Joe Biden was in rare form yesterday at a campaign appearance in Langhorne, Pa., responding to the Republican National Convention with a list of things that John McCain and Sarah Palin left out of their speeches.
Biden lacks the celebrity status of Palin, but he's perfect for the job required of a vice presidential candidate -- taking the fight directly to the opposition. Palin got some nice sarcastic shots in during her acceptance speech, but she's so green the McCain campaign is hiding her from the press, according to Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic.
A senior McCain campaign official advises that, despite the gaggle of requests and pressure from the media, Gov. Sarah Palin won't submit to a formal interview anytime soon. She may take some questions from local news entities in Alaska, but until she's ready -- and until she's comfortable -- which might not be for a long while -- the media will have to wait. The campaign believes it can effectively deal with the media's complaints, and their on-the-record response to all this will be: "Sarah Palin needs to spend time with the voters."
Advantage Obama.

It's funny my impression on VP selection has flipped 180 degrees* from the original announcements. Biden seemed like a "Meh", safe pick and Palin seemed like a really good move to steal votes. Now Joe seems like the perfect hatchet man for Obama and the Palin choice is either inspired or a train wreck. We'll see. Either way, Biden should skip ever referring to other people's famous phrases.
* Private to Jason K. in Dallas: I mean 360 degrees.
way to go palin. you are a very good example for the nation;s teenagers. you could'nt take control of your teenage daughter so how in the world can you control a large nation as the USA.Get real Sarah stop fooling your self. Teenage pregnancy is a huge problem in this country as it is. Are you thinking of leading this country by the example that you set.
Yea, 'reaervist' is right, it's the same reason that Algore wasn't elected preisdent, because he was such a pathetic father he allowed al jr. to get a DUI and reckless driving charge.
algore proved he can't handle the job with that one. Same with O'Biden, his crooked, lobbyist whelp, will cost him the VP spot.
When will Obama wise up and dump that srappy kid from Scranton for his wretched parenting skills?
*******
What dank hole do these idiots crawl out of?
