Americans do prefer someone with executive experience, even though on the face it might not seem sexy of an issue. But who was the last Senator to be president, Nixon? (that string will obviously be broken). Whereas a number of governors have been elected since then (Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush II).

This pick is also a bad one because of the massive policy differences that Obama and Biden have. That’s going to cause Obama serious problems–i.e. how can he hit McCain on Iraq when his running mate agrees with McCain?

Not WRIGHT for America has a great spoof post on the first debate being between Obama and Biden rather than Obama and McCain. http://www.notwrightforamerica.com. It encapsulates the problems with this pick.
