Here's a bit from the September 1, 2008 episode of 60 Minutes with the Mighty Midget - Steve "I Love You, Barry!" Kroft:
"Let me tell you the reason I picked Joe Biden," Sen. Obama told Kroft. "Number one, he can step in and become president. And I don't think anybody has any doubt about that. Number two is that if I'm in the room making the kinds of tough decisions that the next president's going to have to make both on domestic policy and on international policy, then I want the counsel and advice of somebody who's not going to agree with me 100 percent of time - in fact, somebody what's independent enough that can push back and give me different perspectives and make sure that I'm catching any blind spots that I have. And Joe Biden doesn't bite his tongue.
Here's an interesting bit of information from the N.Y. Times:
Senators Obama and Biden voted similarly on 91 percent of votes during their shared time in the Senate
I guess it's true that they differed 9% of the time. What a joke!
