If Biden's alleged 'gaffe' stays heavily in the news, should they get Colin Powell out on the trail?

[Franks Wild Years]

I think so. I think he'd be open to doing some appearances for Obama - He said that he had no plans to, but I got the impression that he could be convinced if his presence was requested. He could instantly negate any doubts Biden has sewn with regards to Obama and his ability to cope in the midsts of a foreign affairs crisis.

And Powell's previous misdemeanors are irrelevant at this point. Obama accepted his endorsement, the wider public love him and under the circumstances, if Biden's ill-advised remark needs to be extinguished, with Obama off the trail later this week he's the perfect man to do so.

3. What is "the Biden thing"? I'm having trouble tracking it back to its orgin?

I missed it. Please explain.

[Franks Wild Years]

6. His comments regarding Obama being "tested" and "needing help"...

..within the first six months of his presidency. McLoser's campaign have pounced on it.

4. They should get Powell on the trail regardless

5. phooey. . Let them run with it... WhatWouldPresMcCainDo?

WWPresPALINDo?. . THAT'LL scare the shit out of everybody! Can you imagine either of them faced with the Cuban Missle Crisis?

[Franks Wild Years]

8. I'll respond to that with my new stock answer...

..WHAT IS IT EXACTLY THAT THE VEEEE PEEEE DOES?!!

[Minimus]

7. This is the only place I hear mention the Biden thing -

albeit, I do not stayed glued to cable news channels.

[Meshuga]

11. The cable news watchers freak the most

I don't watch it either so I don't hear this anywhere.

[GobamaX]

9. It's not even a 'gaffe'

Even the media knows it - that's why they hardly reported on it yesterday.

[Franks Wild Years]

10. I think it can be interpreted as one though...

...which is why I think, in this reactionary climate, it was an ill-advised comment. I certainly agree that taken in a normal world it wouldn't be anything noteworthy, but right now I should imagine Joe Biden wishes he hadn't said that.

12. EPIC FAIL POST

yeah, it sure is "heavily in the news"

You guys crack me up.

13. Get Joey Scar's Birth Father Out there, instead!

FRANK BURNS ! No mistaking that Burns nose & Eyes, Joe.

16. Good god, you are right. I never made that connection!

Joe "Ferret Face" Scarboy! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[sampsonblk]

14. This "gaffe" is a non-issue

Barely even a mention in the news. I only learned about it here.

[sohndrsmith]

17. I agree it's more of a non-issue than not, but they are latching onto it like

leeches this morning. And laughing condescendingly at their "gotcha" to the winning ticket (or so they think.

I would love it if Powell came out and doused this little gleeful little party... well they've got Madeleine Albright (sp?) but they're treating the whole thing very sarcastically on msnbc (Morning Joe). I have no idea why these folks are considered useful, personally (Mika and Joe, specifically).

[No Elephants]

15. Powell will not campaign. His wife did not want him to run for President for that reason--she did

not want the possiblity that he would be killed on the campaign trail. She is not going to take that risk on behalf of anyone else.

[Political Tiger]

18. It won't, don't worry!

Be happy! Seriously, I don't think this "story" will last beyond today, except maybe on Fix Noise. And if it does, it could hurt McShame more than anybody else. After all, I think a growing number of people see McFossil as unstable and erratic, and then there's Sarah "Putin rears his head" Palin.....
