Subject: RE: BS: Obama/____________ '08???
It just occurs to me that the best fit for Obama is Joe Biden. Lots of reasons but tops among them is his knowledge and familiarity with foreign policy. Because of the process of presidential campaigning he is already well vetted. Not likely to be many unexamined skeletons in his closet.

He also has experience with domestic affairs and has been effective on many fronts.

From his website:


"Over the last thirty-four years, Senator Biden has shown prescience and leadership on the most critical issues facing Delaware and our country. From his instrumental role in passing the bipartisan initiative to create a Commission on Civil Rights in 1983, to introducing the 1986 Global Climate Protection Act, to establishing an annual National Mammography Awareness Day, and to authoring the Rail Security Act of 2007 to regulate the transportation of hazardous materials on American railways, Senator Biden consistently works to tackle America's toughest challenges."

His age is also a plus for Obama. Old enough to offset Obama's comparative youth, young enough to be in stark contrast with McCain.
