Nope. VP Candidates tend to ape the top dogs views - see Kerry/Edwards or Reagan/Bush. The other campaigns try to make it an issue, but people generally don't care - they see the two candidates "coming together". Hell, if Obama picks Biden I'm sure that the McCain folk already have the Biden clips from last winter ready to go, but it won't matter.
