[Coldwater Creek]

Biden was picked to be the attack dog.

McCain had better pick someone that can hold their own when it comes to being down right dirty in their own attacks.

[modest proposal]

Was that really the reason for the 911 pick? I thought the date had some other significance to them

[FlingWingFlyer]

Biden was Obama’s second choice. Everyone else was tied for first but they said they were busy.

[Islander7]

Biden was picked because everyone else under consideration knew Obama is a lost cause and they refused the job.

[Clintonfatigued]

Obama is trying to conpensate for the experience gap.

[Carley]

Biden was picked because fat Teddy wanted it that way.

Anybody but the bubba’s.

[Doogle]

he's articulate

[the invisib1e hand]

As was pointed out on another thread, at the Obama rallies, you can't even see his name on the "0bama" signs.

It's pretty freaking weird.

[P8riot]

For the same reason Bush picked Chaney, HE NEEDS GRAVITAS

[Psycho_Bunny]

He was picked because Obama wanted me, personally, to get a good chuckle out of it.

[9YearLurker]

So far I think all of the reasons presented on this thread—except for the original one—pertain.

[Plutarch]

Threads such as this should be saved as an example of why vanities are generally to be discouraged at FR.

[crazyhorse46]

Don't over look the Kennedys.

Joe calls Uncle Ted says he wants the VP.

Uncle Ted calls sweet Caroline and says "Joe is it."

Sweet Caroline tells Milsap "Joe is it."

Voila you have the Obama/Biden ticket.

[narses]

Biden was picked - in part - to get to the 69,000,000 Catholics in America. Bad choice bambi.

[BADROTOFINGER]

Is this satire? If it is, it just isn't any good, sorry.

If it isn't, please attempt to let us know how this idea of yours makes any sense at all...JFK

[TexasCajun]

More like pandaering to the Archie Bunker Democrats.

Jr told PUMA to go take a pill.

[xtinct]

Catholics are p*ssed off that their gal Hildabeast lost the nomination. Joe Biden is a Catholic in name ONLY. That is, he's an abortion facilitator too.

Thousands of Catholics... Obamassiah hoping for appeasement.

But the maggot may have made a mistake: Leaked that Hildabeast wasn't vetted... Drudge called the episode d.i.s.s.e.d.

So, we'll just have to stand by to see if the psuedo Catholics who believe in abortion and vote Democrat vote for this ticket.

Did I fail to mention that most Catholics especially the Irish are famous racists...

[mountainbunny]

Biden was picked because he’s the chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

He’s an attack dog.

In that sense, he’s good for Obama. Biden can attack McCain directly on foreign policy gaffes and get under his skin.

In a different sense, it prevents McCain from picking several people for Vice President. McCain will have to pick someone with heavy experience on policy issues, and that counts out many of the “attractive” choices.

[#1CTYankee]

Biden lied about his college education and bailed out of his run as President back in the 90's shortly after the press called him on it.

I can't find anything about it on the web but I'm very sure about it.

[KC_Conspirator]

Biden was picked because he has “gravitas”, whereas Osbama is the weakest candidate in decades.
