I'm having a problem deciding how Joe Biden helps Obama's campaign.
First, his state only has two Electorial Votes. The Dems would get those anyway.
Second, apparently he only owns one house...and lives in it every day. That doesn't help Obama in keeping up with the McCains. If McCain picks Romney as his running mate, the house number will be way out of sight.
Then, of course, according to McCain and Obama, Biden is poor. He only made about $200,000 last year. He's probably one of the poorest Senators in the US Senate.
And, for goodness sake, he takes public transportation to work every day! Or did before the Secret Service started running his life.
He has had two wives, though. Oh, wait, the first one (along with his daughter) was killed in an auto accident. So I guess that doesn't help him any when you put him up against McCain leaving his crippled wife for the rich home wrecker young enough to be his daughter. Even worse, Biden describes his wife as "drop dead georgous" and actually mentions she has a PhD. :shock: Maybe there's a record somewhere of him asking her to stip to win him a few votes. We'll have to follow up on that one.
One son is a lobbyist. Looking better here. It probably doesn't match up with McCain's support for Georgia while one of his top advisors is a lobbyist for Georgia or having Phil Gramm as his chief economic advisor, but it's something. Could that be offset by the other Biden son currently in Iraq? Darn, I'll just have to keep looking. Surely there's some reason Obama chose him.
