Frankly, I was for Joe Biden as a Democratic choice in the primaries. (I was also hoping that John McCain would win on the GOP side.) I'm very, very pleased with Biden's impending nomination as the candidate for VP. He is an experienced, thoughtful, no nonsense legislator.

BUT...now we won't have to wait very long for the Obama critics to begin to rag on the choice, saying that Obama really isn't an agent of change. Rather, they will say, he is an old school politician as proven by his choice of a running mate with undeniable and deep experience.

By the way, those critics will be the same people who have complained that a 47-year old can't possibly have enough experience to be President.
