DENVER - Is Mitt Romney ready for Joe Biden?

The implicit suggestion is that John McCain will send the former governor of Massachusetts into that running mate's debate with the senator from Delaware.

"You know, Joe Biden is an impenetrable thicket of words,'' Romney replied, in an interview on CNN's The Situation Room. "I can't imagine anybody is ready to debate Joe Biden.''

This apparently is Romney's own line attack. He told the same thing to Neil Cavuto on the FOX Business Network: "Senator Biden seems to be an impenetrable thicket of words, so I can't imagine having to go up against him. I think that almost anybody that goes up against him would find themselves outspoken.''

...

CNN replayed Romney's comments calling McCain "out of the mainstream, at least in my view, of conservative Republican thoughts.... He is a co-author of McCain/Feingold (on campaign finance reform), he also was one of the co-authors of McCain/Kennedy (on immigration reform). I would also note that if you get endorsed by the "New York Times," you're probably not a conservative. ''

"Well, I think that the McCain campaign would be happy if they played that ad with my comments, because it just points out something that, well, I think everybody in America knows, and that is that John McCain is his own man, that he's not a carbon copy of any other Republican, including President Bush,'' Romney said in response to the clips. "And this whole line of attack that he's a continuation of Bush just isn't going to fly.''

Too many kitchen tables.

6. Joe's going to chew 'em up and spit 'em out...

Cannot wait to see him rip these assholes to shreds.

[Sugarcoated]

7. He's a legend in his own mind

Romney, flip-flopping pandering phoney - Biden, integrity, authentic, wisdom. And in a debate Biden would beat him senseless. I hope it's Romney

8. Mittens is an asshat

Without seeing it I can just picture him with his perfectly styled, slicked hair and his Armani suit, mocking Biden for being verbose.

Best bet for ol' Mitt is to hinge his hopes on 2012. McCain is goin' down and I don't think this is the year for the Wealthy Rich White Men ticket.

in the repuke party.
