Obama-Biden

Obama tapped a 25 yr. senator for vice-president,Joseph Biden. Obama addressed his critics' complaints of inexperience by adding Biden, 20 yrs. his senior, and who is considered part of the Washington establishment. Obama defeated Hillary Clinton largely with his mantra of fundamental and deep change. Choosing Biden seems to be a timid choice. Biden himself sought the Dem. nomination early in the race, but withdrew. At that time, when Clinton was the front runner, Biden had this to say about Obama; "Here you have for the first time in all American history a woman or African-American poised to be the next President, and there's no way to break through that." With Biden as vp candidate,there are 3 sitting US senators on the tickets, with McCain's choice unannounced. Since the election of 1900, only 2 sitting US senators have been elected President.Warren Harding in 1920 and John Kennedy in 1960. That total is sure to grow in November. Current polls say McCain and Obama are even.
