AHC WI: Joe Biden Wins 2008 Democratic Primary

Joe Biden came in fourth in the Democratic primary, with a whopping zero delegates. Can Diamond Joe beat Obama and Clinton, and become the first to beat out two potential first-evers? Who would he pick for a Vice President? How would Biden do against McCain?
 
The most difficult part of this is getting him the nomination - given his affinity for retail politics, it'd probably have to be an Iowa win, and that seems unlikely. If he gets it, though, he should win the election. 2008 was probably always going to be a Democratic year, and he can counter two of McCain's main selling points: experience, and expertise in foreign policy. Lower turnout means he probably doesn't do quite as well as Obama, but it'll be a solid win.

VP-wise, I think he'd be inclined to pick either a woman or a minority, in the hope of increasing turnout. Obama's actually a possibility.
