CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that Republican rival John McCain is "getting a little loose" at a time when the nation needs a steady hand.

Campaigning in NASCAR country, Biden employed car racing terminology for bumping to describe the contentious final days of the campaign. He told supporters in Charlotte that he's worried about how the Republicans have been acting as the two campaigns have been "trading a little paint" recently.

"What worries me most is the McCain campaign seems to have gotten a little loose," Biden said. "John's getting a little loose. He doesn't have much of a steady hand these days. Now's the time we most need a steady hand."

The Delaware senator told the crowd the nation needs to unite to address the challenges ahead. He called Republican robo calls "scurrilous" and said ads portraying Obama as an extremist divide voters based on geography, religion and background.

2. Joe's absolutely right....

....johnny's been awful angry, hostel and mean-spirited lately....and I don't understand why....

....gramps almost never tells us what he's going to do about solving our problems, instead, he characterizes and lies about Obamas straight-forward and meaningful solutions to our pressing problems....

....I'm very disappointed in gramps....being an old person, I know how hard it can be at times to stay focused and cordial when you think everyone is against you....

7. And When You Win What Do You See On That Flag

Black and White together, that is right. Second in s race is just the first loser.
We are on the last lap now it is checkers or wreckers. It will not be a happy scene in Alaska and Arizona on the 5th.

10. Hey now! This Arizonan is most definitely going to be in a happy scene!

Yeah, our state will probably go "red", but we'd be in play for sure if it weren't for McCain being our senator....

11. NASCAR country? Would that be in "real America"? Good for Joe the Veep! nt

12. watching hardball last night

a thought from Rad the Fringe...

they were talking about how mccain needs to turn his campaign around and focus...

9-10 days left in campaign and mccain still doesn't have a coherant message? any "re-focus" or "hail mary pass" is going to send the desperation meter off the scale.
