Called it!

Obama needed someone with a lengthy track record and foreign policy experience...of all the maybes, Biden best fit it.

Biden is best fit for the job of Secretary of State.

But VP will work just fine.

Unlike Lieberman or Edwards, Biden will crush in the VP debate whoever the GOP running mate will be.

Here's the text of the email if anyone is interested. The automated use of whatever first name one signed up with could have made for interesting headings..
Golly --

I have some important news that I want to make official.

I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.

Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois -- the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.

I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change.

Please let Joe know that you're glad he's part of our team. Share your personal welcome note and we'll make sure he gets it:

Thanks for your support,

Barack


P.S. -- Make sure to turn on your TV at 2:00 p.m. Central Time to join us or watch online at http://www.BarackObama.com.

I wonder if you will be receiving a phone call on your cell phone asking you to donate money to Obama and Biden.
