Biden isn't any kind of drag on the ticket. It's basically the veep's role to be the guy who takes incoming for the president, by being a joke (Quayle), a lackey (Humphrey, Bush, Gore), an uber-Dick (Nixon, Cheney) or some combination (Agnew). Biden's performance is well within expected bounds, kind of an older Quayle-with-gravitas who makes a lot of harmless gaffes. Nobody who isn't partisan really holds any of it against him, or Obama. And Obama campaign ethos is grounded so much in real or pretend super-confidence (ala-Bush 2000) that they'd never make such a transparently desperate move as dropping him.
