Reply #7: If Obama became president & Biden was his VP...

[ginchinchili]

it would create the uncomfortable dynamic where the VP is more knowledgable than the president. Obama would be turning to him again and again. It doesn't make sense.

Put the most qualified person in the presidency. If Democrats can't figure out this obvious and logical mandate, then I'm through with the Party. I'll just consider myself an independent and try to keep my head out of politics as much as possible. I'm tired of associating myself with the Party of poor judgment.

There will be a considerable learning curve with Obama, and we can't afford that right now. People can pretend that isn't the case, but it's a fact that shouldn't be ignored. He hasn't paid much in the way of dues. That was one of my main complaints about our current president during the election of 2000. I think I was right. Because of Biden's experience and intellect, his learning curve will be insignificant in comparison to the others. There's every reason to believe that he'd make the strongest general election candidate as well. He is a man of the highest ethical standards and is arguably the most genuinely "real" candidate running. It's a no-brainer, unless one has no brain.
