Georgia on Obama’s Mind
…well that seems to be the gist of it. As Fox News tells it, Joe Biden was not on the extremely short list until recent events of late in Georgia, with aggression by the Russians. But with Obama’s foreign relations creds (or lack thereof), I guess Obama knew he had to bring someone on board with just such experience.
From the AP’s latest article:
Barack Obama selected Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware late Friday night to be his vice presidential running mate, according to a Democratic official, balancing his ticket with an older congressional veteran well-versed in foreign policy and defense issues.
Biden, who has twice sought the White House, is a Catholic with blue-collar roots, a generally liberal voting record and a reputation as a long-winded orator.
Across more than 30 years in the Senate, he has served at various times not only as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, but also as head of the Judiciary Committee, with its jurisdiction over anti-crime legislation, Supreme Court nominees and Constitutional issues.
The official who spoke did so on condition of anonymity, preferring not to pre-empt a text-message announcement the Obama campaign promised for Saturday morning.
Hmmm… now let’s just see who McCain picks.
