So I'll admit that I was on the "Friends of Obama" email list that announced his selection of Biden before ANYONE ELSE IN THE MEDIA (do you really think for a minute that I believe that?) knew about it.
And now McCain is jumping all over this with his sophomoric (I'm John McCain and I'm running for Student Council) web ad that shows Biden (recorded during a primary debate) telling the George Stephanopoulus that Obama is not qualified to be President. Doesn't McCain know that candidates say things like this when they, themselves, are running for President against the other guy? After he picks Romney won't it be fun to watch reruns of all the digs they took at each other during the Republican primaries? Does McCain, as feeble-minded as he is, really think that Americans will say, "See? Even Joe Biden, Obama's VP choice, doesn't think he is qualified to be President?" Either McCain is the dumbest guy in the room or he just sits back in his recliner and says yes to whatever his handlers say will make the stupidest of American voters rise up and back him - which accounts, by the way, for a fairly significant portion of American voters. Say what you want, but after two terms of Bush can we all finally admit that American voters are not the sharpest knives in the drawer?
But my point, if there is one, is this: This is politics as usual. And I am SO sick of it I could puke on my keyboard. Look, if Obama had picked Hillary, the McCain campaign would have run an ad saying that Obama is weak and wimpy and knew he couldn't win without her. They would have made some Freudian assertion that he was searching for the love and affection of his mother or something. It's all spin, it's all about power, it's just politics.
