The VP Pick was the first 'real' presidential decision made by either candidate. The truth is, Obama proved he would make decisions for the good of the country.
Both candidates have a high risk of death in the first 4 years of their presidency. McCain is old, and could die... no shocker there. But Obama is also going to have several attempts on his life as president. This is the elephant in the room. He will be a magnet for crazy religious people (who think he's a Muslim mole), crazy racist, and crazy anti-gov types that think he's a raging socialist/new world order shill. (And of course there are just the plain crazy people.)
So what we are really looking at are two candidates that have a significant chance of dying during their presidency.
Obama chose someone for VP that will help him govern as well as be a decent leader if he is killed. McCain chose someone who will help him win the election but who will be a piss-poor leader if he dies in office.
In short...
-- Palin is proof that McCain would rather win an election than do what's right for America.
-- Biden is proof that Obama is taking on the responsibilities of the presidency, even at the risk of losing the election.
