This doofus added gravitas to the ticket?
Sadly, yes he did.
As a man whom the Washington press corps gleefully styled as "The dumbest man in the Senate", it's amazing how smart Biden became after he was nominated for the Vice-Presidency.
Putting aside the Great Reader of the Teleprompter, look at the rest of the Democrat leadership: Reid, Pelosi and Biden. How much worse could it possibly be?
We may be unhappy with the Republican leadership, but in comparison, it looks pretty good.
