Contest Directions: 
The long awaited announcement of Obama's running mate was made on Saturday morning - it's Joe Biden, the senior senator from Delaware. Obama camp's strategy behind such choice is to add to the ticket the person with strong foreign policy and national security experience - the two areas where Barack Obama is losing to Republican nominee John McCain. Biden will also help the ticket to win his home "swing state" - Delaware.
Biden unsuccessfully ran for the office in 1988 and 2008. He is one of the longest serving US senators - serving his sixth consecutive term, and planning to be reelected for the seventh. Biden is not intending to give up his senator seat unless Obama-Biden ticket wins the 2008 presidential elections. Many analysts were surprised that Hillary Clinton was not chosen as Obama's running mate. She does bring the experience and women voters with her, but Clinton's biggest problem is that she would ruin the "change" message - the main message in Obama's campaign.

Some examples are: show how he can help Obama win the 2008 elections, show what sensations or scandals Biden figure can bring to these elections, merge Joe Biden with other politicians or celebrities, photoshop senator Biden in movies and paintings, etc.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | Joseph Biden (Born November 20, 1942) — is an American politician, USA senator from Delaware State (from 1973) and member of Democratic Party. According to CNN, Barack Obama, the candidate for president of the US from the Democratic party, has selected Joseph Biden as the candidate for the post of Vice-president on August 23, 2008.
Joseph Biden is known for his contradictory statements against Barack Obama. During one of his speeches, he said: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man”.
Majority of Americans interpreted this comment as racially unacceptable. Biden apologized before Barack Obama. In one of the interviews, Obama confirmed that he interpreted this statement as offensive.
Joseph Biden has become senator at the age of 30 years in 1973 and since then was re-elected from the State of Delaware.
Senator Barack Obama, leader of presidential race from democrats, and Joseph Biden, senator-democrat and candidate for the post of vice-president of United States, for the first time came together in pre-election meeting, stating, that America should put an end to “failed foreign policy” of George Bush and not allow John McCain, republican candidate and supporting the same foreign policy, to enter the White house.
“We know what we'll get from the other (Republican) side. It'll be four more years of the same policy which caused the economic catastrophe inside the country and failed international policy”, - stated Obama, speaking on Saturday along with Biden in Springfield’s (Illinois State).
Projecting Senator Biden as running mate for the post of Vice President, Obama stressed that Biden would be an “excellent vice-president”.
Thus, without citing the name of vice-president of United States Richard Cheney, Obama stated that Biden is different political leader and will not create “secret working group on energy, filled with representatives of big oil companies and will not be vice-president, who misinterprets the facts”.
In his statement, Joe Biden also criticized the energy and foreign policy of Bush administration.
“We are not in a position to allow four more years of such foreign policy, which has destroyed our alliances and sacrificed our moral stand in the world", - stated Biden.
According to the candidate for the post of vice-president of United States, American voters should not allow “four more years of “no-energy” policy, who is written by “Big Oil” for it and which makes us, in our country, more and more dependent on hostile countries, that literally puts America under threat”.
Citing that McCain “supports by 95%” the policies of Bush, Biden warned that election of republican candidate to White House implies that the present policy will not change.
“You cannot change America, if you know, that the first four years of president will look the same way as previous eight years of presidency of George Bush", - warned Biden.
It seems that comfortable victory may not be possible. Nevertheless, Biden will help Obama in garnering additional votes. He is extremely popular in eastern states and, especially, among “Blue Collars” in USA – white hard workers, who till this time, did not decide whether “Obama is required” or not. Biden can pull some votes to his side. But his most biggest quality, perhaps, that he is not Hillary Clinton and even if he tries hard, he may not eclipse Obama.
In USA, 65-year-old Joseph Biden, who is Chairman of Senate Committee on Foreign Relations from 2001, is almost in unison called leading expert of democrats on foreign policy, “foreign policy guru”, and his choice “most deft step” of Obama for entire last year. Particularly he, Biden, indicates weighted opinion, is in a condition to provide 47-year-old Obama the insufficient experience in foreign affairs, for which he is abused by opponents and doubting voters. With Biden, victory of Obama is 100% if the democrats are to be trusted.
