Hope I'm only half-right about Biden
If you asked me two years ago who would be in the running for the White House in 2008, I would have said Joe Biden (D) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden) and John McCain (R) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain). And thanks to the power of ink blogging, you can see for yourself.
[Senator Joe Biden is pushing hard for a shot at the White House in '08. Personally, I think he'll get his shot, but lose out to "maverick" McCain backed by the Bush campaign machine.] (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2006/11/bidens-pushing-but-im-not-biting.html) --November 28, 2006
True, Biden is getting his shot as Obama's running mate (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/23/obama-biden-rally-in-illi_n_120798.html), but that still gets him to the White House. However, I also predicted McCain would beat Biden. Hopefully Obama will spoil that part of my prediction too.
As for whether I agree with the pick, obviously it doesn't come as a shock. I thought Obama would have been good as Biden's #2, So the reverse also works. Biden's main problem is he doesn't know when to stop talking. This gets him in a lot of trouble, but he speaks his mind (excessively so) and his pool of knowledge is unquestionable (because he can't shut up about it). Hurts him politically, but the man can do the job. Can't argue with that.
