How could Clinton poll worse than Biden? Biden couldn’t get 2 percent of his party to notice him. He’s a do-nothing Senator from an inconsequential state. Half the party probably hasn’t heard of him. He certainly isn’t a hero to any moderate Republicans, or independents.
It would amaze me that he polls better than Hillary, who in fact won more primaries than Obama, and currently polls better than Obama on the TOP of the ticket against McCain.
Could Obama picked a whiter white guy than Biden?
Sorry, I should specify that Biden polls better among independents than Clinton, which I really think is the group that Obama (and McCain) wants to court. Among Dems, yes, Clinton does poll better.

Should O'biden win in November, do not be surprised if Biden's son is appointed to his seat by the next Dem Governor of that State.
