I've noticed a number of comments regarding Joe Biden's lengthy Senatorial career making him the ultimate insider. I've noted folks observing that Barack Obama was 11 when Biden first won election to that body (I was 9).

But there is another aspect to his Senatorial career that ought to be noted by those considering whether how out of place Biden is on the ticket of"Hope and Change" -- when Joe Biden became a US Senator, John McCain was still a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Think about it -- liberals often denigrate McCain's heroic suffering on behalf of his country because it was so long ago. If that is the case, what place does a man who has been a senator for three-and-a-half decades have being on their national ticket?
