Doesn't Obama personify change no matter who his running mate is?

Question

Isn't it silly to use Biden's long experience is the Senate as going against that change, when at the end of the day, he can only help Obama enforce that change?

Answer 1

Yeah, I agree, that Obama is the change candidate although I think Obama needs to go beyond the "change" slogan and be more specific about the changes he's going to make.

And, you're certainly right when you say this criticism about Biden is silly. A few days ago Republicans were still criticizing  Obama because he didn't have enough experience in national politics; now they criticize him for choosing a running mate who has too much experience. It's amazing to me how they get away with switching back and forth between incompatible arguments.
