As Senator Joe Biden of Delaware energetically made his way onto the stage Saturday, his gait somewhere between a power-walk and a jog, only seconds separated him from history. Today would be his grand debut as Barack Obama’s running mate. Speculation climaxed late Friday, as analysts, pundits and strategists wondered out loud what a Biden [...]
