Well, it's shortly after midnight Saturday morning and everyone is still waiting for Barack Obama to announce his selection of a running mate. However, it looks like Virginia Governor Tim Kaine and Indiana Senator Evan Bayh have been eliminated, leaving Delaware Senator Joe Biden as the likely selection.
If it indeed turns out to be Biden, he brings a great deal of foreign policy experience and gravitas to the ticket and could help with the Catholic and white working-class vote. He is also a good debater and campaigner. However, he would be a risky selection. He is prone to gaffs and has a history of making controversial statements. Apparently, though, Obama is willing to take this risk. We'll see.
