Obama selected six-term Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate. I simply can't believe it. Obama picked two-time loser Joe Biden, a candidate rejected by more than 36 million Democrats, who voted for Hillary and Obama over Joe Biden as the Democrat most qualified to be President.
And what does Obama get for this strategic blunder? Obama gets a running mate who said Obama is not ready to be president:

The McCain campaign throws Biden's words in Obama's face in the following new ad:
