I’ll
be the first to admit that I think Barack Obama made the perfect choice
when he selected Sen. Biden to be his running mate. But, then, why
wouldn’t I? After all, I’m a Republican.
Frankly, although Biden’s name had been floating around for quite a
while, until Obama made it official, I had worried that he’d pick
Hillary Clinton. It would have been an uncomfortable fit, but not all
that much more awkward than John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson or Ronald
Reagan and George Bush. There are, after all, millions of female
Democrats who think that Obama and the party knifed their Hillary in
the back, and they may not be won back just because the convention will
give her a moment in the spotlight. They just might see it as the
equivalent of a philandering husband who figures all he needs to do to
keep his wife from going after the community property is to send her a
dozen roses. [more @ ExileStreet]
