We think so. Not that our word is worth jack – we know chicks, boobs, liquor and sports…and we know them well. However, given the recent sh*t storm of the Russian/Georgian conflict, even we knew this was coming.

Let’s go down the list of necessary qualifications: Biden has been known to cross partisan lines in the past (Check) ; He has more international experience than almost every other senator (Check); He is an older white guy that redneck southerners can say they voted for (Check); He is not Hillary Clinton (question mark).

On paper and in person, Joe Biden could be the smartest Vice-Presidential pick in recent history. Anyone who listens to him talk thinks back to the days of old school leaders, not politicians or beaurocrats. The question is now, will it be enough. McCain’s “Straight-talk Express” is driving him right back into the race, and if he announces his VP soon, we can have ourselves a pretty decent race on our hands.
