Obama-Biden ‘08
I just got home from a night of drinking and am a little bit off-kilter, but I discovered that the Democratic ticket will include one Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware. I have not always been a fan of the idea of selecting Sen. Biden as a VP, because I’ve generally seen it as a concession that Obama lacks the foreign policy chops to be president, which I think is flat-out untrue and particularly ridiculous when compared to John McCain. But in any case, I have come around to the idea of a Biden vice presidency, in part because I think I was wrong about my intuition and Biden may in fact be a signal from the Obama camp that their campaign is ready to get into the game when it comes to foreign policy debate. Take, for example, this clip of Joe Biden talking about Rudy Giuliani, which made me laugh for about five minutes straight:
Combine that clip with the vision of a Biden vs. Romney VP debate, and I am going to bed happy tonight. :-)

I must admit I wasn’t expecting to laugh at that video, but his expression at the end was fantastic. I had to watch again!
