He’s the liberal Bob Dole, the looser Mitt Romney, the supposedly safe bet who’s owed a shot.
It didn’t come to me right away, but finally I recognized the model for Joe Biden’s unusual campaign, the former president whose pitch Biden’s most closely resembles:
George W. Bush.
I’m referring to Bush’s first presidential bid, in 2000, which is remembered mostly for its surreal climax: the seesawing returns on election night, the Florida recount, the Supreme Court ruling that effectively decided the contest in his favor. To the limited extent that political junkies recall his slogans and stump speeches, the phrase “compassionate conservative” comes quickest to mind.

BS!! About as much as Jimmy Karter is. If he were, he’d be a RINO 80 times over.

Biden wants to trick everyone into believing he’s a moderate, and for now conservative commentators are playing along. If he’s the nominee, I think that’s a mistake by our side.

Lets see... Biden as (so far) survived serial molestation of young women & girls on camera, selling influence to Chinese investors. and being called ‘racist’ for past positions on busing and criminal punishment. Now the Leftist-Democrats trot out their “big gun” by describing Biden as *gasp* a Republican. Well that should do it, Game-over!

I saw that. But was it really incorrect?
Mitt is indeed loose. As in not wound up tight. Has a loose grip on reality.
Joe is even looser.
