    Truth = Gaffe ?

    "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am."

    This is very true. Isn't the whole idea is to pick from a whole GROUP of qualified people? I mean....did somebody think Biden was the only guy capable? I don't think ANYONE could argue that Sen Biden or Sen Clinton are INCAPABLE of the job. And I think it's kind, respectful and honest of him to not act like an arrogant ignoramus and say otherwise. More of the weird non-news.
