A quick scan of the various polls reveals no bounce at all for Barack Obama following the announcement of the selection of Joe Biden as his running mate.
Polls indicate that the race for the White House is still in a dead-heat, with John McCain and Barack Obama in a statistical tie.
In fact, many observers note a 'ho-hum' attitude among most voters in response to the addition of Biden to the ticket.
Obama's selection of Biden is, in fact, a curious one. Biden represents Delaware. He brings no significant electoral votes to the table, neither does he help Obama by being a significant influence in one of the all-important 'swing states.'
Further, Biden, as a 36-year veteran of the Senate, seems to belie the Obama message of freshness, newness, hope, and change.
And thus, the question arises once again as to Obama's wisdom in decision-making. What on earth was he thinking?

If nothing else, the obama campaign keeps me surprised. How the hell do/did they get this far, being this stupid. I am no fan of McCain, but even JFKerry wasen't this laughable on a daily basis.
