Even Joe Biden thinks Obama's ad claiming McCain doesn't know how to send e-mails is a stupid idea. "I thought that was terrible."

Not incorrect or misleading, just ineffective. As for the "war wounds" dodge, Stephen Hawking uses a computer just fine. And, of course, Biden decided the ads weren't so bad after all: “Having now reviewed the ad, it is even more clear to me that given the disgraceful tenor of Sen McCain’s ads and their persistent falsehoods, his campaign is in no position to criticize,” he said, “especially when they continue to distort Barack’s votes on an issue as personal as keeping kids safe from sexual predators.” posted by

Democrats should not have taken the mud-slinging bait. The economy is McCain's weakest issue in a debate. Bill Clinton appeared on Letterman. He said about 2/3 of Americans are feeling the crisis; this is not a good time to be a republican. McCain campaign wants to derail the economy issue with name-calling. Lately, he has sort of focused on the economy by saying it is brought on by Obama and his "lobbyist friends." McCain's solution is to "clean up Wall Street and fix Washington" (or something). It doesn't say anything. Who's to know if the candidate's endorsement of an ad is simply an appended recording? The best, most effective political ads I've seen are T. Boone's ads for his energy agenda. He can't explain the energy crisis in a 30 second ad, so he does it in increments. Each ad presents facts and figures, not name-calling and mudslinging. The accuracy or sources of his facts may be debated, but he is presenting his case in factual terms a viewer can understand. If the ad does not get T. Boone a following (it has), it gets attention (it has done that, too). posted by

This from Fox News: Obama Chides Biden for InterviewDemocratic presidential nominee criticizes running mate for voicing opposition to bailout of AIG I know there is an Internet rumor that Biden is going to drop out and Hillary is going to step in. I thought it was BS, but now, who knows! posted by

The reality is though, that if you're the one doing all the talking, yours are the only words you'll hear. Differening opinions aren't necessarily a bad thing. posted by

RF..Biden did NOT change his mind. He was merely relating his opinion of the Republican campaign and that it shouldn't cry about things. He still thought the spot was in bad taste. I know you read the whole story, you could at least relate the whole thing! posted by

Advising the Republicans to "get over it" seems a very handy thing to do this year. If he wasn't changing his mind why did he specifically state that it was *AFTER* he'd seen it, and his earlier statement was *BEFORE* he'd seen it? posted by
