Biden Thunders
Talk about the economy. Leave the attacks to us, Biden tells GOP. OK, that’s not exactly what he said. AP, watercarryingly:
GREELEY, Colo. – Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden advised Republicans on Tuesday to stop slinging attacks at Barack Obama and concentrate on offering plans to fix the nation’s deteriorating economy.
Biden told a rally in Greeley that this election is “all about the economy.”
“If it’s about the economy, talk about the economy, not about Barack Obama’s heritage,” he thundered to a crowd at the University of Northern Colorado.
Biden said Republican John McCain has no plan to help the middle class and noted that Obama was meeting with advisers in Florida on Tuesday to discuss immediate steps to shore up the economy.
Like Obama, McCain has a raft of economic proposals. Lately McCain’s speeches have combined attacks on Obama with discussion of his economic plans.
Thundering advice duly noted. No mention of Obama’s attacks. Then again, he’s been able to rely on friendly news organizations such as the Associated Press to do most of the running up San Juan McCain Hill for him. You know, the race-baiting, the Ayers defense, the Palin-bashing, the crankiness watch. Hang on, what’s this. With nary a hint of irony …
Biden also chided McCain for trying to distance himself from President Bush even as Democrats try to link them.
“He doth protest too much,” Biden said of McCain. “I know we aren’t running against President Bush, but we are running against the very same Bush economic policies that have dug us into this hole.”

Sarah Palin did a great job of ridiculing Biden yesterday, and filling in the blanks of just what those four or five crisis scenarios might be. It’s a must see video (via Powerline):
