The Democratic National Convention kicks off today in Denver, CO. Over the weekend we learned that Senator Obama chose Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) as his Vice Presidential running mate. Senator Biden has been a US senator for over 35 years.
The choice of Senator Biden is to fill in gaps in Obama’s resume and be a critic of senator McCain, who he has known for over 30 years. This week is critical for senator Obama. He has to show the people that he is ready to lead. He also needs critics within his own party to get on board with their support and negate statements they have said in the past. His current running mate is one of them and Senator Hilary Clinton is the other major critic. Their comments about senator Obama’s lack of experience and McCain being a better choice may hurt Obama in the end because he may not be able to shake the implications. Of course, with their attack ads that are using the words of other democrats against Obama, the republicans are counting on this to give McCain the White House in November. I guess a gentleman’s campaign is no longer a possibility. Duck, because a lot of mud will be slung.
