In an earlier post, I discussed my personal opinions on possible Democratic Vice Presidential nominees. We have finally come to the point in which we find out who is Obama's choice. He says he has made his choice, he's just not telling.
And my guess...
Senator Joe Biden from Delaware.
I believe Barack Obama is leaning towards picking somebody who will help him govern as opposed to help him win the race. This is what makes Biden a great pick. He was arguably the best debater of all the former Democratic candidates for president and he exceeds even John McCain in experience. I also believe that picking Biden will show that the Obama camp realizes something about the people who will vote for him. Having a north easterner on the ticket may appear as a concession of the south to McCain but, that is not necessarily true. The people in the south who would choose to not vote for Obama because he chose somebody from the north, would have never voted for Obama in the first place. These are the people still fighting the Civil War and they won't vote for neither Yankees nor black people. But, the south is not filled with these people. It is more culturally diverse than ever, and possibly the most diverse area of the United States.
Bottom Line? Biden would be a good choice because the race isn't as close as you think. Polls are notorious for excluding minorities and young people, aka Obama's core constituency.
