His debut appearance was an attack on the McCaim camp which earned points from the Obama supporters. Joe Bidden, who has many years of experience in foreign policies and a strong trail of working-class supporters is the perfect man for Obama. He has Obama's back on foreign matters. In addition, the working-class supporters garnered would definitely be a boost to Mr. Obama's votes in Ohio, Michigan and other Rust Belt states.
Mr. Biden has proposed a resolution to be reached for the Iraq war to President George Bush after the Sept 11 attacks, and only said that mobilizing the troops would be a last resort. This is probably partly why Biden was chosen - no outfront support for the Iraq war. Hence, in favour with the Americans. That was probably partly why Hillary Clinton lost out to Obama. Not only did she represent a figure of the old politics (unlike a CHANGE promised by Obama), she supported the Iraq war at that point in time. Bummer!
Most importantly, Mr. Biden's a Roman Christian. Another bonus.
However, many things can happen from between now till November 4.
The US Elections is only going to get more intense. So, grab on tight everyone, lest you fall off the roller coaster ride!
