Biden Bust

By The Daily Dish
Aug 26 2008, 12:40 PM ET

JPod is underwhelmed:

...the Biden addition has been a complete bust as a news event. The onus is now on Biden to deliver a killer speech on Wednesday and thereby allow Democrats to feel something other than disappointment at his elevation. Whatever a Hillary pick would have generated, it wouldn’t have been disappointment.

Biden was picked not as an event. He was picked because of his ability to trash the Republican record in language most Americans will understand, to treat Republican foreign policy as the disaster it has been, and to give good advice on foreign affairs if Obama wins. His impact has yet to be seen - or measured.
