Lack of Confidence

Of course Obama had no confidence other than to make a safe pick, Biden, who after Al Gore is probably the most qualified individual in this country to be president.

The problem is Biden will totally overshadow Obama and make people wonder what in the hell possessed Democrats, other than being highly susceptible to media propaganda, to pick Obama.

Of course they didn't; the primaries and caucuses were stolen, but leaving that aside the general voting public will be questioning this for the next two months:

The picks say something profound about Obama: For all his self-confidence, the 47-year-old Illinois senator worried that he couldn't beat Republican John McCain without help from a seasoned politician willing to attack. The Biden selection is the next logistical step in an Obama campaign that has become more negative - a strategic decision that may be necessary but threatens to run counter to his image.

He can't beat McCain no matter WHO he puts on the ticket. Biden should be at the top of the ticket. He could horsewhip McCain clear to Arizona.
