Who would you have rather seen Obama pick, and why?
Sen. Biden is safe, low negatives, popular with Independents, to the right of the middle of the Democratic Senate, has the gravitas to be seen as the Pres., and carries the look of a candidate.
Everyone else under consideration had either big negatives (Hillary Clinton, John Edwards), or no real positives in polling (Sebellius, Bayh, Kaine).
Picking Hillary would have turned the GOP's Bible Thumpers out in force (to keep Billary out, and put Johnny Mac in, the man who married a sun tanning queen and beer heirress), and same for John Edwards and his stable of women.
Gov. Kaine just had no national recognition, and Gov Sebellius too. Sen. Bayh is just to far to the right on every issue.
