you gotta love a guy who scant days after being elected loses his wife and young daughter in a horrible car accident but gets sworn in from the hospital bedside of his injured sons and for years and years commutes daily from his family's home to work.

his foreign policy knowledge and ethos is arguably unmatched in congress.

all you got to criticize is digging up old quotes from him made when the situation and context were much different.

Consider that, during the 1980 election cycle (when Jimmy Carter was such a widely recognized failure that the Democrat Party actually allowed Ted Kennedy to challenge him) Democrats For Reagan used a Kennedy stump speech as pro-Reagan propaganda.

My 19-year-old son, will be voting in November, finds this choice very hilarious.  My 17-year-old daughter, who will not be old enough to vote in November, thinks that Obama maybe subconsciously doesn't want to win.

This foreshadowed Biden's January 31 remark on fellow Democratic candidate and Senator Barack Obama, frequently transcribed as, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man."[36]

However, several linguists and political analysts stated that the correct transcription includes a comma after the word "African-American", which "would significantly change the meaning (and the degree of offensiveness) of Biden's comment".[37]

Still, his comments took second place on Time magazine's list of Top 10 Campaign Gaffes for 2007.[38]

In May 2004 on "Meet the Press, Joe Biden said "I think John McCain would be a great candidate for vice president,"

Picking Biden really undercuts Obama's argument that Washington is in need of change.  Biden is Washington insider from small state that was going Democratic this fall anway.  

The media is already on board defending Biden's gaffes by pointing out McCain's. Anything to get the chosen one elected, right?

The most memorable gaffe I remember of Biden's had to do with the employees at the local 7-11, and their language (Hindi?). Too funny. The GOP could just run a campaign ad of nothing but Biden's racist statements, each one followed by Obama going "uh, umm, well, uh..." It would be hilarious.

1. rush and right-wing blogs drudging up quotes on biden isn't going to change one single vote. those doing the drudging and those listening to the drudging have long made up their minds on who they're going to vote for, hence the drudging. hello, mcfly!

2. both camps will stick their foots in their mouths and have stuck their foots in their mouths.
