Biden comes out punching
Obama's No. 2 ties McCain to Bush policies, faults judgment


DENVER - Senator Joseph Biden Jr. accepted the Democratic vice presidential nomination last night and immediately attacked GOP candidate John McCain, slamming him for what he called failures of judgment and questioning whether his military experience qualified him to lead the country. Biden repeatedly linked McCain to what he called the "catastrophic" policies of President Bush.

It was red-meat stuff for the 4,233 Democratic delegates packed into the Pepsi Center for the party's national convention, many of whom were looking to Biden to fill a role they say presidential nominee Barack Obama badly needs - that of an aggressive and experienced attacker.

"The choice in this election is clear," Biden said. "These times require more than a good soldier. They require a wise leader."

He added later, "Again and again, on the most important national security issues of our time, John McCain was wrong and Barack Obama had been proven right."
