I must assume you are fairly young.
Biden has made serious Presidential runs several times.
Many middle age and older voters know him.

Several times? He had short-lived campaigns in 1988 and 2008. Many voters do know of him, just like they know of Lieberman, Kerry, and other politicians. However, the Democrats & Obama need to appeal to Americans beyond the politically knowledgeable. Biden may be a great choice if all voters were intelligent and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, they aren't. They need to go with the marketing potential.

Good luck with marketing that man - generic Washington politician #2983.
