I'm sure McCain and company love hearing this quote.

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Barack Obama's vice-presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., Wednesday said that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, might have been a better pick for the position than him.
At a rally in Nashua, New Hampshire, a man in the audience told Biden how glad he was that Obama picked him over Hillary "not because she's a woman, but because look at the things she did in the past."
"Make no mistake about this," Biden responded. "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America and quite frankly it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight."
Spokesman Ben Porritt offered this response from the McCain camp: "Barack Obama’s most important decision of this election and Biden - the candidate he selects - suggests himself that he wasn’t the right man for the job and that Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice. Biden certainly has a credible viewpoint on this."

But hey,
i guess that is just politics, right?
The Clinton Chronicles
The Death of Vince Foster - What Really Happened?
If I opened it now would you not understand?
sigh...I don't know where to begin with this stuff...I will say that your accusations about the Clintons are the #1 reason that I'm glad she didn't get the nom or the VP spot...
You mean because you are afraid "crazy" "right wingers" (which i am neither) like myself would latch on to this "baseless" "smear" and ostensibly discredit the campaign, and ruin poor Obama's chances,
or do you mean, because you are actually afraid that this stuff is true,
and that, low and behold, most of the accusations are based on very substantial evidence?
ps.
oh by the way.
thanks for playing. i notice the screenie is relatively new around here,
and i don't get many takers these days. nice of you to actually step up and (apparently) admit that there is indeed some fishy (to put it kindly) shit surrounding the Clintons.

*Starts playing creepy Unsolved Mysteries, Twilight Zone, or X-Files music*
Anyways, this is not a story. It's having respect for a fellow senator who has a lot of pull in this country. Just think if she was fully supportive of Obama and not putting forth a half-assed attempt at "supporting" him.
Sadly, the Obama/Biden ticket needs her despite the fact that they know how much she resents them.
man, it's awful seeing a public servant speaking with humility and saying nice things about someone else.
