Biden: McCain is dead wrong
CNN

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (CNN) – After two days off the trail, Joe Biden ventured back out on Sunday afternoon, driving home the “Republicans just don't get it” label the Obama campaign is trying to saddle John McCain and Sarah Palin with to portray them as out of touch.

“What I want to tell you is this: John was [in 2000] and is now and has been dead wrong,” Biden said in a high school gym in Charlotte. “Dead wrong about what we should do as a nation. It doesn’t mean we can’t be friends, he’s just dead wrong. John just doesn’t get it.”

As Obama has in the last few days, Biden brought up McCain’s comments at a forum on service in New York last week when the Arizona senator said in Washington it’s easy to be “divorced” from everyday challenges.

“Yo!” Biden exclaimed, “I couldn’t have put it better myself. The McCain ticket seems divorced from the economic realities facing average American families.”

Biden zeroed in on John McCain for most of his speech but drew loud boos from the crowd at the single mention of Palin’s name when saying that the Republican ticket doesn’t feel obliged to re-train workers whose jobs have been shipped overseas.

The Delaware senator’s standard jabs at McCain on health care, energy, and the economy were all there but perhaps looking to stem a potential tide of women crossing over to vote for the ticket with a woman on it, Biden added a hit on McCain for not supporting a study to look at the pay gap between men and women.

He also went beyond simply promoting his campaign's proposals for the middle class, highlighting the "chemistry" on the Democratic ticket. Not just between himself and Obama, but between the Obama daughters and Biden's granddaugthers who – as Biden tells it – had a sleepover during the convention and became fast friends.

"I believe that's a metaphor, a metaphor for what the country is looking for," said Biden. "They're looking for a sleepover with people they like."

Monday Biden will deliver an economic speech in Michigan that an advisor is calling the “Bush 44 speech”, looking to further tie McCain’s economic policies to President Bush’s and accuse McCain of running a “dishonorable and deceptive” campaign.

From what I'm hearing, the Dems plan to start slamming McCain publicly on the lies and deception at every turn while attacking McCain only on the issues and ignoring Palin all together. This just might turn things around for the Dems.

All right, time for the dems to go as negative as they can muster! Watch as McCain positions himself taking highroad again.

Calling McCain out on the lies is the high road silly. The dems don't have to lie. McCain has given them all the fodder they need. HAHA

I'd like to quote a great man

"Bring it on"

Your guy all ready brought it on. We are just going to show everyone the facts about what he has brought on and let them decide if he is truthful or not. Without the distraction of Palin, McCain is a sitting duck. He'll have to discuss the issues or pour on more lies - either way, he won't be in good shape.

Just remember, the angrier the dems get the worse they do in the polls. Obama's best bet is to stay positive. Nothing he can say negative about McCain can't be said much worse about Obama.

15 minutes of the 22 minute Biden speech was spent discussing the health care plan ... to make the same plan congress enjoys available to all citizens
mKKKain's health plan is dead wrong. more of the same only less

significantly, the subsequent fund raiser was hosted by Crandall Springs Bowles ... wife of the former clinton chief of staff, Erskine Bowles. hopefully this will signal greater clinton involvement in the campaign going forward

There is no way McCain will be able to take the high road again, at least in this campaign.

Unless he comes out and says he was wrong in some of his ads and in allowing such a negative convention to take place...that he'd been misleading, and that he's sorry. He can say that the American people deserve better and that form now on, they will get better.

That would allow him the luxury of the high road now, but I don't see that happening. If he did that, he'd be admitting he'd lied, and hell would most certainly freeze over.

"Let me start off by saying that in 2000 I said, 'Vote for me. I'm an agent of change.' In 2004, I said, 'I'm not interested in change --I want to continue as president.' Every candidate has got to say 'change.' That's what the American people expect." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., March 5, 2008

We're at a turning point. With every day since the RNC having increasingly negative press toward McCain and his broken VP and even Rove coming out against him, he is soon to be forced to change his campaign theme yet again.

The best course for the Obama campaign at this point is to return to the "teflon days" of before. Practically ignore the McCain attacks and smears and focus on message and issues only. Maybe the occasional sarcastic and humorous derision of McCain wallowing in negativity to evade discussing issues. Obama can and should do this because the press has proven to be adequate in routing out McCain and Palin's unbelivable trail of BS.
