I'm not so sure about that.
Of the two picks, Biden for the dems and Palin for the reps I have to say that I think Palin is the only one that OVERALL has strengthened the ticket.
Here is why I think the way I do:
1. Biden is as unknown to the common man as Palin, so no real effect for a majority of voters with either pick.
2. Those that know Biden on the right-side of the aisle think he is a major tool...mostly because he is. Those in his camp think he is great, but "so what?"
3. Palin is equally appealing to her party, but has a LOT of appeal for the otherside. Especially in that she is a woman. She should be able to attract many of the Hillary supporters.
If the VP choice is supposed to strenghthen your ticket and bring in undecideds and draw from the other's base, then Palin does that. I don't see Biden doing that at all. If anything, I think he has a negative affect in that area.

Dumb move by McCain, he has sealed his defeat.
