The most telling comment coming out of the Biden as VP news cycle comes from John McCain.
Biden's "kitchen table" comment regarding McCain's inability to remember how many houses he has and how out of touch he is with the reality of life in the "middle class" (or what is left of it) touched a key failure of McCain's.
When asked by Katie Couric of CBS about the comment McCain's response, as incredible as it may seem was Noun--Verb--POW--my wife is rich.
HOW SAD that over 40% of likely voters believe this mean-spirited, free-loading, feeble old man is worthy of leading our country.
And, just a post-script...
When polling "likely voters" the pollsters pull from lists of registered voters who have voted in the past two elections. NOWHERE are the pollsters including the millions of newly registered Democrats brought into the process by Senator Obama.
In my state (NC) alone the R's have registered 69,000 to the D's 270,000 since January--that's about a 4:1 advantage.
