I've been traveling today. Just getting caught up on the reactions to Obama's choice of Joe Biden as his running mate. So, far, it looks very good. Taegan Goddard has a good rundown of what the pundits are saying (and includes the painful smarty pants Mark Halperin, who, of course takes a contrarian view. Read Jason Linkins brutal, yet beautiful, take down of Halperin here. It's classic. Jason refers to "The Page" as "like a comic book.) Taegan offers this himself:
From a purely political perspective, no presidential campaign has ever handled the announcement of a running mate so deftly. The Obama campaign set a new standard that will be studied for years.Several Republican Senators, Hagel, Lugar and Specter, have also offered praise for Biden.
And, while I missed the actual speech, I love this.
Jed has video of Biden's best line has about John McCain's "seven kitchen tables":
Mock McCain. It's so easy.
