    I’ve been thinking more and more about what a brilliant choice Obama made.

    I dont think it is hyperbole to say that he won the election when he picked Biden.

    I’d love to read an article detailing Palin’s vetting process.

    Jason–if I may be so bold–Powell/Biden won that ticket.

    The New Yorker has an article on Palin too (guess that this is the VP Edition). Haven’t read it yet.

    And I want to remind everybody that I was cheerleading for a Biden pick from way back before it was cool…. 😉

    It’s funny, Jason. When Obama first picked Biden there were a lot of people complaining to me that Obama should have picked Hillary. I told them that I didn’t agree and that we should have patience. As a VP candidate, I think Biden has been just about perfect. He support the ticket, can act as a very effective surrogate/attack dog and doesn’t overshadow the top of the ticket. Can you imagine the drama is we had Hillary on the ticket?
