I think Biden's a smart choice as well. Connects with blue collar workers, originally from PA (swing state), plenty of inside experience and military grounding.
Considering the Reps. pushed Bush as the 'president you'd most want to drink a beer with' in the past few elections, I'm really not surprised that the Dems are turning the tables and painting McCain that way; especially as it further distances him from their populous base. Big Business may be the economic help the Republicans need, but it won't get them the Joe Sixpack votes. That's why they used the 1-2 combination of Bush and Cheney to get both sides.
