Biden's demotion for Palin?

From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli
Campaigning in Virginia today, Biden accidentally demoted Palin from governor to lieutenant governor.

"And the other thing I heard, I heard a very -- by the way, I mean this sincerely -- a very strong and a very good political speech from a lieutenant governor of Alaska, who I think is going to be very formidable, very formidable... But I was equally impressed by what I didn’t hear, what I didn’t hear in the speech."

All I heard from Palin was: wa wa waa 'hockey mom' womp wa wa 'MY family' bal bla blah 'diss Obama and the millions that voted for him'

Just another republican that parrots the GOP talking points.

It's said these 4 are the best this country could come up with.

Even when he makes a mistake, Joe tells the truth.

When I heard her speech and she said she was like a bear with lipstick, I closed my eyes and saw John McCain with lipstick. After all it's all the same ridiculous nonsense that McBush – I mean McCain puts out week after week.

So in the process of paying her a compliment Biden got the title wrong...just the sort of thing for Republicans to get themselves in a lather over.

Sen. Biden merely made a speech error. All humans do this at some point (Including the reporters and my fellow bloggers). Please dwell on more significant things.

Gov. Palin's attacks on Sen. Obama lives up to the old adage that 'If you have no substance, no plans,no ideas of your own, and you are about nothing; merely attack,demean, and belittle your more worthy opponent'. This will take the harsh spotlight of reality off of you and cause others to doubt your opponent. The American people are intelligent enough to know that 'an empty wagon makes a lot of racket'.

Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin, instead of telling me what's wrong with Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden, tell me what's right about Sen. McCain and yourself. Convince me to vote for you because you are the best thing for America. Gov. Palin and former mayor Guilani's speeches late night was classless, mean-spirited, and down-right ugly. Please show us Americans that the Republican Party can conduct themselves like ladies and gentlemen in this contest. We Americans expect and will accept no less.

I don't think it was a mistake by Biden. Just like Obama claims he has more experience running the campaign (um, I believe he has campaign managers for that too) than her being a mayor, totally bypassing the fact that she is a sitting GOVERNOR of a state. I think Obama and Biden both don't want to admit that she is a female governor and finally has some competition on the GOP side. But I'll bet my pretty penny, that Palin would know how many states there are in the U.S.
