It's the Joe Biden stump speeches that I want to see

[MrScorpio]

Running mates have historically been the attack dogs, usually leaving the front runner to stay above the fray (But only if you're not a Republican).

I can't wait to see Joe take off the gloves and give Mittens the verbal face punch that automaton most deservedly requires.

4. never been a fan

I wish Obama had picked someone else. Maybe someone around his age so that they might run in 2016.

5. I never was a fan, but became a BIG fan when I started paying attention during

the primaries. He was my choice but he was gone in an instant. (I fancied a Biden/Obama ticket so Obama could get his chops then slip into the nom/win in 2016.)

I think Obama probably needed someone w/Biden's experience and expertise to lend some gravitas to his run, so even if you don't agree with his particular choice, I think the reasoning behind it was sound.

6. Biden was picked because he was older.

He gave experience and was someone that would not be a rival in the WH. Obama trusts him and works well with him. I think for those reasons he was a good VP pick.

[MrScorpio]

7. You get the assurance that he's a vital part of the team...

Instead of how the Republicans do it with their doofuses in waiting.
