Biden: Voters "having a difficult time" electing first African American president
abcnews.com ^ | 10/19/08 | Matthew Jaffe

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: As Election Day looms just over two weeks away, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said Saturday that with Republicans firing "vicious" and "dangerous" attacks at Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., voters are "having a difficult time" opting for the man who would become the nation's first African American president.

"Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America," the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said at a San Francisco fundraiser Saturday evening. "So we need to respond. We need to respond at the moment, immediately, not wait, not hang around, not assume any of this won't stick."

"You see these vicious attacks on Barack's character," Biden told supporters. "I mean, this is dangerous stuff these guys are doing. This stuff is on the edge. It's on the edge. You know, there's some folks out there in the community nationwide that aren't as stable as others. It's a very small minority. But having these rallies where people are showing up saying, you know, the things they're saying - I don't even want to repeat them -- it's not a healthy thing."

The way I see it, the more they play the race card, the more they piss-off the non-racists (which are by far and away the majority). Hopefully, they will keep it up.

Just thought of something horrible. Suppose Obama gets in and pardons, en masse, every black muslim in the prison system now.

I wouldn't put him past it either. Scary!

No, Mr. Biden, we're having a hard time electing the first president who would like to execute 25,000 million Americans. Were it not for their cavalier attitude toward the unborn, I would consider that hyperbole. However, given that, the history of leftist hellholes in the Twentieth Century, and the overall tenor of anger ("Yes We Can take what is yours, and silence you") - it is not at all implausible.

Here’s where I think the undecideds come from — it is Democrats who have NEVER voted Republican in their lives, but who cannot stomach voting for Obama. They have decided NOT to vote for him, but it is a Sea Change for them to vote Republican. It will challenge the very core of their beings....

It took me an hour to mark for George Bush in 2000 for this reason, and I walked out of the polling place shaken. Pathetic, huh? Now I am an onfire conservative, working the McCain booths. But I had gone to UC Berkeley, etc., and it just did not come easy.

That’s my take on the large number of undecideds.

3. Attacking Sarah Palin’s kids, her husband, her Downs’ baby, her DAUGHTER — is fair ‘because Americans need to know.’

4. Attacking Cindy McCain for things that happened 3 decades ago is fair, ‘because Americans need to know.’

5. But Michelle O is off limits, because that is MEAN.

Some animals are more equal than others.

I don't give a flyin' fig what color, religion, party, or gender a candidate running for POTUS is... AS LONG AS that person meets the sniff test. My sniff test, not anybody else's. And this Barry guy, does NOT smell good at all. In fact, he stinks to high heaven.

Biden now psychoanalyzing voters??? Real voters, not the stuffed-ballot box kind. I think we "real voters" are beyond that condescending remark. In fact,it just shows how out of touch Biden and his elite-irk are with "real voters."

It's the inexperience and the associations... STUPID.

Like I said before, a negative campaign is only possible if the truth is negative.

This strategy will just completely backfire...completely. Dems will stay home more, good for us, and Independents that aren’t in favor with Obama by now are not going to by teling them it’s because he’s black......

It's not the color of his skin. It's the color of his politics. This is who he reminds me of





Like I said, color of politics, not skin.

“Hillary may be polarizing but at least she loves America.”

Let’s not go crazy here. I wouldn’t say she loves America. Maybe tolerates it, but doesn’t really love it.

What? I thought BO was so far ahead in the polls that this election was already over, isn’t that what the drive-bys in the media are shoving down our throats 24/7?

No Joe. They have a problem electing liberals and socialists!

Ha, I think you mean we have a problem electing liberals and socialists. I'm concerned that the "they" out there really do want to elect liberals and socialists.

It's like when the Bolsheviks came in and deposed the Czars in Russia; I bet the average Joeski the Plumberski said "Hoo boy, Svetlana, this is going to be great! No more Czars! Things will be so much better now!"
