Joe Biden’s Words Used as Ammo in McCain Ad

A television spot released by the John McCain campaign soon after Barack Obama announced his selection of Joe Biden as his running mate contains an interesting exchange between ABC’s George Stephanopoulus and Biden:

Stephanopoulus: “You were asked if he’s ready. You said, ‘I think (Obama) can be ready, but right now, I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”

Biden: “I stand by that statement.”

The exchange was followed by a clip showing Biden, a 36-year veteran of Capitol Hill from Deleware, talking about McCain:

“I would be honored to run with or against John McCain. I think the country would be better off.”

Now, we can expect to see Biden attempt to extricate himself from those statements.

flagged this story as Good Stuff

BMCWrites, I like this story. It's good stuff. The best tool in PR is to use the VP or candidates own words he/she said about his running mate. Works like a charm and there is no counter strikes until the GOP picks their VP. I am more inclined to Romney now that the cards are on the table. Romney will give the DEM ticket a net loss on economy, Business, and exec experience.

The VP debates will be better then the Pres Debate if that is the case.
