Uppity disability calls Obama VP race a day early....

Uppity disability called it yesterday-and the NY Times and everyone else confirms this morning that Obama has picked Biden as his Vice President. (Uppity disability is asking for links, so there ya go!) Biden is good on disability issues and has a working class background.

But if you still think it's not official, here you go:

Newsweek, in an article entitled No Ordinary Joe, writes this about Biden:

First of all, he has a love of politics and public service. He never tried to get rich from his role, even though he has been in the Senate for decades. He is a fancy dresser--given to stick pin collars and French cuffs--and yet he is an unassuming son of a car salesman who takes the train home to Wilmington almost every night.

His personal story is compelling: a riches-to-rags family background; a first wife killed in a car crash; a devoted life with his second wife; a passel of grandchildren whom he adores as much as they adore him. And he's never had a hint of financial or sexual scandal.

Biden is a Catholic--a demographic must for a Democratic ticket eager to get swing voters in heavily Catholic states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio.
