Biden on NBC was awesome.
He did not back down, he told it like it was. McCain was on right before him, lying through his teeth to Matt Laurer, when Laurer asked him about his fundamentals comment, McCain lied that he was talking about the American worker.

I almost fell off my chair. Time to pull out McCains votes on deregs.

1. Good post. McCain is a fiercely ordinary personality where Biden is
the steady stalwart personality.

And I think Biden's got the best fast ball.

5. I am not exaggerating here, Mc Cain looked like he was
about to lose it. That guys is wound tighter than a top. I even think Lauer was a little nervous what would happen next. Biden was passionate and forceful, but it was obvious the difference.

7. I hope a lot of people were tuned in.
Wouldn't hurt one bit to expose McCain as a hothead week after week. And if he exposes himself as a hothead, so much the better.

2. McCain is an idiot.
Everybody knows he was trying to make those typical "don't panic" George Bush type noises.

Now he looks like a lame ass who uses obvious lies as excuses when he needs to bail himself out.

4. He did a great job, I just wish he would keep in mind "sound bytes"
there were portions of his answers that ran a bit longish, even though his points were good ones.

That set viera up to have to interrupt him, which stomped on his answers in the middle of good points.

6. But he did not back down, I was pretty impressed with that
but he did it in a very controlled and in charge way. McCain was just one step from jumping off the edge and going ballistic, which sounds like he might have on another program I did not see.

9. absolutely, I liked it, like I said, that was my only criticism
only because it forced vierra to interrupt him, and that causes his points to get trampled.

13. He was just on CNBC and even better.
Joe Kernan was nearly speechless. I'd like to see Palin in a similar situation.

14. I caught a bit of that, and then he followed McCain on MSNBC
and I watched that. He was great! He should be on these shows more, and NOW is the time to be doing it.

Thanks, Joe!

17. Joe is such a better person than McLame. McLame has no more values any more
He is losing it too. He is going to go off on someone soon and look like a fool. Biden is passionate but calm and steady, good leadership.
