Obama/Biden: why, why, why?

Yes, I'll still cast my ballot for Barack Obama in November because he's the more rational of the two main choices for President.  But I don't see how choosing uberhack Joe Biden (who, to be fair, can occasionally sound like he's actually read a position paper or two) can be spun as a positive decision--unless Obama and David Axelrod have a fantasy of Biden being a sort of Spiro Agnew-esque putdown machine on the campaign trail.

And Obama has given a bountiful gift to the Republicans--who can rehash Biden's various verbal missteps (remember the plagiarism from British pol Neil Kinnock's speech, for one thing) ad nauseum in radio/TV ads this week and next.
