Since Obama is set to make a selection at any time, I wanted to make some thoughts first. First, I don't necessarily follow the buzz with Biden, from a practical standpoint. Biden has many things going against him. He is a hothead and prone to gaffes, and is from a small state that won't affect the election, although some in the media play his Pennsylvania connections. He also spoke very harshly of Obama in a borderline racist remark. Finally, while his experience is beneficial, the Obama campaign is based upon the idea of change - Biden's 30+ years of experience don't jive with those ideas. Kathleen Sebelius has been mentioned, but her nomination would alienate Hillary supporters and she simply doesn't have the national recognition. This leaves two people with a chance - Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana or Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia. Bayh would help with the experience, while Kaine would represent change. Both would likely swing their respective state in the Obama column, but Bayh is a safer pick in my book and would be my choice. Only time will tell if Obama chooses him. We'll know by tomorrow. Update: Looks like it will be Biden after all if reports on Secret Service being dispatched to his house are correct. Should be interesting to see how the above comments regarding him play out...
