i do find it interesting however that obama wants change, portrays himself as a man of change, and picks biden.
mccain has always been viewed as a maverick, he pulls his usuall maverick stuff and taps (ahem) a woman to be his running mate, and it's a gimmick. no, it's par for the course for mccain.
i think he could have done better. two years as governor imo isn't enough to show someones capabilities. i'd say usually that the VP selection usually doesn't mean much, but in mccains case it absolutely does due to his age.
