The Democratic ticket: two small yappie dogs.

Delaware is nice. I've been there. It's where they keep the credit card companies. Still, after a day of letting it sink in, my take on Joe Biden being the VP nominee hasn't changed much.

I'm bored with it.

It's boring.

It's a boring pick made by a man afraid. Afraid his cover will be completely blown. Afraid of being out shone by a ballsy pick, like Nunn or Clinton. It also says something about his ego. He did not pick someone who can bring electoral clout to the table. This is not an oversight - it's simply a belief he doesn't need any help convincing people. Axlerod's refrain before every state Obama lost was "we just don't have enough time to turn it around in..." As if more Barry always wins elections. The opposite is true. Axlerod knows this. But political operatives are professional sycophants so he had to say it.

Nothing about Biden excites me. He has experience where BHO doesn't. Then again, so does most of the population. His involvement with foreign policy is helpful. Still, his knowledge does not give one the sense that he carries authority or wisdom. Lloyd Bentsen oozed Presidential authority and wisdom. Sam Nunn or Hillary Clinton both carry Presidential authority into the room. Biden, by all rights, should. Yet, his authority is entirely senatorial in nature. Lots of talk - followed inaction.

The choice for VP is a nominee's first "buck stops here" moment. Color me unimpressed. Not put off - just...bored. The one thing I can come up with that is a genuine asset: Biden is funny. Funny is more important than most think. (Reagen could be funny, Carter never was.)

He's also up to the job of President. On that count it's an okay choice. There will not be any "one heart beat away" cracks like there was with Quayle. Obama/Biden is not a BAD team. It's just not a GOOD one either.

It does seem to me BHO has lost the South. Probably would have happened anyway. Still, this choice does not help. The effete Black Yankee chose an effete White Yankee.

Both these men are prone to using words to masturbate. The idea of four years of these two yapping is not enticing. The one blessing of Bush/Cheney has been that one avoids talking much because he doesn't speak English and no one knows where the other is half the time.

Obama's self reverential need to make a massive event of everything is now officially tiresome. He could have gone to Europe and just met leaders - but no - the Lightbringer had to host a concert to boot. The hullabaloo surrounding the "announcement" warranted at least 3 eyerolls from me this week. And all the media frenzy was for who??? Joe Biden? Yawn.

Anything can happen. A millions events decide elections. It is going to be an interesting 2 months. Still, with polls so close - Obama chose safely . Not a bad choice. But it is not a game changer. Obama is a Coke that has gone flat. He needed some fizz.

Obama/Biden could be packaged expertly like Clinton/Gore was in 1992. People could get excited about it. But I doubt it.

As for the "ticket should be inverted" meme. Nonsense. Obama is not worthy of the vice presidency either.
