“The primaries were a barroom brawl. That's all over now and his good points are coming to the fore”
Errrrrr What? What does a primary in 1988 have to do with the primary in 2008?
“Campaigning for president in New Hampshire in 1987, Biden admitted he had misstated several facts about his resume after a man named Frank questioned his Syracuse Law School resume.
''I think I have a much higher I.Q. than you do," Biden responded.
He added that he ''went to law school on a full academic scholarship - the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship,'' adding that he ''ended up in the top half'' of his class (not true) and ''graduated with three degrees from college" (not true).
Five months later, Biden acknowledged that he graduated 76th in a class of 85.
''I did not graduate in the top half of my class at law school and my recollection of this was inaccurate,"
he said in a statement. He graduated with one degree -- a B.A. -- in two majors, history and political science.
''I exaggerate when I'm angry,''
(which appears to be all the time)
Biden told the New York Times, ''but I've never gone around telling people things that aren't true about me...'I guess every single word I've ever said is going to be dissected now.''
bingo!-

injest, interesting that you should object to a candidate who speaks his mind (misspeaking occasionally) and didn't graduate at the top of their class. Oh wait, you only object if they're running on the democratic side, not the republican.

You are going back 20 years to find something. Twenty years ago what was on our minds? Iran Contra. The economy. What is on our minds today? Iraq. The economy. Biden is liked and respected on both sides of the aisle and can get things done.
