I don’t think there is any political commentator I like better than David Gergen, who served in the Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton administrations. He is even-tempered, plain-spoken but specific and nearly always correct. He also is the one who said back in the late spring that the longer the Democratic primary lasted, the more likely it was that either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton was going to have to have the other as his or her running mate.
But last night, listening to Gergen praise Biden (and praise isn’t even a strong enough word), I’d love to have the chance to ask Gergen what he thinks now re: his belief that Obama needed to select Clinton.
Watch and listen to both of these very short clips:

I think you just possibly might be giving Gergen too much credit.
I’ve witnessed Gergen many, many times giving out the standard Village answers.
Biden, indeed, very obviously, did a good job last night.
I actually agree with every single word you just wrote. I love Gergen too and think his comments were dead on the money. Biden killed.
Reverend - what is a “standard Village answer”?
