A VP's past policy decisions and/or legilative history have little bearing, since it's the President that sets policy, and the VP that goes along with it. Except for Cheney, who has had to run things for a bumbling, incompetant idiot, that has alway been true. Gore had serious policy differences with Clinton, Bush had serious policy differences with Reagan. But they were good choices because they helped sell the nation on the President as the right choice, and the opponent as the wrong choice. That's exactly what Biden will do, and will do exceedingly well, IMO. Better than any other VP possibilities by far. |
