First, I hope Sen. Biden has a higher IQ than me. I don't have anywhere near his responsibilities.
Second, I think what he said was quite genuine and I choose to take him completely at face value.

Perhaps he isn't full of himself, but he is certainly full of something. He's just an old windbag....

She's only 44. How dare you call her old.

Lipstick!

This thread is about Biden - not McCain.

If so then give him credit for his honesty, that's EXACTLY why McShame picked PitPalin....

So. How long before Biden pulls an Eagleton? Any guesses?

If Palin does well in the ABC interview, I'm guessing by the weekend he'll be gone.

I don't know how well such an obvious ploy will sit with the electorate.

Video.


I said here a few days ago the Obama camp is tossing around bumping
off Biden for Hillary.....
could be this is a toe in the water....
I will tell him now, it will backfire, it will show that even HE can not trust his judgement.
He screwed up big time. He knew it when Hillary spoke at the convention
then when Palin come on Mccain's ticket, it knew it even more. But when she gave that speech at Mccain's party, he went into heart failure!!
Oh what dreadful webs we weave, when first we pratice to decieve!!

With Biden, you get a guy who will speak off the cuff, and that is what "worried" some people, as if it somehow is a bad thing to be open, honest, and willing to admit we ALL make mistakes from time to time.


If you really beleive that, then why did they bash Bill Clinton so much??

I fixed your post. The right wing radicals are working overtime to figure out a way to get McCain off the ticket. Their real dream ticket would be

Cheney/Palin-08
