So first glance...
Huge differences. Most obvious? The racial issue.
Second on the docket? Age. Biden is 65.
He's been in the senate since the late 1970's, and some columnists from CNN have said that Biden's experience will make up for Obama's lack thereof.
The question also arose though: if Obama is trying to enact "change," why bring in an attack dog like Biden who's been in the game so long he's probably used to the status quo? The optimistic side says it is first necessary to learn the rules before you can properly break them, and Biden will be Obama's teacher in terms of old laws.
Also, Obama can have faith that Biden will know who's in charge when it is time to break the rules.
So it seems. We'll let it play out, shall we?

I think Biden was a good pick. Obama should use him to do his negative campaigning against McCain since he apparently is trying to take the "high road".
