Why indeed. Obama is not necessarily planning to keep him as a running mate. But he might be useful at present. Hillary Clinton's supporters are an unhappy lot and many would like to dislodge Obama during the convention. Many super delegates must be skittish looking at Obama's poor performance and slippage in the polls. His hypnotic worship of Europe and China will only serve to continually drive mainstream voters away from him.
Putting Biden on the ticket can get him past the dangers of the convention. Biden has long standing and deep ties to many super delegates, labor leaders, Washington insiders and Democrat party insiders. Biden will insulate him against any possible revolts at the convention.
Then, after the convention Obama could replace Biden with someone more to his liking. And Biden would then join the many people that Obama has been forced by convenience to throw under the bus.
