Joe Biden! The news is still unofficial until morning.
50,000 points to
red_mage_jerry for totally calling this when we talked Thursday.
Biden makes a good choice as running mate, though my dream ticket is still Obama/Kucinich (or better, the Socialist Pres candidate), but those are so not going to fly.
For those of you not so familiar with Senator Biden (DE), he's come around to be a supporter of LGB (not sure on T) rights, was instrumental in the 9/11 commission, has extensive foreign policy experience, and has a son who has done at least two tours of duty in the current Iraq conflict. In terms of corporate politics he is same-old. However, he'll go a long way to repair the broken fences of cowboy diplomacy.
Possible catchphrase: "Leadership. Experience. Hope."
