Sen. Joe Biden | Sen. Barack Obama has picked Delaware Sen. Joe Biden to be his running mate, multiple Democratic sources tell CNN.
Delaware Sen. Joe Biden is Sen. Barack Obama's choice to be his vice-presidential running mate.
The longtime Democratic senator was long considered a likely choice for vice president, but the buzz surrounding him intensified after he returned earlier this week from a two-day trip to the Republic of Georgia after Russian troops invaded.
Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, brings years of experience that could help counter GOP arguments that an Obama administration would be inexperienced on foreign policy.
Biden abandoned his own White House run after a poor showing in Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses. He also ran for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination but dropped out after charges of plagiarism in a stump speech.
The 65-year-old was first elected to the Senate in 1972. Shortly afterwards, his first wife and daughter were killed in a car accident. He considered resigning, but decided to continue with his political career.
Biden is currently serving out his sixth term, making him Delaware's longest-serving senator.
Biden is married and has three children. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware and got a law degree from Syracuse.
In 1988, Biden suffered an aneurysm and nearly died but has recovered fully.
One of Biden's grandfathers was a Pennsylvania state senator, according to the Almanac of American Politics.
Biden will make his first big speech as the VP candidate on Wednesday, August 27 -- the third night of the Democratic convention.

Biden pick shows how Isrealis done their homework. You can't fool the people all the time. Muslim voters should abstain from going to booths in Nov. Better you reconcile with your inner thinking than regretting later by sending another dubya assistant to Oval office

Wow--very interesting. I thought Obama said that he will change Washington and I am just wondering how he is gonna change Washington since he chose someone who was in Wasington more than 30 years. If I were Obama, I wouln't choose someone like Biden, who was in Washington so many years...but will see American's reaction. Good luck Obama.
