It was revealed this morning that Barack Obama has selected Joseph Biden as his running mate.  Given that the speculation largely involved only two other men–Senator Bayh of Indiana, and Governor Kaine of Virgina–I think Senator Obama made the right choice.  I don’t agree with some of Senator Biden’s positions on issues (for example, I think it was a mistake for him to support the bankruptcy legislation he did, though it would have been hard for a senator from Delaware to oppose it), and I wish he didn’t talk so much (if you’ve seen footage of senate hearings you know exactly what I mean), but he’s as tough as anyone in Washington, and he knows foreign relations as well as anybody else.
