There's some talk of it amongst Obama watchers. I think that would be great. He has experience, plenty of cred in the foreign policy field, is old, and is really pretty down to earth. I don't think you can hit him with the "elitist" tag (he rides the subway to and from work every day, according to WaPo), and yet he's smart and talks to people like grownups, something the current prez and Sen. McCain don't always do.
I think it's fair to say that people want change with this election, but they are still needing some reassurance about Obama. Biden helps him with that, more than a lot of the names that have been thrown about. Maybe more than anyone. Oh, and he's Catholic, too, so there's another voting bloc checked off the list. (I realize the D's won't get all the Catholics. But Biden could help.)
What else is going on? Republicans are supporting Obama.
Also, there's a campaign, to put the Obama logo on barns in Ohio, which I think is cool. Who knows how it will affect votes, probably not much, but it's good to see the Dem candidate's campaign trying to appeal to rural voters and being creative about it.
