Barack Obama Picks Joe Biden - So Does John McCain
Barack Obama Picks Joe Biden - So Does John McCain
Filed under: Election, General — Mark @ 3:21 am


It didn’t take long for news of Barack Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate to stir John McCain’s campaign PR machine. The first comments from McCain’s people were released quickly and contained a fair measure of respect for Biden himself. In fact, they relied wholly on Biden’s assessment of Obama when they were competing for the Democratic nomination:

“There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama’s lack of experience than Joe Biden. Biden has denounced Barack Obama’s poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing — that Barack Obama is not ready to be President.”


Clearly McCain has admiration for Biden’s opinions. So McCain presumably would agree just as vigorously with Biden’s assessment of him.

“John McCain remains wedded to the Bush Administration’s myopic view of a world defined by terrorism <...> It’s time for a fundamental change, but that’s going to require more than a great soldier. It’s going to require a wise leader” <...> “We cannot keep treading water without exhausting ourselves and more importantly doing great damage to our other vital interests around the world and at home. And that’s exactly what President Bush and a President McCain would be asking us to do.”


Apparently there has been no harsher critic of McCain’s lack of judgment than Joe Biden. McCain can hardly praise Biden’s insight with regard to Obama yet dismiss it with regard to himself. Therefore, McCain must agree that his own world view is myopic, unwise, and damaging to our country’s interests.

4. Maybe Obama can do an ad on why JSM III won't pick Romney.
Or someone else can.

Why won't John Sidney McCain III pick Mitt Romney for VP?

Could it be Romney's $200 million net worth? Add that to McCain's ten houses, his $40 million net worth plus his wife's $100 million, that would show the Republicans to be the Party of the Super-Rich.

Or could it be Romney's comments about McCain?

and run clips of them.
