It is often said that the first presidential decision a candidate ever makes is the selection of a vice presidential nominee.
Sen. Barack Obama displayed true wisdom and judgment when he selected Sen. Joe Biden. Sen. John McCain's first presidential decision could not have been more different. In one fell swoop, he reinforced questions about whether he has the judgment and temperament to be Commander-in-Chief, while simultaneously proving that his famed maverick image is just that - a phony façade.
