Biden just threw the election away. Damnit!!!!

It's over guys, sorry

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/27/biden-swaps-i-with-o-in-fresh-gaffe-seized-on-by-romney-camp/

The vice president opened his remarks to 1,500 people packed into an armory by praising Virginia's Democratic Senate nominee Tim Kaine.

"I want to tell you, it's good to be in a state that's going to be represented by Tim Kaine," Biden said. "What a guy! There is a decent honorable man. That man has more integrity in his little finger than most people have in their whole body."

Yet in the next breath, Tim Kaine became someone else.

"I'm a big Tom Kaine fan. A big Tom Kaine fan," Biden said.


Moments after the speech, the Romney campaign pounced.


We can't keep making these mistakes. We just lost Virgina

47 percent of people who will hear about this on Fox News will not even know Joe Biden is currently Vice President.

Another 30 percent won't know which country in which he is Vice President.

The trashing of newbies is a little harsh here. Can we just Chill.
You know how it is said that our youth will be the key to our future.New innovated ideas, fresh insight to the mistakes of the past. Well it is the same thing here! We should welcome new insight. Not suppress it. We do not want to become closed minded like all those crazy GOP's.
Be CALM take a breath. Okay breath in, okay now out. Good we are calm.
I will close to say that not every Newbie is a troll.
So with that I will say Welcome to DU smorkingapple.

"Once again, Mitt Romney’s campaign is showing their focus on the big things — like one letter in Tim Kaine's name," Smith said. "If they put as much time and effort into their policies, maybe we'd finally have an answer for how they'd pay for $5 trillion in tax cuts weighted to the very wealthy."

The year Tim Kaine ran for governor...Joe Biden was the keynote speaker and he did a really great job. He probably was a big help getting him elected. So what if he got the name wrong. Big hairy deal. He knows and meet lots of people, can't remember them al.
