With Sarah Palin's super star status coming over night, it seems that Barack Obama's VP choice Joe Biden has been keeping an extremely low profile. Well that seems like it is all about to change. According to Newsweek "Biden is planning a more prominent role to help validate Barack Obama among white working-class voters and criticize the Republican rival he's long called a friend" I wasn't aware that it took your running mate to validate you among voters. Shouldn't Obama be able to do that himself? After all, he is the one that is planning to run the country. It's awfully ironic that, though, Obama wants to be viewed as a washington outsider, it's taking a senator that has been in politics for 22 years to validate him.
