Kerry Statement on Sen. Obama’s Selection of Joe Biden as VP Nominee
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sen. John Kerry released the following statement today in praise of Sen. Barack Obama’s decision to pick Sen. Joe Biden as the Vice Presidential Nominee on the 2008 Democratic Presidential ticket:

“I am honored to express my support for my colleague and good friend Joe Biden as the next Vice President of the United States. From his championship of families hit hardest by a failing economy to his dedication to ending the misguided war in Iraq, Joe Biden is ready to help Barack Obama provide Americans with change we can truly believe in. I have had the privilege of working closely with Joe on the Foreign Relations Committee and have witnessed first hand his commitment to elevating America’s stature in the world. Barack’s vision for a better future for America is reflected in Joe’s commitment to middle class issues, understanding of international relations, and duty to country. I look forward to doing all I can to help elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden as the next President and Vice President of the United States.”

3. When David Wade got that VP job, I wondered at the

time if there already was a sense of the direction the selection was going.
Given Biden's fondness for saying what's on his mind, David is going to have a most interest few months, I think. : )

4. yes, i can't see Wade working for someone

who would be the type to criticize Kerry on stupid things. Wade also probably knows Biden since Kerry works with him and felt comfortable. i would not be surprised if Kerry advised Obama in going in this direction. not necessarily Biden specifically but a Biden, Dodd, Richardson type.

i felt the same way when Marvin went to work for Obama. i could see Kerry endorsing Obama.
