Joe Biden is hoping to be Barack Obama's indispensable man. The vice president-elect was chosen by Obama for his Washington experience, as a senator since 1973, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and former chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Obama advisers say Biden will serve as an eminence grise and senior counselor to the new commander in chief from Day 1 and won't be relegated to the role of fill-in at funerals and odd man out in policy discussions. This marginalization has been imposed on some vice presidents in the past, especially when they have seemed disloyal or untalented. Biden is neither.
