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."

Hah, I was thinking of "Animal Farm" just the other day, and was going to bust out my copy of "1984" to re-read it, just in case the elections go bad.
I think as long as they know who they are voting for.
Obama is just now being exposed.
Historically liberal northern senators have a very poor track record trying to win the white house, for democrats southern governors have been the key, southern governors that appear to run as moderates.
Governors are always favored for the white house. Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Bush 43. Governors all.
So we have an uber liberal/socialist junior senator from the north with radical ties, against a moderate experienced senator war hero from the west with a Governor on the ticket. If history is any teacher, Americans will elect McCain.
Exactly the way I feel about the gun control/gun ban rhetoric these two have been spewing their entire political careers. Biden was a gun ban "poster boy" for the Brady Bunch while Obama was still a toddler.
Demrat arguments do not have to be logical, linear or even parallel. Heck, they do not even have to have some basis in truth. Pelosi saying it is 100% sure the Marxist Onada will win; and Biden saying Americans are having a hard time electing an African-American make perfect sense—to a demrat.
We’ll be seeing a lot of these nonsensical explanations from the dems over the next couple of weeks. Ohio is first of swing states to poll for McCain. Indies and blue collar folks are finally deciding who they want for president—IMO.
Looks like NYT is coming out with a hit piece on McCain’s health. But who reads the NYTs? Moreover, compared with the stuff McCain can stick to the Marist Onada it is small potatos. Moreover, the Messiah has never disclosed his health records. What is he hiding? In other words the NYTs piece is easily dealt with.
Meanwhile, McCain has Joe the Plumber and Diane Fanning, real middle class people, taking on the Marxist Onada in his behalf. And it is being recorded and replayed.
Amazing how this presidential campaign’s dynamic has shifted. McCain is talking about real issues and the directon of the country and The Messiah is talking about McCain’s health.
The powell thing really bugs me though...I guess I was convinced that he was a 'good soldier' and actually took sec/state as a mission behind enemy lines...
the mindset of 'black' peoples still amazes me, angry at the crackers that freed em, rather than at the african royalties that sold [and still do SELL them] their ancestors to the highest bidder, in a world where it was [and still is around the world] just a 'big labor' decision...
2 more weeks and we can rest for a few months till the next campaigns start for 2010...
Powell has always been a closet racist and general asshole. Squantos was most likely “close enough” to confirm. That was the word though in sections where I got first and second hand stories from those around him.
“I’d gladly vote ... for Mike Steele.”
Ditto here.
Maybe Powell just wanted to impress Harry Belafonte...
“BAAAAA-MO!!!! BAA-AAA-AAA-AAA-MO!!! COMMIE COME, AND ME WAN’GO HOME!!!!SING WID ME NOW, MON!!!”
{HALE!!!! DAMNIT!!! YOU RACIST!!!}
yeah...just another day on the farm...every meal a banquet...every paycheck a fortune...’specially when someone else is paying...
“General Assh*le”...I LIKE that!!!
HA!

just damn, the bennies of being in the services really do appear in lotsa ways...
I really liked him just before the sec state gig too...
just damn...
Yea, but this week they play OSU!!!! Go BUCKS!!!!
I bet the Military was soooooo happy to see Colon Bowel retire. One less know-nothing perfumed prince.
Ha, ha... ;-) I didn’t think about it until I saw your post! :-)
How this insult doesn't make undecideds all flock to McCain is beyond me. And here they are again, saying this stuff out in San Francisco, the same venue as the "clinging to their guns and religion" spouting. If they believe this stuff, why don't they have the guts to say it in the rest of the nation, to the faces of all these folks, instead of condescendingly in SF?
Sorry buddy! I didn’t mean to ruin it for you! ;-)
This is an article about Biden. Why is the author Matthew Jaffe and not Matthew Gaffe?
Carol Mosley Braun as well.
“Carol Mosley Braun as well. “
Carol Moseley Braun was one of the FIRST ACORN supported nomineee from Chicago. Yeah, she turned out great...numerous allegations of wrongdoing....she was a joke.
Nice try, old Man Libtard Biden. ***Now don’t you need to take your meds now? You are so out of touch with real Americans it’s hard to listen to you without cringing. Time for you to retire. REAL Americans do not care what you and your race baiting bottom-feeder libtards think. Dial in - Get a clue. We silent majority Americans are laughing at you! ****GO Mccain/Palin 2008*****
