2. In the Senate I bet. Joe got some members on board with the stimulus bill
when needed. Of course, it was Specter, Snowe and Collins. Unfortunately this time around he will have to work on some Dems. Not sure what you can do with some of these conservadems thought but go around some of them.
4. You really underestimate the guys appeal in the senate
The media may have been successful enough at promoting the gaffe meme, but Biden is knowledgeable and well liked in the senate, even among republicans.
I don't think Joe was selected as VP just for his foreign policy experience. His influence in the Senate is an enormous asset for Obama and the president is right to take advantage of it.
I like to see Biden do some town hall meetings too. I saw how he handled auto workers in Michigan a few weeks ago and he received several standing ovations. He is a brilliant, down-to-earth speaker if the media would just get off the stupid "gaffe" meme.
