Barack Obama Watch: Joe Biden A Wise Choice for Vice President?

It’s official: Barack Obama has received no bounce in voter support out of his selection of Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice presidential running mate.

Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Aug. 23-25, the first three-day period falling entirely after Obama’s Saturday morning vice presidential announcement, shows 46% of national registered voters backing John McCain and 44% supporting Obama, not appreciably different from the previous week’s standing for both candidates. This is the first time since Obama clinched the nomination in early June, though, that McCain has held any kind of advantage over Obama in Gallup Poll Daily tracking.

And, after Hillary Clinton’s speech last night at the Democrat National convention, many pundits, Democrats and even Republicans are wondering why Barack Obama’s most important first decision as a Presidential nominee was Joe Biden. Why not Hillary Clinton?

A wise choice to select a long-time Pol with multiple baggage problems?

Probably not……
