When Obama picked Biden my dad asked me what I thought of the pick and I replied that I wasn’t surprised. After all, Biden provides Obama exactly what he’s missing – an old white guy with foreign policy experience and appeal to seniors. (In other words, someone like McCain). When asked who I thought McCain would pick I replied that while I didn’t know who, my guess is that like Obama picked someone very much like McCain, so McCain would pick someone very much like Obama. (Except since McCain is limited to Republicans he wouldn’t be able to find an African American since JC Watts scares people). He did the next best thing though – he took someone from an obvious minority (a woman), young enough to be his daughter, (or trophy wife), with a whopping two years of political experience in the most corrupt state in the union, and a former Ms. Alaska runner up. (As a side note, if you read the literature on the art of persuasion, you’ll find that physical looks actually go a long way towards convincing people to follow your argument. Something that will only help her in a match-up against Biden, much as it will help Obama when he debates McCain).

Now for the best part of this whole thing – the information was first leaked on wikipedia yesterday. This isn’t the first time it’s happened either, which of course gives me an idea….
