Rep. John Lewis on Biden for VP

“I am pleased," said Rep. John Lewis, "that Sen. Barack Obama has added my good friend and colleague Sen. Joe Biden to the ticket. Senator Biden is in a class by himself. He is an expert on foreign policy, whose heart and values are firmly rooted with the people he represents. He is a leader who has worked for decades in Washington, but his home has always remained with his constituents in Delaware. He is uniquely suited and well-qualified to serve as Sen. Obama’s partner in the urgent mission to bring the change Americans are seeking, restoring domestic stability and returning this nation to its place as an international leader.”
