OKAY, BIDEN STARTED OFF STRONG, but ran long. The Obama folks may want to persuade him that less is more — but I suspect that his own staffers tried that earlier in this election season. Still, a good performance, though not in Bill Clinton’s league by any means. It certainly supports this theory of why Biden was chosen.

UPDATE: The McCain campaign responds.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Coming out after Biden, Barack Obama demonstrates that he, at least, understands the “less is more” principle.
