On August 23, 2008, Barack Obama selected six-term Senator Joe Biden to be the vice presidential nominee in his bid for the White House. At about 3 a.m. EST, Obama supporters received text messages with the statement: "Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee."CNN.com: Obama picks Joe Biden as VP nominee (August 23, 2008)
Obama's selection of Biden will likely quell arguments that the Democratic ticket is inexperienced in foreign policy matters, as Biden has served in the U.S. Senate since 1972.Mother Jones: Biden's Experience (August 22, 2008) The choice will not, however, come without its criticism. Biden himself has taken jabs at Obama's inexperience, and even supported Republican rival and current presidential nominee John McCain as a suitable running mate for John Kerry in 2004.MSNBC.com: Biden endorses a fusion ticket: Kerry-McCain (March 16, 2004)
