Gravitas

So, Barak Obama picks Joe Biden as his running mate. The pick was to balance the ticket with someone with foreign policy experience and Washington experience. 8 years ago, when George W. Bush selected Dick Chaney it was exactly for the same reasons. What did the media say at the time? They ALL and I mean all came out saying that Chaney's selection added 'Gravitas' to the ticket. I'm waiting for the media's use of 'Gravitas' in response to the Biden selection.
