> Is Obama running for VP?

You’ve hit on the key point here. This is a face-off that Obama simply cannot win, even if he does (and he’s got his hands full trying). He’s going after the #2 person on the Pub ticket. The more time he wastes there the freer Mac is to play his own game. If Biden can’t neutralize Palin, and thus free up O, the Dems are doomed.

Seems to me like he doesn't trust Biden to be able to take on Palin. He's micro-managing and thinking that he is the only one smart enough to take her on.
