Joe's youthful indiscretion?

Evelyn from Ohio — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:57:50 GMT

Joe comes from my era. That was the way it was at my dorm too. If a man came in after a certain time he would be detained and escorted to campus security. I was usually treated as "no harm, no foul" but they didn't dare try it again for fear of being suspended. I think this is another story showing the main street human that Joe is.

Come on. You're joking: "a stunning disclosure that could change the dynamics of the race" Have you folks been to college? Typical fare and a right of passage in my mind. Surely you jest! If not, surely you're absolutely desparate for any sort of game changing news in this election!

The media tried to find anything Joe says and turn it into another example of the "gaffe machine".

What the media might not realize is that outside the beltway, when Joe says these sorts of things, we don't think it makes him an idiot, we think it makes him human. That is something that nearly everybody can relate to in a time when politicians sure don't seem human.

Biden's "youthful indiscretions" vs. Palin's adult indiscretions. Yeeeeah. I'd pick getting arrested for going into a girl's dorm 40 something yrs ago over someone who abused their gubernatorial powers, a year ago.

God Love Him! Confession is good for the soul, Joe. So you were a young rascal, were you? You give "bad boys" a good name!

Let's face it, McSame knows nothing about the middle class. The son/grandson of Admirals, married to the beer baroness, and living off the fat of the land! Just like he knows nothing about the economy! Can't talk about something that you know NOTHING about.

And this is why Joe Bidden is going to be an awesome vice pres. He's the true Joe Six-pack in this VP race.

Joe, why are you scared to say that in public? When Sarah Palin the "Power Abuser" she is can stand on the stage in Dover, NH and say John McCain is going stop those that abuse their power. Isn't that her? The pitbull with lipstick must be stopped.

Beverly in Chicago — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:09:11 GMT

Joe, at least it was a female dorm.

Say it again Joe, sounds so good l'll say it again---"it’s not that McCain doesn’t “get it,” but that he doesn’t understand what’s really going on for middle class families".
I'll also add...
McCain is a loser and doesn't have a clue about overwhelming effects that impact not only our domestic economy, but the global market as well. US (we Americans) are worried about their financial future and are looking for answers.

US (we Americans) need action; McCain is a wee bit slow physically and mentally. The McCain/Palin ticket's slowness is due to their slavish obedience to Bush/Cheney!!!

McCain = more of the same.
Nobody but Obama/Biden

<<"...he doesn't understand what's really going on for middle class families.>>

McCain doesn't understand how the light goes on in his refrigerator every time he opens the door, let alone something as crucial as middle-class families.

It would be a hard task to not like Joe Biden. Obama's decision to pick him is indicative of his intelligence. On the other side.....vat in hell vas dat ole man tinkin?! I tink maybe he's alvays had a bat in the belfry and a bee in his britches.

How can one not love Senator Biden? (That's a rhetorical question, of course.) Senator Obama did good when he chose him as his running mate. They are a winning ticket in more ways than one.

Dutch — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:19:39 GMT

The republicans will do anything to get elected, so it's a smart move for Joe to put it out there before the republican party tries to distract the voters with more non-sense. Obama and Biden are letting the air out of the republicans' balloons, on November 4th they won't have any to drop when they give their concession speech. Andrea should be happy about that.

CA Voter NOT For McCain/Palin — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:23:19 GMT

A lot is made of Biden making verbal slips, but I will take those slips compared to the verbal venom that Palin spews! Why are people turning to Obama/Biden? Because they talk about issues that are important instead of the trash talk that comes from the McCain/Palin team. This Country needs a REAL CHANGE!

Pius Nebo, Clifton, New Jersey — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:24:16 GMT

At least, Joe said the truth even when not asked. Unlike PIGPALIN, whom despite been indicted still deny's ever doing anything wrong in the troopergate case.That to me, goes to say alot yes alot about these two camps.

TheNest, VA — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:24:59 GMT

Obama needs to speak to the American people with extreme clarity, force of will, reason, seriousness, and sincerity tonight. Too many people are and have been suffering from corporate and government misdeeds. Tolerance for any less is about zero -- as McCain is finding out.

I think media could hype this confession and GOP could twist it, but in reality majority of the american have worst crimes in their live than walking into a dorms (sorority). Just appreciate the fact he is one of those common and straight forward person. Do not make a deal of nothing.

Slow day huh?

Where the story on the McCain transition head being a former lobbyist for Saddam Hussein?

Todd Palin's secessionist ties with a group that sought support from Iran and Sarah's witch-hunting Pastor who prayed for her?

McCain's Terror organization ties (He was sat on the board of directors for years)?

So because McCain's been around longer you give him and Sarah a pass??

You guys are unbelievable!!

yeah, maybe mccain didnt mention middle-class, but he said main street quite a few times. so maybe, literally, he didn't, but come on.

cute Biden. very cute. Now there's a down to earth guy. It's so unnecessary to invoke uneducated lingo and annoying facial expressions just to prove you are "down to earth." That's what Palin does, and it's not working.

katiec Pekin, IL — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:30:02 GMT

Joe is right. If the republicans get back in office,
goodbye to middle class.
They have already almost bankrupted us, vitimizing
us taxpayers with the criminal management of
government these last eight years.
And, even after all these diasters, Mccain wants
to take away capital gains taxes, which at this
time, can only apply to very rich. We common folks
have no capital gains, or gains of any kind left.
Only losses.
Barack Obama is our only chance for survival.

You're Serious? — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:32:01 GMT

You can't seriously be that dense to think this could impact the race? I know that Chuck's been desperately avoiding telling the truth: that polling shows Obama comfortably above the 270 electoral vote mark at this point. But if you're serious that this joke is a game-changer, then maybe you need to re-evaluate your line of work.

Typical, its Joe Biden so its a youthful indiscretion, if that was Sarah Palin, it would be StudentGate, and democratic corresponden..oh i mean "journalist" Keith Olbermann would again be declaring how unfit she is to be Vice President. Just like if Palin didnt know who was the president during the Depression, or which part of the constitution outlines the duty of the VP, it would have made news, but all those idiotic statements were Biden's thus, no coverage. But i post on this site all the time, and never get through, because im not a liberal.

You got to love him for being the way he is. At least he has the best interest of the country in mind. He'll make a superb VP. Good choice Barrack.
