I think that's been ignored in the corporate media. ;) I like Ezra's argument about Biden's ability to make and win the argument that people should vote for Obama/Biden. And in my promised role as Obamabot until November 5, 12:01AM, I want to believe that to the extent a VP matters at all, Biden will not be a bad influence on Obama. But Mick is right, the guy is corporate through and through. That may mean that he'll push for the renewal of American greatness understanding that that way real prosperity for all lies. It may mean that we've got more Barriers to Bankruptcy Bills in our future. I think it comes down to what you and I and Mick and increasingly others say - it's going to be up to how hard we push them to do the right thing. Excellent observation about DE’s electoral votes.
