it was mostly down to Biden or C. Edwards. Edwards sadly for him was knocked out of the running in the end due in part to the actions of another Edwards and the Obama campaign not wanting voters to confuse the two at the polls. Biden of course also got the advantage among senior campaign staff because of his age, foreign affairs experience and because he provides a great counterpoint to McCain.
