6. no. it's a weak ticket.
Obama's greatest weakness in the general is his perceived lack of experience. JE served one term in the Senate and has NO other relevant experience. Plus, running with the failed vp nominee from the last cycle, just isn't something that's politically savvy. Obama needs a running mate with serious experience.

8. Still
On the other hand, he really has been the candidate who champions the working poor, and is anti-corporate. A lot of dems like his politics.

12. Doesn't matter. He just doesn't balance the ticket.
And Obama really needs someone who will.

9. They need Biden now
IF Biden, Edwards, Richardson, and Obama were all campaigning in Michigan, it would definitely put that back in the Blue column!

14. To me, it certainly sounded like a speech made by a VP candidate.
That would be just fine with me. Hell, I was asking for in in November of last year, but admittedly, the order was different.
