MESILLA, N.M.) - Joe Biden says he’s tired of the type of politics of division he heard in Sarah Palin’s comments last night, when she told a North Carolina fundraiser that she liked to visit “pro-American parts of the country.”

“It's disappointing, and I hope it's a slip of the tongue and she doesn't mean it, but she said it. It was reported she said that she likes to visit, quote, pro-American parts of the country,” said Biden, leading into a lengthy dissection of the remarks.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I, like your senator and governor, have been all over this great land. I've never been to a state, I've never been to a state that hasn't sent its sons and daughters to serve and die for this country. Right here in New Mexico right now, there are 1,400 Mexican sons and daughters -- New Mexican sons and daughters deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Thirty-six of them have already given their lives for this country.”

“Folks, it doesn't matter where you live, we all love this country. And I hope it gets through. We all love this country. Folks, one of the reasons why Barack and I are running is that we know how damaging the politics of division that continues to be practiced by the McCain, how damaging this policy of division has been. It's time to put this behind us.”

8. This is nuts....all they need to say is that Todd was a member of AIP until it became a liability

for his wife's political career. Even then, they have proof that she spoke to their convention last year.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand why this is still off the table re: Palin's attacks on Obama's patriotism. The media's going to ignore it so it's on Obama/Biden to expose it.

12. Hold on a little longer, Joe.....

In a couple of weeks she'll go back into oblivion where she came from. Her 15 minutes of fame were over a long time ago. Alaskans ought to be ashamed that she's their governor.
