That’s the ticket.  (I got the text at 3:29 AM.)

I was enthused by precisely none of the candidates, and Biden brings with him some baggage that I worry about (mainly the history of saying bizarrely offensive things), but as these things go, it’s a not-awful choice.  The Republican oppo dump was going to come, regardless. 

MSNBC’s focusing on Biden’s comments about Obama’s experience, which I think are fairly easy to overcome, because you have the guy who said them there to rebut them.  The AP’s Ron Fournier writes another part of the McCain campaign pushback - Obama’s scurred.

Lynn Sweet is also on MSNBC declaring that the Obama campaign has broken a social contract with his supporters because the Veep pick may have been confirmed before the text message went out.  Bloggers will also be angry.  Digital blood will stain the streets!
