Fit for Command

There was one president on that stage in St. Louis last night. Beside him was the mayor of a small town of 5,000 people.

Joe Biden would not only be a capable president, he'd be a great one. In his most important executive decision to date, Barack Obama displayed superb judgment and true love for his country by choosing Biden. The same can't be said of John McCain, whose running mate got through last night's proceedings with a series of winks, charming smiles, and total avoidance of substance on the issues.

Biden was calm, respectful, and in command. In a likable manner, he provided a clear glimpse into the depth of his knowledge and intelligence. He was in touch with both the American middle class and the complex issues of foreign policy. In a word, he was presidential.

I'd trust Joe Biden to run this country in a heartbeat.
