Biden: Out McCaining McCain

Of those recognizable nationally, Biden is definitely the smartest, and he can definitely attack the hardest. And he is one of the most intellectually honest and frank politicians in Washington. Why he didn’t blow everyone away in election primaries past I don’t know, except that such honesty can seem "hot-headed." That he’s a verbose "gaffe-machine." You begin to see the similarities to the Old John McCain — and that’s a subtlety to Obama’s decision that the media have missed for now. In fact I wonder if Obama was thinking half-ironically about all this when he used the word "complement" — he has picked a sort of mirror image of his opponent who will stand up to Obama provide him with unflinchingly honest advice. He’s picked someone who will provide a stark contrast to the McCain’s dubious transformation into a political panderer. He’s picked someone who can beat McCain at his own game.
