Like I say, Joe is saying a lot of off-the-wall things these days. I don't think Obama will take it much longer.

Biden says he moved from Pa because 2 Bob Caseys one 12 years older and one 12 years younger were the ones who were going to make it. Problem is he was 10 when he moved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden

I have to say that Senator Biden has been a bit too "off the cuff" lately.

Vox,

Way to parse your phrasing in an attempt to cover yourself. Here's what you said:

"Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and CAN be life threating." "Can" of course being the key word. Being operated on tonsils CAN kill you too.

In writing your original post, you left out the fact that the type of cancer you were talking about was SKIN cancer. Are you serously claiming that leaving out that bit of information was just an accident? Of course you did it on purpose because you knew the mention of multiple bouts of cancer would have more of an impact if you left out that the cancer was skin cancer.

I'm reminded of the people who say man has "contributed" to global warming? It's a nonsensical argument. Building a single parking lot makes the earth warmer. Of course man has contributed to global warming. The question is how much is that contribution and (assuming a warmer planet is a bad thing, which is certainly up for debate)whether doing something about it is worth the cost.

No, you obviously made a point

Mac,

I'm not misrepresenting anything. McCain had melanoma removed from his face in 2000. Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and can be life threatening. He has had multiple tumors removed and will continue to do so.

If anyone is misrepresenting facts, it's those who try to paint a picture of McCain as a paragon of health and vitality. Sure, he's in good shape for a man of 72 years, but as I've written before 20% of people over 70 have Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. As one gets closer to 80, the age McCain will be at the end of a putative second term, the number gets closer to 50%.

Vox,

You fail to mention it was SKIN cancer which has a very high survivability rating.

Of course, you've no problem misrepresenting the facts, do you?

Hey, I think if McCain can survive 5 years of mental and physical torture in a Vietnamese prison camp and survive multiple bouts of cancer and still be a credible candidate, then Biden is in OK shape too.

I think HIllary can get low down, but I don't think she will go there. For Hillary to accept a VP nomination after Biden, would be accepting 2nd place TWICE.

In my crazy prediction, I see Hillary waiting in the wings for the citizenship issue to blow up, for Obama to be disqualified, and then get the party nomination for President. (I think she really did win the nomination if not for Obama's cheating).

Should that happen, we've got a much tougher fight on our hands.

As things go now, Obama won't win against McCain with Palin.
