Some Democrats might have a problem with the Biden pick...

...then again, some Republicans don't.

Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska said in a statement: “Joe Biden is the right partner for Barack Obama. His many years of distinguished service to America, his seasoned judgment and his vast experience in foreign policy and national security will match up well with the unique challenges of the 21st Century. An Obama-Biden ticket is a very impressive and strong team. Biden’s selection is good news for Obama and America.”

Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana said in a statement: "I congratulate Senator Barack Obama on his selection of my friend, Senator Joe Biden, to be his vice-presidential running mate. I have enjoyed for many years the opportunity to work with Joe Biden to bring strong bipartisan support to United States foreign policy."

Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. "No one on the Democratic side knows more about foreign policy than Sen. Biden. He's been an articulate spokesman on the subject. He also knows about domestic policy. He's been a leader on crime control."

For the record, I'm fine with Biden, always liked the guy. I realize that he's cozy with Big Credit, but am willing to chalk that up to representing his constiuents, many of whom actually work for those companies in Delaware.

And the VP debates - no matter who McCain ends up choosing - are going to be a blast. Imagine Biden up against any one of the GOP also-rans. He'll smile as he's handing whoever it is his still-beating heart.
