What the VP Picks Say About the Presidential Candidates Themselves

From Andrew Sullivan:

"We have had two big presidential decisions from both candidates - the first time we can clearly judge their decision-making skills. Obama's was prudent, cautious, thoroughly vetted, and serious about governing. McCain's was impulsive, rash, barely vetted and decided at the last minute by a small coterie that left everyone else gasping."

From the other side of the ideological spectrum, EJ Dionne, Jr., in today's WaPo:

"There is also the question of principle. In picking Biden as his running mate, Obama made a prudent choice. It is McCain who is asking us to roll the dice. You'd think that people who call themselves conservative would have a problem with that."
