How so? Biden's name took quite the leap in just the last ten days or so and much of the reasons he was picked...(experience, foreign policy, etc)... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 23, 10:59 6
- If the criticisms are valid (and it does sound like they are), then isn't making a choice that addresses them a good and positive sign? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 11:03 1
  - Depends on two things in a voter's mind: 1) How important are the areas of weakness?, and 2) How much influence do you believe the VP will have? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 23, 11:08
- Narrow-sightedness. If international experience was the deciding factor, it probably was under consideration long before Georgia. -- nm - nubby Aug 23, 11:02 3
  - You don't think that recent events can affect the final decision amongst close weighted options? - Name Withheld By Request Aug 23, 11:05 1
    - Sure. But this is awfully indirect. -- nm - nubby Aug 23, 11:06
  - He's the LBJ to Obama's JFK....he's got a ton of political favors owed and knows where the bodies are buried. -- nm - Pete Aug 23, 11:04
