Could the idea with picking Biden be that they are in fact hoping Mr. Smarm inevitably puts his foot in his mouth?   Someone as gaffe-prone as Mr. Smarm will probably say something stupid and outrageous enough at some point to draw strong political fire from the right.  That might possibly draw it away from Obama, which could be useful.

If you've ever listened to Dick Morris, he always says that when he was a Clinton advisor and the GOP attacked Hillary, the Clintonistas were cool with it because the GOP wasn't making political attacks on Bill.  I wonder if in part a similar philosophy is at work here.
