Thoughts on Biden

Joe Biden is articulate and clean.

When listing Biden's qualifications, don't forget that he is beloved by the media. Sadly, that matters.

The McCain campaign launched an ad this morning against Biden, shortly before John McCain called Biden to congratulate him.

The McCain campaign had several negative ads "in the can" waiting for the announcement. One against Bayh, and presumably Kaine, too.

Biden was told Thursday.

  • Biden is also a darling of the media and punditry. We're unlikely to see a lot of the "are you attacking John McCain's service?"-type of stuff aimed at Biden.

    McCain is already wearing out the "POW card". It won't stand continuous use up to the election.

    Personally, I like to see Biden brought back to the Obama camp after being unfairly thrown under the bus for his "clean" remark.

  • He's popular with them for the exact reason McCain was before he started shutting the media out.

    He went on the shows and played their games, always good for a quote, always willing to give them a little unsourced something.

    They love him because he plays with them. Like McCain used to.
