Barack Obama picked Joe Bidon to be his running mate. Surprised? Kind of but not really. He has to pick somebody and I think people will see Joe Bidon as a counterpart to John Mcain. You know, another old white guy from back in the day. Plus Joe made some slightly religious remarks during the democratic debates around january or so. Of course when Bidon did that he went straight down the tubes in the liberal democrat party!
But this ought to soften people up on Obama. Some of the Roosevelt democrats that are still kicking around will like seeing a guy like Bidon as VP. Seniors are the one big disadvantage Obama faces right now and perhaps this choice of running mate will mend that.
