CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Biden in hot water with some Ohioans « - Blogs from CNN.com

Quote:
(CNN) — Joe Biden's off-the-cuff remarks on the trail have at times taken the Obama campaign off-message, but the Delaware senator's latest riff just may have landed him in hot water with voters — and die hard football fans — in a key battleground state.

Speaking to members of the University of Delaware football team Friday morning, the Democratic VP candidate said he thinks the Fightin Blue Hens (1-1 this season) could thrash a certain team from Ohio.

"I was out in Ohio," he said while fiddling with a football in his hands. "I told the folks in Ohio that we'd kick Ohio State's ass!" (It remains unclear if Biden actually ever told Ohio voters this.)
A big no-no Joe. I have family in Ohio - they are the most rabid fans around.

Who cares, should he pretend otherwise just to get sports fans support?

Thank you.

McCain folks are in their grasping-at-straws phase.

My family in Ohio could care less. They're more concerned with the economy.
