WASHINGTON ? Senator Barack Obama has chosen Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware to be his running-mate, turning to a leading authority on foreign policy and a longtime Washington hand to fill out the Democratic ticket, people told of the decision said.Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, questioning Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a committee hearing in January 2007.Mr. Obama?s selection ended a two-month search that was conducted almost entirely in secret. It reflected a critical strategic choice by Mr. Obama: To go with a running-mate who could reassure voters about gaps in his resume, rather than to pick someone who could deliver a state or reinforce Mr. Obama?s message of change.

Biden’s a good choice, except for the name. How long will it be before certain older-than-dirt Bushies “slip up” and instead of saying “Obama/Biden” they say “Osama Bin Laden”? It rhymes, so they must be terrorists.
