From the cited article.

Quote:
Indeed, both the McCain and Obama campaigns have similar concerns about the vice-presidential matchup in St. Louis: that Ms. Palin, of Alaska, as a new player in national politics, or Mr. Biden, of Delaware, as a loquacious and gaffe-prone speaker, could commit a momentum-changing misstep in their debate.

Biden attempted to endear himself to an Indian American supporter by telling him that in Delaware, "you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent." Not only was this an offensive line, it didn’t even make any sense: The observation, familiar to anybody who watched a comedian on cable television 15 years ago, is that Indian Americans are the only ones who work in convenience stores, not that they’re the only ones who shop there. The man can’t even keep his condescending cliches straight.

We don't need Joe Biden trying to endear himself to anyone in any foreign country.

A friggin amatuer so inexperienced, so without knowledge ,that she would humiliate herself if allowed to speak for periods of time much longer than a sound bite.

Republicans should be ashamed.
That's pretty much what Hitlery said during the primaries about Dumbo. Are you copy/pasting her supporters?

Well we did not select Hillary did we? Seems she is not on the ballot, and that should be the same with Gov Palin. I think Alaska needs her much too much to leave right now.

Depends, if FloriDUH and Michigan wasn't disenfranchised Dumbo would be a footnote of history.
