Biden: McCain-Palin all talk
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/09/1367790.aspx


COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Biden said that he's glad McCain "finally realized the idea that this election is about change," but said that while the message is new, his plans for the country don't back it up.

“John must have been the last guy in American politics to know this is about change,” he said. “The only problem is that all John’s changing is the rhetoric. And all he’d change as president of the United States in my view is the name at the top of Bush’s policies. That’s the only change that you’re going to see, and all that would do is keep America shortchanged.”

The Delaware senator argued Republicans don’t understand the anxiety most Americans feel about the economy, and certainly have not explained how they’d ease it.

“I’ve never seen so many Americans get knocked down with so little help, so little recognition from their government, from this administration,” he said. “And apparently there’s not going to be a whole lot more recognition of their plight and concern on the part, based on what’s said so far, from the Republican ticket. Ladies and gentlemen, he and Sarah Palin have said nothing about how they’re going to bring about change.”

1. But it's the kind of talk that the voters understand & listen to: Motherhood & Guns.

This isn't going to be won on the basis of a sober debate on the issues, they aren't going to even engage that discussion.
