Also, Obama needed and wanted a partner to help him with the greatest economic crisis ever. Biden could do that with his congressional experience. Plus he was seen as too old to run in 2016 so he could focus on helping the administration and not on a campaign (lol)
It was obvious Hillary wanted to run again. Being SoS for one term both gave her foreign policy cred but also allowed her time to run. And promising her that was enough to get the Clintons on to fully commit to campaigning for Obama both in 2008 and 2012
Also, a black man and a women ticket might have been seen as too radical in 2008
