The text message has come in, and the VP pick for H. is Delaware Senator Joe Biden. This is not much of a surprise, as we heard about the private plane to Delaware last night, and most pundits picked Biden as the VP yesterday as the text message circus progressed. I have to say, Biden is probably the toughest, most confrontational pick H. could have made; a foul-mouthed and intemperate, yet experienced and well qualified attack dog.

McCain now needs to pick Mitt Romney, not just to counter Biden's bluster with smooth, intelligent debate, but to have a vice-president who will bring great strengths to the McCain administration, not just to the presidential race.

We'll know in another week...
