| After Cheney
Traub, James

"Sounding board, sage on foreign policy, twister of senatorial arms: Joe Biden could be the second-most-powerful vice president in history. [...] An administration full of youthful true believers, enraptured with their heroic
leader, needs a skeptic and a scold. Obama may need one himself. And yet Biden
is also, like Obama, an optimist. As vice presidents go, he has more in common
with Hubert Humphrey, the happy warrior, than with dark Dick Cheney."
