I think this might effectively muffle Biden if he makes
any attempt to display that she is unqualified. And Biden
cant help being especially mean. Add to this
Obama's extensive lack of experience in the nuances
of international relations.
The Republicans made the race closer.
If Romney was picked, call Obama Mr. President.

My unqualified take.

And I still think this will be one of the most interesting presidential
elections. The last few had me bored stiff until the voting actually
took place and the Florida mess.

this white female voter isn't happy with anyone running, again. i won't be any more encouraged to vote for mccain just because one of my 'sisters' got picked to be his vp.
i do find it interesting however that obama wants change, portrays himself as a man of change, and picks biden.
mccain has always been viewed as a maverick, he pulls his usuall maverick stuff and taps (ahem) a woman to be his running mate, and it's a gimmick. no, it's par for the course for mccain.
i think he could have done better. two years as governor imo isn't enough to show someones capabilities. i'd say usually that the VP selection usually doesn't mean much, but in mccains case it absolutely does due to his age.
