How does 128 "Present Votes" Compare to a Gov Who had to Take a Stand?

Question

Why did the Dems put the inexperienced person in the #1 slot on their ticket instead of as the benchwarmer?

Answer 1

The main difference is you can have your Senate Page say "present"

Answer 2

You would think Biden should have been their Presidential pick...

..but no, they chose a failed Junior Senator with even less political experience and accomplishments than McCains VP.

The biggest problem with Obama, is that he squandered his time as a Senator. He accomplished nothing.

I will take a hard working Governor over a lazy Senator any day.
