Another plus for Vice President Joe Biden as Barack Obama’s choice for a running mate last year!
Biden used his long time friendship with Arlen Specter to convince the Republican senator over the last five years of the virtue of switching his loyalties to the Democratic party, and it finally worked yesterday!
Biden, often criticized for his incessant talking and gaffes, certainly is not perfect, but this is just one evidence of how significant he is to the Obama Administration, and I believe that when the history of the Obama Presidency is written, Biden will have played a very prominent role in its success.
Biden has many talents, abilities and great connections as a result of his 36 year long career in the Senate, and now the Democratic agenda has been promoted by his close ties to Arlen Specter, who is welcome back to the Democratic party he left in 1965.
