Biden says McCain often wrong on national security

CINCINNATI - Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden on Wednesday questioned John McCain's judgment to be commander in chief, arguing that the Republican presidential candidate would keep digging the United States into a hole of isolation and insecurity.

"Our country is less secure and more isolated than it has been at any time in recent history," Biden said in a speech to supporters. "This administration has dug America into a very deep hole around the world at a time our leadership is needed to meet the challenges of the 21st century."

Biden said a central question for the election is which candidate can get the U.S. out of that hole, and he said it is Democrat Barack Obama.

"Nothing is more important than judgment," Biden said in his remarks. "But time and again, on the most critical national security issues of our time, John McCain's judgment was wrong."

The speech offered some of the Obama campaign's strongest criticism to date about McCain's leadership abilities. It was scheduled two days before the first presidential debate, which will focus on foreign policy, and was billed by the campaign as a major speech on foreign policy by the veteran chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

2. yeah to say the least

I used to be much more wary of Biden, until I started realizing just how much more he knew than everybody else on foreign policy. Compare Biden talking about Iraq to McCain, it's just ugly. I don't think people grasp at all how little McCain knows, most people know Palin doesn't know anything, but McCain isn't a whole lot better.

3. Good---we must attack McCain

at minimum---he's UNFIT and RASH and Prone to RAGE attacks, etc........




we need to fight as if we're way down in the polls


we need a large margin to combat ballot box racism (bradley effect)

don't get complacent!!!!!!!!!

4. the debates will help

Especially the first one. Just Obama showing up and looking the part will help ease any fears about his experience, leadership readiness and knowledge of foreign policy. He'll almost automatically eat into McCain's poll advantages on those issues simply by going toe to toe with him.
