Biden is no magic cure for Obama's campaign. The polls are not encouraging. Each time they point out how well-qualified Biden is, Obama looks worse.
And don't forget, that the closer the day will come, lots of people will lose their enthusiasm for the first Black nominee. Sort of like those "civil rights activists of the 1950's and '60's who wanted the Blacks integrated, but not in their families. Sure they should be bussed to better schools, but not their kids' schools etc.
For others, the minute the novelty wears off and they look for the "meat" in the candidate and find him too anorexic. No, it's not because he's Black. They finally stopped supporting him because he's Black and then they saw that he's not qualified. One can be "pro-Black," or colorblind and still not think Barack Obama is suited to be elected US President this year.
