Reed was younger than Biden and could have won on his own in 2016.

Obama's Vice President likely wouldn't have mattered for 2008. But for future elections, Reed might have been a better candidate than either Biden or Clinton.

Obama probably did not pick Reed because he was short for TV, and an Obama-Reed ticket would have seen Reed's seat go to a Rhode Island Republican, and that Republican may have won in the 2010 midterms.
