more than they need their 5-a-day fruit and veg.

(And that's not an endorsement for Obama. You should all know by now that I will never support Obama until I see some real change happening)
