When your wireless PDA raps its ring tone at 3 a.m.

... it's a text message that Joe Biden is Obama's veep. None of the 150-year-old tethered phone technology that McCain knows how to answer.

Personally, I waited to find out till just now, and I'm fine with that. I'm also not that excited about Biden, but there it is. I hope he's comfortable with strong message discipline, which is essential to any Vice Presidential candidate, not to mention any sitting Vice President. I have my doubts.

Can we now move on to winning the election?
