Dems, if you could make the switch, would you?

Wouldn't it be great to have woman or a black man as president was heard often during the last election.

How about looking at policy instead. Is it because the neocons in the democratic party are not very different from the neocons in the republican party so race or sex is the deciding factor now?

Keep backing the status quo and you'll get more of the same failed policies. Only the administrations hand picked winners and losers will change.

I think that was a big reason why he was picked in 08. He has that tough guy blue collar ride the train appeal that lower/middle class whites like that I don't think Obama could portray. Just speculation though.

To an extent. Biden was a well established and respected member of congress, also a real blue collar, roll up your sleeves and get to work northeastern democrat that is a good VP and fit for Obama.
I think he's done a good job and no need to replace him.
