Joe Biden of Delaware late Friday night Aug. 22, 2008 to be his vice presidential running mate, according to a Democratic official, balancing his ticket with an older congressional veteran well-versed in foreign policy and defense issues. In Washington, Biden, 65, is known as a collegial figure even when he's competitive _ one who can spin flowery praise one moment and biting fulmination the next. - posted on 08/23/2008

(FILES): This March 28, 2007 file photo show US Democratic Senator from Delaware Joe Biden speaking at the Building and Construction Trade Department, AFL-CIO conference in Washington, DC. Touted as a running mate for Democratic White House contender Barack Obama, Biden, Chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, ran briefly in this year's race for the Democratic nomination and has vast experience in the national-security debate. That experience may be what Obama needs in his White House battle with veteran Republican John McCain, but Biden is also something of a loose cannon: he is known for a long-winded speaking style and the occasional gaffe. Biden, 65, has commuted to Washington daily by train from his state of Delaware, following the death of his first wife and infant daughter in a car crash just before Christmas 1972. - Re: Obama introduces VP pick Biden at Ill. rallyposted on 08/23/2008
