Straight from the mouth of Joe Biden.

Vice President Joe Biden originally turned down then presidential candidate Barack Obama's request to be his running mate, Biden said last night.

"I initially said no, that I wasn't interested," Biden said at a Democratic fundraising dinner in Pittsburgh. "He asked me to think about it."

Biden said he eventually accepted the offer "a couple months later."

Let’s be honest – the choice of Joe Biden as VP was perhaps the worst decision made by Obama during the campaign, a real sign of poor judgment. That Obama had the chance to walk away from that error and instead stuck with that bad choice when he had the chance to do better shows utter incompetence.

Unless, of course, Joe Biden was picked as a sort of life insurance – after all, I pray nightly for Obama’s health so that Joe Biden never occupies the Oval Office.
