Once again it's time for "Face Off," The Political Machine's semi-regular feature highlighting opposing opinions on the big news of the day. This time our bloggers take on Barack Obama's pick of Joe Biden to be his vice presidential running mate.

Liza Porteus Viana is pleased by the news and makes her case in a piece called "Obama Made the Best Choice With Biden."

With his pick of Joe Biden as a vice president, Barack Obama has addressed on of the biggest criticisms about him – his lack of experience, particularly in the area of foreign policy.

Mark Impomeni on the other hand believes Biden is a veep candidate only the GOP can love. His post is called "The Best Possible Choice for Republicans," which begins:

Sen. Barack Obama's selection of Delaware Senator Joe Biden may turn out to be the biggest mistake of his campaign. Bigger than the European trip, and more lasting than the position switches.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
