Cynics and comparisons aside, this move was a great strategy. If they say it's because she is a woman, so...like so what — Biden wasn't a compromise for Obama?! If they attack her inexperience, it highlights his own — together with the Clarence Thomas “almost stepped in it” at Saddleback, it highlights his own. If they say “been there, done that,” who cares? It only counts if you can say she was elected IMHO.

Let's get her immersed in the talking points, make sure she has a voice that will resonate well (as opposed to Hillary's untrained nails on a chalkboard [by the way, she seems to have taken voice lessons — good move]) and see if she can think fast on her feet and get folks focused on the issues, rather than the “personalities” involved. This isn't “American Idol.” This is real life.

You are so right.

Also, I just came back from a lurk on one of puma boards and they are going bonkers! They view this move as one of respect for them and their efforts. Big Mac is winning them over hand over fist.
