Veep Pick #1
Though I didn't realize he was still a front runner, Biden appears decent enough. His upsides balances the major problems (too corporate friendly? heck labor also likes him) and ticket balance is in place since one side has certain weaknesses. Biden's smarts/edge appeals and his used car salesman dad amuses. Obama/Biden is probably better than the last two duos too. On the dark side of things, his personal tragedy adds a certain human side to things too.
