Would the Democrats be a more formidable team against McCain if they nominated Joe Biden?

This is a strategic and analytical question. Please don't answer these questions with "Hillary is our Earth Mother", or "Obama is the grand hero of American history" rhetoric. Same goes for all other partisan tools.

2. Joe Biden isn't a bad choice. His formidable foreign policy experience would certainly be a big help.
3. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE..
4. No. Joe Biden has never been popular outside of his home state. He's run for the nomination several times and always shoots himself in the foot on the campaign trail. To me, if you can't even beat <i>Michael Dukakis</i>, you have no business running for the office.
5. Joe Biden couldn't carry enough of the populace to make it to the primary. He certainly doesn't have the charisma or respect to beat McCain.
6. Hate to say it, but this guy is not even in the running. If the public doesn't know about you you have no shot in winning an election.
