Its hard to imagine that an individual as stupid as Biden can be where he is. The guy needs a serious fucking bitch slap. Man that would feel good.
half of success is just showing up.
same reason many guys advance. They show up, do just enough, and let others leave/fail around them.
mccain was far too senile, angry, and indecisive to be an effective canddiate in 2008. He just kept showing up, and letting hte others tear each other up, meltdown, and run out of money. He was carrying his own shit, riding coach, just plugging away.
Biden's just showed up for 30 years, and was rewarded for consistent, predictable loyalty. And as veep, he's been exactly that, outside of a few goofy quotes at ceremonies. Nothing monumental.
Palin, as VP, would have been 10x the stories. "My job is to get in there and mix things up with the congress". No, dumbshit, it's really not.
