Did Obama make a good choice in Biden for a running mate?

Question

I'm just curious if anyone else thinks his chance at the Presidency would've been better if he had Hillary Clinton as a VP. Though I guess that would've screwed him too, since Hillary will NEVER sit second chair because it's just not her nature. I also wonder who would be John McCain's best pick to maximize his chances?

Answer 1

I think Obama could likely outrace either Biden or Hillary, so both would make sense as a running mate. Biden would likely lead to a more exciting race, I'd imagine, while Hillary's gender is likely more compatible from the mate standpoint.

John McCain should probably pick Mitt Romney, but I expect Mitt can outrace him. I'm not sure McCain is going to be able to outrace a lot of people, so he needs somebody nice like Mitt Romney who will probably play along and not just sprint to the finish on his own.

Answer 3

I don't know.  Is Biden more a Marathon runner or a sprinter?  Don't forget to tell him to stretch before the race.  Stretching is very important.
