Everything you want to know about Biden:

I just finished reading an interesting - or at least amusing - OpEd piece on Senator Biden and thought I'd stop by to see what RPeeps are saying about the man who might be one breath away from the Presidency of the US.  How disappointing to find that while Obama, McCain and of course Palin have their own threads - very active threads at that - Biden has nada, zilch, zero.  So I am doing my part to rectify the situation.

As much as it is fun to talk about Palin's VPncy - what impact does it have on the McCain platform?  While there seems to be quite a bit of disagreement in the thread dedicated to her nomination, I don't know what there is to disagree about.  She has no experience.  She has no platform of her own.  She is as clean of a slate as you can find in politics.  I honestly don't see her impacting a McCain Presidency in any major way.  At least not in the first few years.

On the other hand, Obama picked Biden to balance out the Democratic ticket.  To add some experience to a mostly visionary campaign.  (I don't mean that as a slight.  Is there anyone who thinks Obama isn't running a campaign with an emphasis on vision?  Please, anyone who takes issue with that statement is arguing for the sake of hearing themselves think.)  I believe Biden will have a real impact on an Obama Presidency.  His role - as I see it - will be to help Obama flesh out his vision and put it into practice.  Biden's knowledge, experience, and insight will steer Obama through the difficult task of turning hope into reality.

So why isn't there a thread about him?  Why are there no heated debates?
