WYTHEVILLE, Va. --

Vice President Joe Biden, speaking in Wytheville, Va., this hour, created a stir earlier in the day at a campaign speech in Danville.

Biden told the crowd, many of them African Americans, that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s policies would enable the banking and financial sectors to “put you all back in chains.”

The remark came roughly two-thirds of the way through the 30-minute speech.

"Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unchain Wall Street,” Biden said. “They’re going to put you all back in chains.”

The vice president also appeared to be confused about his whereabouts, referring to winning in North Carolina.

For a full story on his visit in Wytheville, read Wednesday's Bristol Herald Courier.

The only way plugs will fade away is because of a health problem. Who will replace him?

Any speculation as to who?

I’m thinking John McCain...oh, wait...maybe Julian Castro.

Oh, I hope not. People like Joe Plugs and Dopey Debbie are defining the face of the Democrat Party and giving results money couldn't buy.

I see Moochelle had to get into the act as well when she lectured Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics, Gabby Douglas, on her diet. What a pompous horse's rear end she is!!!

I still expect that it will be a Ryan vs. Hillary . . . rich white man against the mild and meek (/sarc) former first lady . . .

No doubt Hillary is in the wings. I think it is a strong possibility that Obama will pick her out of desperation.

I hope Biden stays too. The pool of arrogant replacements is unending in the Dem party.

Biden is gold for Romney video clips.

All Romney or a Romney PAC needs to do is play that tape and ask the viewers why would they let this crazy person remain in office.

I believe this is the first time I’ve ever heard of a candidate for national office or even a Vice President speaking in or visiting Wytheville. I’m SURE he stopped by and got a hotdog at Skeeter’s on Main St(it’s a right of passage for visiting politicians - they DO have awesome hotdogs, BTW).

Senate candidates usually find the time to go through there, but never from an office that high. Guess they see VA as a total must win(I’m saddened/SHAMED that it’s even close). Especially given how the dem presidential candidates normally lose all of the counties in our area by 25-40 points. This is what you call big time trolling for votes. This is equivalent to Paul Ryan visiting the inner city areas of Richmond. If we hear of 0bama visiting Carroll or Grayson Counties, we truly have entered the campaign bizzaro world!! I’m sure Roanoke will be as close as 0bama gets to those places!

Did I hear correctly that the UMW is endorsing neither candidate for POTUS?

The entire Leftist media and entertainment proclaimed to the general public that Sarah Palin was unqualified to be VP; that she was somehow “dangerous” and “incompetent”.

Joe Biden as VP: proof Satan exists and that he rewards his followers.

Speaking of Dopey Debbie. I have finally figured out who she really is.

Here she is on Face the Nation

And here she is as the Face of Boe.

I don’t think it was a gaffe. I think it was intentional, calculated.
