So, when did Biden become a new born V P Candidate? How long has He been in Congress? Dah-30 years?

He is pure as the driven Deleware snow?

He has been a Presidential candidate in past primaries. In '88, he might have given Dukakis more of a run for his money, but he had a serious illness.

As far as being in Congress 30 years - I don't see why it's such a big deal. Someone could be a first-term Congressman (or woman) and be dirty, and someone could be in Congress for years while being completely clean.

So how is Biden who has been in the old line political scene any different than those who make a profession of politics?

Obama is talking about change and then digs up someone who is in the main stream of the typical old line up!

Funny how poitics make strange bed fellows.

Obama almost had to pick someone from the old guard, so to speak, to answer any of the experience questions.

Also, as to the change thing, I'm not sure that adding Biden really goes against that. One of my big issues is that he's been talking about "change" this whole time, when he's been a member of the Congressional majority. I know he's trying to feed off the anti-Bush sentiment, and it's working, but it's also not as if he's some political outsider coming in to shake things up.
