Biden My Time

Presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, selected Sen. Joe Biden to be his running mate today, to which I say, "Meh!" What a lukewarm piece of slush of a choice.

Instead, he should have chosen Madeleine Albright as his VP, or another woman with foreign policy experience with the ability to be a graceful attack dog to his critics. He would have solidified his base with the disappointed Clinton voters and brought heft and credibility to his ticket for swing voters.

Now it is up to Sen. John McCain to do the obvious and select a woman VP for his ticket.

Obama's selection of Biden makes me question again if Obama has the political prowess to win this election.

UPDATED UPDATE: Now that John McCain picked Gov. Sarah Palin as his running-mate, I realize that I should have been more specific. By suggesting that it is the obvious choice to pick a woman, I mean someone along the lines of Olympia Snow or Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Had he picked either of them, this would be a horse race. Now it is just a sad, sad exercise to a foregone conclusion.

UPDATE: Biden accepted the nomination for VP tonight. I have to admit he has a compelling backstory. I still prefer Madeleine Albright.
