Thousands of Democrat supporters turned out in Springfield, Illinois, to cheer on their Presidential ticket. Obama praised the Delaware senator and said together the two would take the country in a new direction. In his pitch, Biden pointed to difficulties in the American economy, saying the country needed a change in direction. Observers say Obama's choice of Biden, one of Washington's most senior senators, makes up for a perceived deficit in experience.
