This is change?

Paul Marks of Samizdata.net makes these comments:

As for Senator Biden himself: a totally pro-union (i.e. supportive of government special pro-union laws) politician. And someone who is ardently in favour of expanding the size and scope of American government health, education and welfare programs - a Welfare Statist.
Almost needless to say Senator Biden is also a 'gun control' man and so on.
However: Senator Biden's son will be off to serve in Iraq this October - which will show patriotism. And Senator Biden himself is strongly anti Castro - and is clearly from the non-communist left. Perhaps this is what Senator Obama meant when he promised (on CBS) that he would pick someone with very different opinions from his own, who would "challenge my thinking".
