Two of the other four finalists were from outside the Beltway - Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine (the fourth being Indiana Senator Evan Bayh). To vaccinate against GOP attempts to paint Biden as an insider, the campaign has been careful to underline Biden's distance from Washington. "He never moved to Washington," Obama said while introducing Biden. "Instead, night after night, week after week, year after year, he returned home to Wilmington...
