Joe Biden wasn't picked to in order to get Obama elected

[Kber]

He was picked to help Obama get REelected.

In four years we will be deciding whether or not the Obama administration was successful or not. With Biden, the chances of success just got that much better.

3. more than that

with all due deference to Obama's vision, enthusiasm, charisma...Joe will be the bulldog who gets stuff passed. Also a wise advisor - the kind of person Obama can trust to weigh tough decisions with.

He picked the best person to "take care of us" regardless of whether "anything ever happened."

5. He also competes with McC for the sentimental leanings of the media.

He's universally liked, and people want this for him, as well.

7. Don't kid yourself, Obama picked Biden because he gives him the best chance to win

Yea, maybe most of all those other reasons too but don't be confused on how the game is being played. Even if they get placed in office it will still be no cakewalk after they get there.

4. Not sure about your title.

I'm among those who made the decision based on the Biden pick, and I suspect there are a lot of us.

Still, I'm not interested in an argument about who achieves victory. Let's just win.

8. Don't want to fight either.

Does the edit make it better?
