Ladies and Gentlmen - the Democratic Party Ticket for 2008

I'm happy.

While I hate to lose Biden's strong and experienced voice in the Senate, I think he is a tremendous asset to Barack Obama. Not only will he have his vast knowledge and experience to offer, but Biden can also serve as Obama's "attack dog" - and I say that in a good way. Obama's personality is not conducive to defending himself from the Republican smear machine, but Biden - oh yeah, Biden can take it and throw it right back.

It's all good.
