So, for the Obama camp, what will be the united response to the reminder of Joe Biden's embarrassments in '88 that killed his presidential bid that year? Or that, he may have been a worse student that Bush (C average, bottom decile in his law school class).
Not that there particularly significant, but considering the glee taken in bashing Bush with the same insignificancies, I'm sure it'll come up.
You can't argue he lacks political experience. You can argue that he lacks any other kind of experience. He finished his education in 1969, was elected to his first political office in 1970, staged a bit of an upset in a surprise senate run in 1973 and has held that office ever since.
Can't say I'm personally much familiar with him. Most of my awareness of him is from the Alito and Roberts hearings where he came off as the most pompous ass of a large group of pompous asses.
Biden is also currently running for re-election to his Senate seat. I assume he'll give that up (but he's not required to, is he?), but that would give Deleware only a couple months to rally behind a replacement Dem.
