Joe Biden--The Good and the Bad

Joe Biden got very emotional in his VP acceptance speech, largely because Biden views the VP nomination as a validation of his political career. Last night, that quest for validation gave his speech an emotional authenticity that added a great deal to the oratorical quality of the speech.

But the downside is that Biden needs that validation so badly. That's what often makes him questionable as a top level politician.
