The text message hasn’t been sent yet, but there are several indications and independent reports/confirmations that Joe Biden will be Barack Obama’s vice presidential running mate.
The major networks haven’t reported it yet, but since I have no reason not to send this email out. Other than being wrong, but I’m pretty sure this is it.
Biden, who was one of the Democratic candidates that ran for president
against Obama, is one of the longest-serving member of the Senate. He is particularly adept in foreign affairs and national security; he is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and recently returned from Georgia during last week’s conflict.
Biden also has strong “working class” credentials — he is the least wealthiest member of the U.S. Senate and appeals to blue collar voters — a demographic that Obama has trouble connecting with.
The campaign hasn’t confirmed it, but there are several independent reports that indicate he is the VP, including reports that Secret Service have gone to his house and charter planes from Delaware, his home state, to Chicago.
Obama and Biden — or whoever Obama’s running mate will be — will appear together in Springfield, IL today at 1pm EST. It’s the same place where Obama launched his campaign in February 2007.
