Obama announces VP selection Joe Biden

Joe Biden has officially been announced to be Barak Obama's running mate for election 2008.

An Obama / Biden ticket does well for those democrats who are concerned with national security since it is known to be one of his strong points.

Many assumed that Barak would choose Joe Biden because of his military experience. A text message announcing the VP candidate was not expected until early Saturday morning, although a reliable source seems to have broken the news Friday evening on August 22.

Many like the fact that Biden is experienced, but with a campaign based on change, Obamas supporters have been a little wary about picking a politician who has so much of his background based in Washington DC.

For now the race for the presidency is still close and we will soon see who the next person in the oval office will be. Surely many will be relieved that Bush is no longer in office, although that won't be enough to satisfy many of his dissenters who would rather see him impeached and punished for getting the country into a situation of conflict in the mideast.
