Watch McCain's new Web ad targeting Biden's gaffes.

(CNN) — John McCain's campaign released a Web ad hours before the vice presidential debate that highlights embarrassing statements from Joe Biden and sarcastically asks what the Delaware senator might say Thursday night.

The McCain campaign has been touting Biden's debating skills in an effort to raise expectations of the Democratic VP candidate ahead of his only face-off with rival Sarah Palin — but takes the opposite approach in the new video.

"What might Joe Biden say at tonight's debate? Anything's possible," the announcer says before clips of past Biden gaffes are shown, including a 1987 town-hall where he told a voter, "I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do."

Other now-famous Biden moments shown in the ad include his off-the-cuff statement two years ago that "you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent…I'm not joking."

The ad also includes newly-minted gaffes from the campaign trail, including a September rally during which he accidentally told a man in a wheel chair to "stand up…let them see you," and a town-hall one month ago when he praised Hillary Clinton and said she "might have been a better pick than me."

"Ready to gaffe? Yes. Ready to lead? No," the ad's announcer says.

Last week, the RNC launched “The Joe Biden Gaffe Timeline,” a Web site that features “an interactive timeline, map, and videos to track Biden’s most noteworthy fumbles and missteps since becoming Barack Obama’s running mate.”

Watch: Biden-isms become an issue?

But most of the week has followed the standard convention of pre-debate spin: the campaigns have each downplayed their own candidate’s skills, and plugged their opponent’s. In a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Obama surrogate and Missouri Sen. Clair McCaskill said Biden "has a tendency to talk forever, and sometimes say stuff that's kind of stupid." The Democratic National Committee also circulated news reports praising Palin's performance in the 2006 Alaska gubernatorial debates.

Meanwhile, McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt said Wednesday Biden is the "Cicero of the Senate, who has been an amazing debater for 30-plus years."

I don't know what I will do with myself after 11/4 when this comedy is over. I have to find something else to amuse me. Unless Mcdaddy and Pliar win then the show wil go on …NO WAY..I'd rather be bored
Obama/Biden08

tulsa   October 2nd, 2008 2:27 pm ET

if the outcome of this race wasn't so important this would be funny.

Joe, just keep being yourself. You are honest and open. You show respect to people you address. You talk like one of the people who happens to have dedicated his llife to his family and these United States.

We are proud to have you as VP.

Republican for Obama   October 2nd, 2008 2:27 pm ET

JOHN MCCAIN GO HOME TO ONE OF YOUR 7 HOUSES AND SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE. IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE
OBAMA/BIDEN WILL BRING THAT CHANGE TO THIS COUNTRY.

MCCAIN YOU BLOW IT:

TINA FEY REALLY LET YOU DOWN.

am   October 2nd, 2008 2:27 pm ET

The fact that Joe can even speak after stuttering his whole childhood is a miracle. I would take his REAL blather over the Bush/Cheney/McCain rovian, secrecy hidden lie machine anytime.

Joe Biden bring it!!   October 2nd, 2008 2:27 pm ET

I like it that his "gaffes" are like jokes and he can back it up with his knowledge of the nation and world affairs. If he was inexperienced then I would see it as risky but I like Joe. McCain is grasping for air now that his campaign is drowning.

Kimy   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Sarah does not Gaffe. She just mutters incoherent gibberish. Or stares at the interviewer like a dumbfounded moose caught in a snow machines headlights.

TCE   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

A weak and obvious, but futile, attempt to influence the debate.

Brandon   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Why are some of you so afraid of Palin????? Is it her limited amount of experience? Is it her lack of international experience? Is it her lack of knowlege on the economy?

Hmmm….. I think you need to take a look at your "champion" Obama and see how he lines up to those questions.

Palin experience is > than Obamas.

Kab   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Dallas, TX…..
You are dumb and with the minority. You will lose and fail in this election and in life.

Obama/Biden 08

BC   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Oh my God – the McCain campaign mocks Biden's age when McCain is older, mocks Obama's experience when Palin has less, and now they bring up that Biden has said stupid things when… well you get the rest.

Jan   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

For all the Roman Catholics who want to promote a candidate based on his/her belief or non belief in Roe Vs. Wade you need to remember why our country was created. My church and yours needs to stay out of politics! Read the first amendment…..then read more about the letters Jefferson wrote having to do with it's intention.

Linda from Prescott AZ   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

How unclever!
Let's see, I guess the DNC could release a piece on McCain's mis-speaks, errors, whining and crying, disrespectful attitudes etc., but no one can afford to pay for that amount of airtime.

Blue California   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

I get how this "energizes" their base, they're preaching to their own choir. But I can't see how this gets them any independents, or swing voters. Somebody needs to *reform* the McCain Campaign.

Adam - Texas   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

You have to admit – it's pretty timely and funny. People tend to dwell and the smallest missteps even though they really should have more bearing on the issues and dilemnas at hand and who we elect to lead this country through them. If people were more actively engaged in the political process and held their elected officials accountable, we wouldn't be in such turmoil like we are today. People need to quit the party blame-game and realize both sides are responsible.

peter, CT   October 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Lets just be clear about this… the republican's are so desparate at this point, that they're doing all they can to stage the expectations of this debate in order to convince america that a B+ performance from a straight A student (Biden) is somehow on par with a C+ performance from a D-average student (Palin). ("grades" based on past-media performances… not intelligence for all you haters out there)
Lets try to focus on what she says people, not by how much improvement we've seen since last week.

Moody   October 2nd, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Wow……. Desperate are we?

Nicole In NE   October 2nd, 2008 2:25 pm ET

They've really been down in the mud since the polls slipped huh?

undecided   October 2nd, 2008 2:25 pm ET

I think that the more interesting Biden gaffs are those where he is ripping into Obama and stating that he is not qualified, or that he is wrong.

Independent but Leaning   October 2nd, 2008 2:25 pm ET

I like the ad except the part where he told the guy in the wheelchair to stand up. That one was not a gaffe, so much as just an honest mistake that could happen to anyone. I'm sure Biden felt really awkward about that.

fixthebroken   October 2nd, 2008 2:25 pm ET

POOOOOOOOO,

Yeah the Violence Against Women Act is not a major legislative accomplishment. Convenient you forgot that one; I wonder why.

Ignorance is sad. Go away!

Darryl   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

I agree with Tony..

McCain is sad..

lovinsun8   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Good. Lower Biden's expectations, he'll blow her out of the water either way.

Anne E.   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Biden may have his less than stellar moments, but so far what I've heard from him is the REAL "straight talk"!

BIDEN OUR TIME,
BARACKIN' THE VOTE!

Julianne   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Does the McCain camp REALLY want to go there?

Man it's sad to see just how low McCain has sunk. I think his reputation will be damaged permanently.

Deb   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Very ambitious for the McSame campaign to come up with Biden gaffes when he has a running mate who doesn't gaffe because she hasn't a clue as to reality. McSame is so far removed from the Maverick he once may have been. America please vote for the right candidate.

Deb

Registered Republican for Obama   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

There's a difference here.

Biden flubs when he tries to be funny.

Palin just doesn't have a clue.

Lone McCain Blogger   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Really honorable campaign you're running on the issues McShame

Tony   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

PALIN HAS REALLY BLOWN HER FUTURE CHANCES OF GETTING RE-ELECTED GOVERNOR OR TO ANY OTHER POLITICAL OFFICE.

I HOPE SHE THINKS HER 15 MINUTES WAS WORTH IT.

Tiffany   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

I'd take the Biden Gaffe timeline over the Palin mindless meter.

"I know you are but what am I?"

This is so stupid. Another reason I'm voting Obama/Biden. The campaign is ran by adults.

CitizenAJ   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Oh give me a break. So Palin bombs on interviews with the media and now the McCain campaign comes out with this adolescent response? Good gravy man, what is it that this ticket is offering America? Contry first? I thought I would NEVER see a more incompetent, out-of-touch group as the Bush administration but the McCain-Palin, Palin-McCain campaign is topping them! Whoa!

Smith   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Yup, it's tough to gaffe when you don't even know the answer to Couric's easy questions!

Alison   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

They do realize they have Palin on the ticket, right? She's enough gaffes in 2 weeks to fill an entire movie.

Junebug   October 2nd, 2008 2:24 pm ET

This from the "economy is fundamentally strong". Get a life.

Kevin Leo (Jonesboro, GA)   October 2nd, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Biden's gaffes have been humerous and infrequent. Palin's gaffes have been daily and shown a total lackof knowledge on pertinet issues that every VP should know. If the McCain/Palin tcket want to have this debate, they will lose big time!!!

Fighting for Obama Since he is too political correct!   October 2nd, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Get back to the issues McCrypt Keeper and Failin Palin!

Your stupid attacks are never going to work. The American public is hurting too much to listen to this bull. We need real solutions now!

european   October 2nd, 2008 2:23 pm ET

wow…I'm amazed the democrats are being called extreme leftists (by E.C.Coleman)…in Europe even center-right parties are more liberal than them! But then again someone who believes in creationism, is anti-abortion, against contraception would have never been considered a serious pick for a position as high as vice president where I live. At least not for the past 50 years…

ajks   October 2nd, 2008 2:23 pm ET

I think McCain is tired of everybody asking him why he picked such an unintelligent VP running mate. No matter what she says tonight, he will say that she is doing great, that she takes on the people in her own party, etc. (all of the same tired lines again and again).

Milton, Harrisburg, PA   October 2nd, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Hmm, it took 20 years to compile Biden gaffes. I bet you could put together an equal number of Palin gaffes from a single interview.

precious   October 2nd, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Good luck Sarah Palin. Keep your head up, and stay humble? God is the one in charge of the entire World, and he will allow things to happen, in order for his Word to be fullfilled.

As Bishop T.D. Jakes says "Nothing just happen". So whether we like it or not, THINGS WILL CHANGE, but it won't change for the good, unless we ourselves change!

So stay strong because God already told us that, NO ONE IS PERFECT! NO NOT ONE!

God Bless!

Jeff Brown   October 2nd, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Rick Davis is a disgusting human being. He is cut from the same dung heap as Lee Atwater and Karl Rove!

facts are facts   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Since it now public information the GOP are paying college students to come to the debate to protest it pretty much shows every pro McCain blog is also paid for as no one would pretend to be that stupid for nothing.

Darlis   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

McCain is desperate to hide his total inconsideration for this country he says he loves by choosing a running mate that he knew then, and everyone knows now, is simply and completely unqualified to be President of anything higher than a PTA. Just the facts. No malice here.

Jill American   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

This 'if Obama does it then it's OK' stuff has got to stop.
Biden plagerizes and loses his bid for the presidency, Obama does the exact same thing it's OK. Someone calls him uppity and it's not acceptable … he calls someone sweetie and it's OK. Obama has an inflamatory preacher, it's OK .. Palin does too .. it's not.
Same, same, same.

lol election   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

can't the mccain camp release a positive campaign that brags about their strengths? Oh they can't because fact check will be all over it

Michael   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

"Preaching to the converted." Look the phrase up.

It's all ads like this do: polarize.

Ken in Dallas   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

People have been making fun of the supposed gaffe about FDR on TV in 1929, but if you know the facts, it's not much of a gaffe at all.

You see, FDR was Governor of the state of New York in 1929, and he was, at that time, delivering the same sort of angry populist rants against the evil bankers that he delivered in his presidential inaugural, on the newsreels, in 1929. Even though 1929 was before he won the presidency, after the fact it's still customary to attach the honorific "president" to his name, even when referring to events prior to his presidency. Check Vanderbilt or the etiquette expert of your choice if you doubt me.

So the substance of Biden's gaffe was that he referred to newsreels as TV. The point is that Biden knows the history, and the substance of what he said was true. This is characteristic of Biden gaffes; he gets himself into trouble by telling the truth as he sees/remembers it.

Now you can ask yourself: why do people get so much enjoyment out of taking shots at a man for speaking the truth? After that, you can try out: Am I the kind of person who likes to takes shots at a man for telling the truth?

We can't be responsible for the stupid things other people say and do, but who is the person you see in your mirror?

Newsflash! Putin Invades Alaska's Airspace Between Palin's Ears   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Can't fix stupid when it comes to Palin. She's lost all credibility beyond repair.

Shane   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Ummm, clips from 1987? Is this your plan to gain the upper hand in the election.

I think tonight's debate will have more effect than some old sound bites.

Nice try, McCain!

Andrew   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

I think McCain and Bob Dole will be doing credit card ads pretty soon.

Raleigh, NC   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

No one cares about that! I don't! That's weak!

Habib   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

As an Indian man I deeply resent Biden's comments about seven eleven and accents.

But I resent even more the usage of the gaffe by the Republican Party to somehow portray HIM as a racist.

From what high moral ground does the Republican Party get the AUDACITY to accuse someone else of being racist?

The republican party is NOT the party of inclusion. And AT BEST they can claim that neither is the Democratic party…. but then again… the Democrats have placed a black man on the top of their ticket.

Check mate.

Al, NY NY   October 2nd, 2008 2:22 pm ET

They were for his debating skills before they were against them. Make up your mind!! As for EC Coleman and his capialized rant. Wow! The only reason any Catholic politician is supposed to not receive communion is because the radicalized bishop/priest is in the GOP's pocket and will ditto what they're told. I would rather have an inexperienced senator with an experienced senator behind him in line than a septagenarian with a lipstick fido with NO experience behind him

Dan   October 2nd, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Well the media won't cover the Biden / Obama gaffes. McCain might as well.

Who moderates these comments? the obama campaign?

Erma   October 2nd, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Lame ad….waste of money….

These ads remind me of childs play…..lets talk about Palin's odd speak shall we ??

Darlis   October 2nd, 2008 2:21 pm ET

McCain is desperate is hide his total consideration for this country he says he loves by choosing a running mate that he knew then, and everyone knows now, is simply and completely unqualified to be President of anything higher than a PTA. Just the facts. No malice here.

Keith   October 2nd, 2008 2:21 pm ET

i think its funny that McCain waited until AFTER Obama chose his Vp to choose a woman for Vp….i believe if Obama had chosen Clinton for Vp, McCain would have chosen another candidate. what do you think?

Random Dude   October 2nd, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Biden has made 10 Gaffes in his 36 years of Public life.
Sarah Palin has made more Gaffes in 36 days.

No one is buying McCain's BS.

"The fundamentals of our economy is strong" – This is the greatest gaffe of all time

Larry   October 2nd, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Biden mis-speaks, resulting in dumb things. But Palin doesn't mis-speak… she just doesn't know anything! There's a huge difference between just fumbling your prose and not having the intelligence in the first place. I'd take Biden's gaffes over Palin's ignorance any day.

Biff   October 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

a stinking attack commerecial???

OBAMA JUST PURCHASED A DISH NETWORK "CHANNEL" FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CAMPAIGN…

OUTSTANDING !

This is so stupid   October 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

He has gaffes because…. wait for it… he actually talks to the media, and voters, an awful lot. Palin barely speaks to either and has worse gaffes than he does. PATHETIC that someone might not vote for someone because they accidentally said a few stupid things, rather than any stance on an issue. It is even MORE PATHETIC that Republicans think people are that stupid!

Cheryl, Upstate, NY   October 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

What an idiot!! Sad little old man he can't see that his inept running mate has made much bigger blunders than Biden ever will. He is so pathetic and desperate. I can't believe any intelligent individual would ever consider voting for McSame/ Palin. Republicans put a spin all Palin gaffes, Funny isn’t it. Republicans should get a life and vote for real change OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!

Karen,   October 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

I hope Sen. Biden treats Palin just like anyone else. To hell with her being a woman and play the gentlemen.

Smith   October 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

McCain should be worried about Palin's own gaffes…I bet we'll hear quite a few tonight.

TyWebb   October 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

So far, to my knowledge, none of those "gaffes" cost over 4,100 lives in an unnecessary war nor were they responsible for selecting the most laughable Vice Presidential candidate in history. Biden should stop referring to McCain as his friend since he "approved this message". McCain's a joke – "life isn't fair".

Concerned   October 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Since the bailout issue, the rest of the world views us as bickering fools and then McCain decides to be a maverick and disrupt everything. Now we are still in financial disarray and this is all McCain's camp can do?

Come on people be creative!!!!!

I know you'll come up with racist ads, ads with gigantic lies in them, and ads to create fear amongst voters but the problem is it's 2008 and nobody's hearing it!!!!!!!!

This country deserves better!!!! We are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DAMMITTTT!!!!!

George in Indianapolis   October 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

It's aboout the time of day that the McCain camp climes victory for a debate that has not started. Biden can win my just letting Palin ramble.

By the way has anyone noticed that the McCain campaign is kinda like the Beverly Hillbillys? With Mc Cain as Jed, Cindy as Granny on Steroids and Botox and Palin as Ellie Mae gone mad biten by on of her critters ( would explain why she wants to shoot them from the air). And of course Tucker Bounds as Jethro.

shirley "60"   October 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

EVEN IF BIDEN MADE 500 GAFFES TONIGHT, WE ALL KNOW HE IS SMART. CAN WE SAY THE SAME ABOUT PALIN?

This camaign is beginning to resemble the Bob Dole campaign.

Remy   October 2nd, 2008 2:19 pm ET

McCain is losing in key states. Republicans cannot repair the damages Bush/McCain did for the last 8 years. McCain never said any words about Bush's stupidity because McCain is better stupid than Bush!

Spin Masters form the McCain camp will bark all the time but cannot bite because they have no teeth!

Pam   October 2nd, 2008 2:19 pm ET

I don't think pointing out the gaffes of Vice-Presidential candidates is a very good strategy for the McCain campaign.

Betty   October 2nd, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Be sure to go to Time Magazine August 29 article (available online!) where Gwen Ifill announced that she was writing her book…but I guess Time isn't on any of the GOP's reading lists. McCain camp's "surprise" at this yesterday is but another LIE.

facts are facts   October 2nd, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Gaffs are just that…………… gaffs and don't hold that much value with the voters otherwise McCain would only have about 1% of the vote right now. Remember bomb bomb bomb Iran, kill Iranians with cigarettes, doens't know where the Iraq border is , doesn't know the difference betwee a Sunni or Shiite and the list goes on.

The problem with Sara is not gaffs but just plain old fashioned stupidity and a complete lack of knowledge about anything other than how to skin a moose.

Candy West Virginia   October 2nd, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Great Job CNN. The bigger the fluff piece, the more you air it for free! The McCain camp comes out with these ads so you, CNN, with all your journalistic integrity will run it for them. Bravo!

no trickle down...   October 2nd, 2008 2:19 pm ET

At least Biden can grasp the basic concept of questions when they're asked to him and answer in an intelligent manner. Palin really struggles to show any understanding of questions posed, never mind actual topics!

People will stoop to any level while desperate, huh?? Maybe we should focus on how clueless Palin is and all the racial and sexist terms McCain has used when referring to Asians and his wife!

But you cant fool all the people all the time!

McCain is like the old uncle everybody dreads coming to the house for dinner. McCain capaign, the gift that keeps on giving!!! Kinda reminds me of the line in toy story where buzz told woody, "you're a sad little man"!!! Kinda fits McCain to a tee. Palin's gaffe o meter is the highest in history. She has made a gaffe basically everytime she speaks, so it's a 9 in 10 chance that everytime she speaks she will put her foot in her mouth.

gt   October 2nd, 2008 2:18 pm ET

who give s a crap ,, there all in this mess together to make them anr threre buddies rich anyway ,,,all of them are laughing all the way to the bank anyway

Mickie in PA   October 2nd, 2008 2:18 pm ET

I have no seen one ad of any substance from the McCain/Palin campaign. Every single ad they put out is an attack ad. That's because they don't have anything original or positive to say — just like the past 8 years of republican propaganda. I hope McCain and Palin not only lose the election but are forced out of politics completely by their constituents. They give a taint of smallness to all republicans. It's a shame none of the smart ones are handling his campaign for him.

CJM   October 2nd, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Here's Palin's campaign song, sung to the tune of "What A Wonderful World":

Don't know much about history. Don't know much foreign policy.
Don't know much about a science book. Don't read newspapers, how dumb I look?!!

But I do know that I'm a fool. Took me six years to finish school.

If I'm elected What A Wonderful World, This Won't Be….

Tom   October 2nd, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Gaffes for the most part are funny and shouldn't be taken seriously except for the fact that the Obama campaign and supporters continually used them against Hillary and are doing the same with McCain/Palin. Sorry Obama/Biden but if you want to live by the sword……………………..

Run, run, hide, hide, distract here… Look Haley's Comet over there….

McCain and Palin are running from the American Public and they both are a farce.

Do you really want the disoriented McCain as President? Years in a POW camp is bound to leave a few screws loose. Remember the movie Manchurian Candidate. Has he published any medical or psychological records?

Know-nothing Palin isn't much better. Her last interview was a joke! Did you see where she was exorcised by her minister (witchdoctor)!

America wake up.

New Day   October 2nd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Oh the Irony!!!! the party of Quayle, Bush and Palin are releasing ads about other people's gaffes

Independent in NC   October 2nd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Aw, don't do that to Joe. His gaffes are part of my list for the debate drinking game tonight.

I do feel that Palin is getting jumped on more than the other candidates, for whatever reason. There seems to be a definite nitpicking about her every sentence and move. I have seen plenty of interviews with Obama, McCain, and Biden where they have said something and I've thought "why isn't the reporter all over that?!"

It's interesting to read this site and then go over and read FoxNews or a more conservative blog. The McCain folks don't want to talk about anything questionable about McCain, and the Obama folks don't want to talk about anything questionable about Obama, and ultimately it's the American people who are going to be duped.

I don't know… this ad makes Biden seem more human and likeable to me…

David Beaudoin   October 2nd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Is it wrong that I don't find either of those example comments offensive? I think they're both kind of funny, and anyone who doesn't have an agenda that involves calling someone a racist would agree… At least that's my $0.02.

No amount of tongue-in-cheek cracks can top the sheer dimwittedness of 98% of what Sarah Palin has said over the past month or so.

Tom in CA   October 2nd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Phil Gramm was right…John McCain is a LIAR, a WHINER…, and an ANGRY OLD MAN THAT SHOUTS AT CLOUDS!

It's time for a change…Cindy will you please change John's diaper! Once again he's solided himself.

NO WAY! NO HOW! NO MCCAIN! NO PALIN! ALL THEY TELL ARE LIES…LIES…LIES!

Frank Robertson, Amherst, NY   October 2nd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

More and more, McSame is coming across as an angry white man, and Palin reveals herself as being a lowbrow fishwife from the sticks. Come on, America – we need leaders with intelligence, understanding, and diplomacy skills. Neither McSame nor Plain have demonstrated the ability to lead anything other than a moose hunt.

I was actually considering McSame earlier this year, but the continual ranting from the Republican party, along with the racist overtones of many of their ads, have pushed my vote into Obama's column.

GO OBAMA!!!!

Tony   October 2nd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

DESPERATE OLD MAN.

NOW MCCAIN IS USING THE SAME B.S. ABOUT NOT BEING READY TO LEAD AGAINST BIDEN THAT HE HAS BEEN USING ON OBAMA ALL ALONG.

HOW PATHETIC. PALIN IS SO DANGEROUSLY INEPT IT BOGGLES THE MIND.

IWASP!-Intelligent Woman Against Sarah Palin!   October 2nd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

After a while people are going to get real sick of your lies, desperation and tune you out and vote you off mccain!

To the moon   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

It is a good thing the dems don't run mistakes and stupid things said by Palin…. McCain takes low road after low road, day after day.

rice, bryan   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

really, mccain, really, you of all people, really. that's calling the kettle black isn't it?

Kelby from Houston, TX   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Biden gaffes through out his career are more intellegent than anything Pailin has said through out this campaign.

If this debate is anything like any of Palin's interviews, this is going to be The Funniest Debate EVER!

Tek   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

You know, there'es a difference between Biden and Palin. Biden will say some stupid and tactless things sometimes but Palin is just stupid. Biden has a grasp on all of the issues but sometimes he talks to much or is too blunt. Palin on the other hand is just ignorant on the issues. To me being ignorant is far worse.

legare   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Okay and what about yours McCain. "I will veto any beer" ready to bring back prohibition I see.

MD, TX   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

What is really worrisome is that Biden makes himself into an idiot even with the press (Couric, Brokaw, Matthews, etc.) coddling him. Biden is dumber than Obama and I thought that would have been impossible.

deron   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Proof that Democrats are hypocrites. How many times has W been made fun of for his misspeak. They portray him as an idiot; but Biden does it, and you all make excuses.

I'm also tired of hearing how Palin isn't qualified to be VP. How come nobody talks about Obama not being qualified to be PRESIDENT!!!! He has never accomplished anything in his two years in the senate, and never did anything before that. (Unless you count looking sharp on Oprah experience).

gino   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

E.C. Coleman

Being really stupid in capital letters only makes you look more stupid. Take off the caps lock and pretend you can think. Otherwise you sound as dense as Sarah Palin.

Republicans HAte America   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

In McPhonies world his gaffes are irrelevant. I just wish I can already vote for Obama and shut this old worm up.

MJ   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

The McCain campaign is trying to make Biden look as bad as possible so when Palin tanks she still comes out looking good.

Obama/Biden 08′

SUNSHINE   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

ok and mccain said the "fundementals of the economy are strong'.. that gaffe along with Bush's have to be the most bs gaffes in american history.

Chris   October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

It's sad how McCain's camp calls foul and sexism and double standard everytime someone comments on Palin's incompetant, rambling and down right ignorant gaffes, but feel it's a-ok to turn around and do the same to Biden. Talk about double standards.

prairieguy   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

and to think I supported this tire, pathetic, old man for President in 2000…McCain you ought to change your name to McShame as Joe has NEVER attcked you personally about all of your gaffes just this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elle   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Biden's gaffes are funny and he admits it. He pokes fun at himself for it.

That's the difference between him and Palin – she actually thinks her obvious gaffes are correct and tries to defend them! I.e. The Alaska/Russia incident.

If Palin could just admit her lack of knowledge in areas instead of trying to be deceptive and show that she's something bigger than she really is, life would probably be a whole lot easier for her. That's the true definition of a leader: Someone who can admit when they've made a silly gaffe versus someone who consistently defends their stupid remarks.

Betty   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Sara Palin IS a gaffe.

Mark, Cleveland Ohio   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Hey E.C., since you make yourself out to be a religious perons, it says that "those without sin shall cast the first stone". So stop casting stones. Your views and comments make me want to choose the party that you oppose.

Tired of the Liberal Spin!!!   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Awww, the old man can't take it??
I'd hate to see how hurt his feelings got when another country hated him as VP. Where would he hide then? What type of speech would Obama give to pull the heat from him then?

Michelle Marietta Ga   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Big difference between Biden gaffes and Palin gaffes. Joe Biden talks off the cuff, innocent mistakes, and some of them are truthful just not PC.

Palin is easily confused just by the question, her answers drag on and make no sense…SCARY.

I think she will do well tonight, remember her expectations are so low, that at this point in the campaign she can only go up.

Biden will win the debate, but the media will call it a tie.

Ed, Santa Fe NM   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Another stupid, pointless, whiny GOP ad…. what moron recently said LIFE JUST ISN'T FAIR ?? and what about boob Palin's pointless babbling on TV ???

A gaffe is one thing; total ineptitude is quite another.

Dave From Philly   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

We know who Joe is and most are still willing to support him. We don't know who Sarah is and most are unwilling to support her.

Joe mis-speaks like most people. Sarah does not know how to speak.

Are there really comparing these two people two each other?

chelle   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

These are simple gaffes…..shal we bring up errors in knowledge about things that matter???? Shia/Sunni…..countries that don't exist anymore….not knowing who is your ally in NATO…..Iraq/Iran history….and on and on and on. This is stuff that actually matters…not if FDR was on tv or in a newsreel….for heaven's sake Republicans – how can you in good conscience put up with this stuff?

Jessica, DE   October 2nd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

I can't believe there are people who really want to vote for this man (who I can't believe I actually respected back in 2000), when his entire campaign has been based on childish fingerpointing and foot stomping and "WAHH, LIFE ISN'T FAIR" every single time something doesn't go his way.

Birds of a feather flock together, I suppose.

Patrick Henry   October 2nd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

O.K. Palin has been in public office less than a decade.
But during that time–despite her use of que cards–she's managed to achieve greater acceptance than her opponent–and achieve some credible results in her home state than Biden could only dream of.

Who is the best choice.

Let's see how they interact–and whether the winner will be a has been Senator picked up for damage control–or a new age reformer who is hell bent on changing business as usual in Washington?

Tim   October 2nd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Sarry Potter needs to go back to Hogwarts. No one gaffes as much as
she does. After the debates, McCain's ad will be obsolete.

SM   October 2nd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

How about McCain calling himself a "hero" this on MSNBC this morning. How full of yourself can you be?

Gail   October 2nd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

It would probably be considered sexist if the Obama campaign did an ad showing clips of Palin's interview with Couric.

C a r o l   October 2nd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Right on the money. "ready to gaffe, but NOT READY to LEAD." That's the Dems.

dennisec   October 2nd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

It's alright, tonight's debate is going to be great entertainment for my teens and me!

Keith in VA Beach   October 2nd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

How dare they target someone for gaffes and cry sexism when anyone even mentions Sarah Palin. Life isn't fair huh John McCain. After yesterday I'm certain you have no chance of winning this election. Now I can cancel my plans to move out of the country. Thank God for Barack Obama

Vincent, Great Lakes, Illinois   October 2nd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

hmmmm…. At least we know what to expect with Biden. McCain wanted media attention, remember he was the "media darling" in 2000 and he called the media his friends. He is now getting all the attention he complained about not getting in the first place.

Sarah on the otherhand is the media darling. Eventhough she can't answer a question with a straight answer if her life depended on it, there are plenty of Radio and Mainstream Media folks that are willing to embrace her because she is a woman and needs protecting because there are too many people picking on her. (Are you reading this Lou Dobbs?) Where were these same people when the media was having a field day on both Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain?

My thought, if you present yourself like a big dog, you had better be able to take whatever bone is thrown your way.

Pat F   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Biden is a complete cottenhead.

He said very recently that when the market crashed in 1929, President Roosevelt went on TV to talk to the American people. Of course, Roosevelt wasn't president in 1929, and there was no TV then, either.

He plagerized a speech about his own childhood (huh?) from a loser British politician.

The list is endless.

Here's a good slogan: Biden: A Bigger Joke Than Quayle Ever Was.

Valerie from Middletown Connecticut   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Sorry, Repubs are trying to comapre apples to oranges here. Yes, we all misspeak. However there is a huge difference between making comments or asking a man in a wheelchair to stand up vs. babbling on and on and on…… never giving an absolute answer. Yes, tonight's debate will reflect this.

Stacy from Loudoun County, VA   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

John, thanks for the advertisement prior to the debate. It is nice to know that you have outlined a plan on how to keep America's economy going…wait, you don't HAVE that ad. Nevermind.

Rex Savage   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Biden at his unpretentious worst makes Palin look like an uneducated, ignorant, slow-witted bimbo. The Thursday night debate has the lowest expectations of any public argument since the Cookie Monster and that purple thing got into it a few years ago on Sesame Street. McKeating and his gang of Rovians are working double time to get the public to expect nothing from either candidate, and are succeeding. Says a lot for us, doesn't it?

America will be free again   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

I WISH OBAMA/BIDEN COULD DO MCCAIN'S GAFFES IT WILL BE SO FUNNY…BUT THESE GUYS RUNS ON ISSUES.
Not some hopeless ads i dont know what mcliar think Americans are?
I was later earlier to say something about his earlier Sarah will be fine! statement.
Why will a man insult a party leader and still hope to talk to Dems…?
Why will a man "shutdown his campaign when he has a VP pick?
Why will a man fly from NYC to WH and took him 26hrs?
Why will a man say life his not fair when he has 13 cars and 8 houses?

Cos the man his McCain and no IQ at all…
Go OBIDEN

banderson   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Deception, misdirection and propaganda this is the Republican way. Are you kidding me? These people have no shame. If Senator Obama sent out a ad attacking Sarah Palin for her gaffes he would be accused of "Sexism". If the media talks about Sarah Palin gaffes they are accused of "Gothca journalism". Please, will somebody call these people out on this stuff.

Cuban-mami-4-OBAMA   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Oh PLEASE Biden has PLENTY OF SUCCESSES AND HE IS BY FAR A BETTER MAN THAN MCCAIN!

Roger Cohen wrote this in the New York Times today:

" I know one thing, this is no time for gambling. John McCain rolled the dice on sarah Palin. I am grateful for Bob Rice of Tangent Capital for pointing out that the actuarial risk, based on mortality tables, of Palin becoming president if the Republican ticket wins the election is about 1 in 6 or 7.

Is America ready for this?"

David   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

It is irrelevant what Biden says because the Main Stream Media does not care. They are so much in the tank for Obama it is pathetic. We have officially become like a state run news organization filled with propoganda. You need to listen to FoxNews or AM radio to hear anything resembling a dissenting voice.

Doug R.   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

McCain should look at himself in the mirror and tell us about his serial adultery, his involvment in the Keating Five, his providing sensitive intelligence and military information to his North Vietnamese captors, his 1,200 pages of medical records, the fact he was born outside the United States, his lies and flip flops on issue after issue after issue. This man is absolutely pathetic. He will be defeated big time on November 4th!!

No McCain No Palin   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

I like to know why McCain voted for the bailout plan that is loaded with pork? It looks like the double talk express is more interested a winning an election versus voting for what he believes is right. Where is your integrity senator?

Sue, OH   October 2nd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Billy   October 2nd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

This is the definition of irony.

At least Biden knows and understands our government.

Palin…..?? She thinks a Federalist supports state's rights and wants smaller federal government…. LOL.

The last month of the campaign is going to be a mixture of amusement and anger as McCain fires through the repertoire of lies and low blows. What has the republican party come to? They are imploding. I wonder which republican leader will stand up in the next four years to try to turn things around for them.

Bob Indianapolis IN   October 2nd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

These guys have a faulty spinning Time Machine! Last week they had the poster that McSame won the debate BEFORE the debate even happened. Dewey Beat Truman… Then Barack won the debate.

Hopefully, they will continue to jinx themselves with this sophomoric crap! Nice that ALL news organizations [except Faux] are fact checking all their lies now!

E.C.Coleman   October 2nd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

OBAMA AND BIDEN ARE THE ONES GOING DOWN……….THEY ARE DISGUSTING AND UNQUALIFIED TO BE IN ANY OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT. OBAMA IS A CROOK AND LIAR AND UNQUALIFIED AND UNEXPERIENCED. HE'S A FOOL. BIDEN IS JUST NOT QUALIFIED BECAUSE HE KNOWS NOTHING….BUT HAS SERVED WITH HIS CRONIES FOR MANY YEARS. IF BIDEN WERE NAMED THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE…….OBAMA THE VICE PRESIDENT……GOVERNOR PALIN WOULD STILL TRUMP BOTH CANDIDATES WITH EXPERIENCE AND EXECUTIVE ABILITY. GET REAL, AMERICA!!!

Fav   October 2nd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Obviously because Ms Failin can't connect her brain to the issues and matters of the country, you automatically take aim at Joe, so as to do what?

Compare him to her???

Or are you just admitting that indeed Failin is out of sync w/ the world and therefore trying, somehow to prove Biden to be the same.

What soar losers you Republicans are!!

OBAMA – BIDEN!!!

CNN post this!

David   October 2nd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

I don't worry too much about what Biden says, I worry more about his actions. Like how predatory lenders (MBNA) that headquatered in his state more or less own him and his son, Hunter.

Vegas Barbie for Obama   October 2nd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Weak attempt, McCain. Bottom line? The experience and eloquence of Sen. Biden (even if he is a bit loquacious at times) trumps the stupidity and bad acting (doesn't even KNOW and can't cover for what she doesn't know) of the Alaska Beauty Queen RUNNER UP any day of the week. GO JOE!!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & 12 YES WE CAN!!!!

please   October 2nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Why doesn't McCain start putting out ads about what he is going to do? Oh, maybe because he is planning on continuing on the failed Bush/repub policies and those are not too popular right now.

I love the blogger talking about Pelosi. Is that how desperate you are, now you're even attacking people not running for Pres or VP? Pathetic.

Nathan   October 2nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Making gaffes is not the same as being a complete idiot. Biden makes gaffes, but nobody doubts his intelligence.

Sarah Palin? ummmmm, you can see the exact same cluelessness in her eyes that we see in Bush's eyes when they attempt to answer a question.

She'll do fine tonight because the debate format was changed to accomodate her stupidity. But there's no doubt, she is DUMB.

sam   October 2nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Here we again!..McCain ads are sick. He is short of declaring victory for his VP in to night's debate.

Dave, Tx for Obama   October 2nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

If anyone believes Biden isnt ready to lead, then i got a bridge up in Alaska to sell you, the only problem is it leads no where.

I would rather have Joe with his gaffes for 4 years than a single day with Palin.

Vote Obama/Biden 08

MLH   October 2nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Wow. How do you attack Biden on gaffes when you can't even allow your own vice-presidential candidate to talk to the press? If Sarah Palin is good enough to be second in command, or even, God Forbid, President of the U.S., isn't she good enough to hold her own in a debate?

Soccer mom for Obama   October 2nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Peggy - TX   October 2nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Joe Biden's gaffes are not of the type that tends to sway voters against him or Obama. Unlike the gaffes by McCain and Palin, who are much like typical stereotype politician, air brain egomaniac hiding behind a facade of intelligence and decency, a gaffe often exposes the politician’s true colors. In such cases, such as Palin’s recent interviews, the gaffe is fatal.

McCain is wasting his time and money advertising Joes many gaffes because Joe is clearly intelligent, knowledgeable in his job, and he is a decent human being through and through.

No gaffe made by Joe has challenged this widely excepted perception of him.

Tony   October 2nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

The McCain campaign has been touting Biden's debating skills in an effort to raise expectations of the Democratic VP candidate ahead of his only face-off with rival Sarah Palin — but takes the opposite approach in the new video.

"What might Joe Biden say at tonight's debate? Anything's possible," the announcer says before clips of past Biden gaffes are shown, including a 1987 town-hall where he told a voter, "I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do."

————————————

Palin has no IQ, but I guees McCain hasn't realized that yet. He sure will after tonight.

Frank,MO   October 2nd, 2008 2:10 pm ET

You're serious ? A gaffe is not good … but Palin's problem are not gaffes – she is not smart. She is even less intelligent than Bush (despite the fact that she is not aware of it).

David from Kentucky   October 2nd, 2008 2:10 pm ET

McCain is a real stand up guy!!!! Biden comes out a week ago condemning an Obama campaign ad calling McCain "computer illiterate" and McCain comes out this week with this ad slamming Biden. What a jerk! McCain is one of the most dishonorable politicians I can ever remember.

naomi in Miami   October 2nd, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Biden could trip on his way in and fall into the audience and it would still not compare to that air bubble McCain calls a running mate. Biden does say what is on his mind. Since Palin never has an answer good,bad or otherwise, she must have nothing but empty space up there. Geez McCain( i tell the truth 100% of the time) is there anyway for you to stoop lower?

Michael F, Vancouver   October 2nd, 2008 2:10 pm ET

This is truly pathetic. Also, to Bay Buchanan, your vehement denials of how inept Ms. Palin appears to be and your argument regarding Ms. Ifill's inappropriateness to host the VP debate is making you and your party look completely without principle.

Can you say "October Surprise".

Greg   October 2nd, 2008 2:09 pm ET

I'm afraid the McCain camp has done it's damage already so this debate is a wash.

All Palin has to do is state her name correctly, and she'll win.

Expectations are SO low for her. They've got a safty net with their complaining about Gwen Ifill before the debate even starts. And they have a debate format which is little more than timed stump speeches…no real "debate" to be had.

It's so nice that in America, anyone can get a job being heartbeat away from being the president no matter if they are qualified or not. Because we grade VP's on a curve so we don't look mean.

Man I wish America paid attention to substance instead of style!!

Eli   October 2nd, 2008 2:09 pm ET

OMG this man has been in politics a long time and he is still making big ones. Palin has been in for a short time(Obama and biden say so themselves) and the media jumps when she makes one or because she does not know how many times that John Mccain uses the bathroom in a day or how he voted on a subject 20 years ago. Ask John McCain not Palin if you want to know something about John McCain. I wonder if Obama knows how many times Biden has voted on a paticular subject, NO he would say ask Biden or I will ask him.

YES…….let's talk about Biden and Pelosi's famous PRO CHOICE regarding Abortion that is AGAINST the Tennants of the Catholic Religion. AS I RECALL, BOTH HAVE BEEN CENSORED AND CALLED BEFORE THEIR ARCHBISHOPS FOR THESE VIEWS AND BIDEN TOLD NOT TO TAKE COMMUNION. LET'S TALK ABOUT PELOSI BEING CALLED AND SANCTIONED FOR MISQUOTING THE BELIEFS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. HOW STUPID ARE THES TWO PEOPLE? PELOSI IS ALSO A HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM PRESIDENCY…….SHE'S 3RD IN LINE!!!! GOD FORBID THAT EITHER OF THESE TWO EVER GET TO HEAD THIS GOVERNMENT. OBAMA IS THE WRONG CANDIDATE BECAUSE HE'S A FRAUD AND STUPID. SENATOR MCCAIN AND GOVERNOR PALIN ARE BOTH OF EXECUTIVE ABILITY AND EXPERIENCED AND QUALIFIED MORE THAN EITHER OF THE 3 RADICAL LEFTIST DEMOCRATS NAMED ABOVE. WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA? AMERICANS WANT TO BE LED BY THE NOSE BY THE BIASED MEDIA AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING THEY HEAR!!!

At least Obama let's Biden be Biden — no leash, no muzzle, just let's Joe be the person he is. And DOES not make excuses when he gaffes. He let's Joe make his mess and clean it up—like a big boy should! Maybe Palin can grow up and deal with her own "gaffs"…

McCain is trying to pretend Palin is something she's not (smart for one, and knowledgeable on international affairs for another)

The mccain camp is desperately trying to take the focus off of their unqualified vp choice, and mccain's serious error in judgement. It won't work, Biden is ten times more qualified than palin. I have a question, did palin even graduate from high school? She doesn't seem to have any depth or grasp of the world outside of Alaska, and even that is flimsy.

Adam   October 2nd, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Notice how the Republicans are releasing all these ads tearing down their opponents nearly every day?

Notice how the Democratic ticket is releasing ads disagreeing with the policies of the Republicans and touting their own as the better option?

Hmm…

Vote for people who won't tell me what they're going to do, but waste money trying to make the other choice look stupid or vote for the people explaining why their policies are better… gee, let me think about this one.

I really wish McCain would recognize that his attempts to discredit just look like desperate attempts to get attention.

Independent for Obama   October 2nd, 2008 2:08 pm ET

He should apologize to donors for wasting their money like this. And they should be more worried about what Palin might or might not say. The McCain campaign, no direction home.

They forgot all about FDR addressing the union on TV in 1929. That one cracked me up!!!

David   October 2nd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

And what about Governor Palin's gaffes or her complete lack of understanding of national issues or foreign policy matters. Everyone mispeaks at point or another. I suffer from foot-in-mouth disease my self and I still think I am a good person. Heck I live in Canada and know more about McCain and court cases in the US that I do not agree with. I probably know alot more about the US than I should.

FYI – we have a federal election taking place here in Canada and there is aleaders debate going on tonight but guess which debate we Canadians plan on watching – the US Vice-Presidential Debate.

Angelo   October 2nd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Talk about a desperate McCain.

Geez, we don’t have to go back 10 years to get a clip of Palin to find out that she is NOT qualified. Just have an ad with her interview with Katie Couric.

Plus the difference between Biden and Palin is that Biden’s remarks were gaffs. We all know Biden well enough to know he has internal and foreign policy experience. Palin’s remarks showed that she doesn’t know much of anything. BIG DIFFERENCE!!

JoelWhy   October 2nd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Can you imagine the mock outrage from McCain if Obama released a similar ad showing Palin's gaffes? The big difference, however, would be that those gaffes could easily be compiled from just two weeks of media interviews.

Theresa - Minneapolis   October 2nd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

If the Obama campagin did something like this, it would be called "unfair attacks". I personally think it's hilarious. I hope Joe brings it up during the debate tonight in a sarcastic manner to show McCain and his advisors how extremely out of touch with reality they really are!

Chris   October 2nd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Thank you, McCain, for lowering expectations for Biden's debate performance! Much needed!

McCain–what an idiot. Terrible strategic blunder…

CJM   October 2nd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Well there's a big difference between a gaffe and incompetence. Palin can't articulate one sentence coherently. She doesn't sound educated at all when she speaks.

Jenny in CA   October 2nd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

I really do feel sorry for the Republicans. I bet we are going to start seeing Rev Wright ads too. How do you think they would feel if Democrats went after teen pregnancy, pill addiction, Keating 5, lobby conections…oh that's right, they will cry "liberal media, life isn't fair, gotcha journalism" it's really pathetic.

McCain has disgraced himself and it will affect his future

Kentucky   October 2nd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

How desperate is McCain's campaign?? Please tell me why you would bring up something that happened in 1987? I mean, if you want to bring up the past, lets bring up the fact that you cheated and left your wife for Cindy…then lets talk about how you cheated Cindy with a lobbyist. Quit pointing the finger, be a man and take the blame every once in a while. For a POW, you sure are a sissy. McCain, face it…you're done.

A-Man   October 2nd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Does McCain ever plan to run an ad about what he will do for the country. Historically they got away will their lies and misleading the public because the Democrates did not have the organization to ensure the public knew the facts. IF OBAMA RUNS THE COUNTRY LIKE HE HAS THE PRIMARIES AND NOW THE GENERAL ELECTION, HE WILL BE AN AMAZING PRESIDENT!

Fredo   October 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

I actually think Biden is witty and self-effacing in his comments. He says some dumb things sometimes, but he's obviously intelligent and informed about the issues facing this country.

GRANNY PEARL   October 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

I WATCHED IT AND PALINS STAND-UP IS WAY FUNNIER!

Toni - Atlanta   October 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Let's see — how many more days remain until November 4th? I'm still waiting to hear of McCain's position on the issues. McCain's camp is so busy looking back in time, I'm also beginning to wonder whether he has the ability to move forward!!

Anna PA   October 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Biggest caffe in recorded caffe history

"The Fundamentals of our economy are sound"

McCain just keeps shooting himself in the foot. Whenever people see this ad there's a good chance it will leave them thinking about McCain's own caffes not Biden.

Keep it up John your are going to single handly going to get Obama elected!!!!

Keep McStupid out of the White House, for all our sakes!!!

WI Cheesehead   October 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Sarah "Milli Vanilli" Palin’s five weeks of fame are coming to a screeching stop tonight. Like they say it’s not the free fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop. But before the show is over we’ll have a debut of TNL(Thursday Night Live) starring Sarah Palin. Look out SNL your ratings many go down after tonight. But then again Tina Fey can still use the material verbatim as long as SNL gives Sarah credit where it’s due.

michael   October 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

jees! you guys in moderation wake up

Donna   October 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

This is hysterical coming from McCane's camp…I'm pretty sure that Biden can NAME at least ONE publication if asked what he reads…no matter what Biden says tonight, he'll still be smarter that PALIN…

Keep lowering the bar for Sarah and she may just exceed their low expectations from their own VP candidate…

Mike   October 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

When McCain's ads finally start dealing with real issues, let me know.

Barney   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

As long as Biden doesn't veto beer – I'm ok with him.

Also, what about "never have to go to war for oil again…….."

or "bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb iran……."

Two people qualified and able to be professors of constitutional law (for the entire country)

or ——- Geezer and Gidget?

Independent White Woman   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

McCain—"I suspended my campaign, took our ads down, came back to Washington, met with the House folks and got on the phone, and also had face-to-face meetings**Sorry McLiar the negative ADS were still Running…….You were Grand Standing and it back fired …..Old FORT!!!**

indy chris   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

since selection, biden has made really one notable gaffe–the one about fdr appearing on tv when he should've said newsreels–throughout over 100 interviews. in the THREE interviews palin has given she has broken the gaffe ticker.

then again there is a big difference between gaffes and idiocy.

SS   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

All Biden needs to do is to treat Palin as an EQUAL but different in regards to views, and he will come out ahead. This will asure that he does not come across as an attack dog or condescending.
You are in our prayers Biden! God Bless You tonight….

Tim   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

P.S. NEWS FLASH – Sarah Palin has won tonight's debate, hands down…

no mcBush   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

====I'll take a gaffe machine over know nothing bimbo any day of the week.

Sara - NJ   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

I love Joe, he has a natural sense of humor. At least he doesn't have that nasty squeeky sarcastic voice Palin has.
America loves Joe Biden no matter how the Repubs are trying to tarnish him.
Obama/Biden08

mitch   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

sarah cant make it. she has a baby seal clubbing contest to attend.

ann   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

think palin and mccain should go fishing

michael   October 2nd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

how about i can see clearly now russia form my back door?

John   October 2nd, 2008 2:04 pm ET

When Joe Biden says something unthoughtful, it's a gaffe. When Sarah Palin says something unthoughtful, it's definitional. Palin's problem in not gaffes, it's incompetence.

JImmy in California   October 2nd, 2008 2:04 pm ET

One cannot argue about the McCaine campaign running gaffes by Senator Biden, however the one about the man in a wheelchair was not a gaffe. Senator Biden had not idea the man was confined to a wheel chair until it was shown to him. I think that inclusion by the McCain campaign was most cruel and disrespectful. It also did not include the comment by Senator Biden once he realized the man was confined. The gaffes run about Gov. Palin have at least run her entire statement rather than just a soundbite that is cut short to give the statement a different meaning.

Just another way McCain is showing his fear of losing and that he is willing to do anything to win the White House.

Danielle, TX   October 2nd, 2008 2:04 pm ET

Oops…your desperation is showing.

arc, Lugano CH   October 2nd, 2008 2:04 pm ET

Where is the "Palin Wins" commercial?

Rick   October 2nd, 2008 2:04 pm ET

If I had the 6 pack of stupid who thinks her greatest gift is being the "new energy" as my VP choice, I wouldn't have anything to say about anyone else and "gaffes"….

Reality Check richmond virginia   October 2nd, 2008 2:04 pm ET

well, I'm sure it will at least be coherant.

maria Mtl, Can.   October 2nd, 2008 2:04 pm ET

Nice try McSame, but it's not working..

John from Swainsboro   October 2nd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

As far as gaffes go – has anyone else noticed that McCain keeps refer to the economic crises in the past tense. He even did this Monday before the vote went to the house. I can't blame him for wanting all this to go away- but it is telling, as if the crises is more a P.R. problem than a fundamental issue facing our country.

Tim   October 2nd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Many of Biden's "gaffes" that are mocked by McCain are really the result of Biden simply being honest and expressing his true feelings – obviously that's viewed as a liability by those whose normal course of action is concealing, spinning, or denying the truth.

Tony   October 2nd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

WHEN YOU AND YOUR RUNNING MATE HAVE NO RECORD TO RUN ON YOU ARE LEFT WITH ONLY LIES AND ATTACKS AGAINS YOUR OPPPONENTS.

AMERICA HAS WOKEN UP JUST IN TIME TO SEE HOW DANGEROUSLY IGNORANT PALIN IS AND HOW DESPERATE MCCAIN IS.

JUST IN TIME!

Nick - Arlington, VA   October 2nd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

so? ….biden is gaffe prone…but palin is idiot prone.

michael   October 2nd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

i think the 7-11 comment is kind of cool

Glenn in California   October 2nd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Well, if you have nothing good to say about yourself or what a McSame/Palin presidency would bring, I guess you may as well attack your opponent and see if anything sticks. What a low life.

Good job McLame for "taking the high road." Your hypocrisy on this shows how you've sold your soul to try to win this election. I once respected you and am sorry that you're now only a shell of the man you once were. It's pathetic. R.I.P.

Just say NO to Bush 44.

Gretchen   October 2nd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

You could multiply Biden's gaffes over his entire public service career many times over and you still would equal the stupidity that has come out of Palin;s mouth in just a few short weeks!

Tim   October 2nd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

What does this have to do with anything? Just another ploy to distract the common voter who gets their new from sound bites from the fact that when it comes to the issues, the Republicans are lacking. The sad thing is, it works – but I am hoping America is becoming smarter and more informed.

And I used to be a Republican. Palin is just a disgrace.

Dallas, TX   October 2nd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Please, I'm SO sick of OBAMA/BIDEN, I could puke!

Typical Dem response, get over yourselves, it's always a gut emotional response. Please!

James in NYC   October 2nd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

More High Road politics from McCain and company!
I am tired of this stuff.

Obama/Biden in 08!

LLM from MD   October 2nd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

I MEANT IT WILL NEVER BE TRUE!!! Her IQ is that of a moose!!!

Corey Gabriel   October 2nd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Did anyone expect otherwise? The McCain/Palin campaign has nothing to offer and is running on empty, so their campaign will be nothing but negative, misleading and distorted attacks, and in some cases outright lies, for the next weeks leading up to Nov. 4th. They can't win on the issues or any new ideas, so they can only be grumpy, cranky and attack. Please, let's get this over with so Palin can return to moose hunting and wolf killing in Alaska, and McCain can retire from the Senate and go home to Arizona for a much needed rest.

Scott NYC Independent   October 2nd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Well if you have no platform to run on and no plans for the future stability of the country I guess you have to do what you can. How does that old saying go. Nasty is an ignorant man's only defense.

Patty   October 2nd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

After listening to Mcstupid video of this morning, i come to the conclusion that he must be suing drugs. Nobody in their right mind would admit that Palin has more experience than Obama and Biden put together.

Dutch-VA   October 2nd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

The Low Road Express is at it again.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Tony   October 2nd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN AND HEARD PALIN IN THE FEW INTERVIEWS THE MCCAIN CAMP WILL LET HER HAVE KNOWS THAT MCCAIN IS IN NO POSITION TO CRITICIZE ANYONE ELSE.

HIS STUNG DIDN'T WORK. IT HAS BLOWN UP IN HIS FACE.

HIS CAMPAIGN WILL BE OVER AFTER TONIGHT.

BYE! BYE! JOHNNY! TWO TIME LOSER!

bob in L.A.   October 2nd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

More of McCain's pot trying to call the kettle black.
If this decades long Senator had accomplished anything during his tenure, why isn't he running on that? It seems they find something negative to run everyday, but never give a solution to a problem.
Being a POW does not qualify you for the presidency, but seems it all he has done in 50 years!
Election reform?Hardly! But its another of his hooks to hang his empty hat on.

MCCRYPT HERE IS QUICK REFRESHER OF FAILIN' PALIN'S LATEST LITTLE VERBAL GEM!   October 2nd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Couric the low-life hate filled “gotcha“ journalist, trapped poor, picked upon yet vivacious Palin with a “pop quiz” unfair question, “.Name something specifically you have read to help form your world view?”. Pitiful and helpless Palin’s response was “…blah, blah, blah, ‘all of ‘em‘ blather, blather, blather…”.

Can that be found in fiction or non-fiction?

LLM from MD   October 2nd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

WELL We know PALIN would never say that to a voter—BECAUSE IT WILL BE BE TRUE—HER IQ is that of a moose!!

oooo   October 2nd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

I really like McCain but this is really stupid!!!

sue   October 2nd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Thanks for the laugh McCain! I needed that today.

mitch   October 2nd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

i'm not gonna watch another stoopid ad from mccain that cnn airs for free. i'm certain it's just more lies or attacks. stop playing mccain ads for free ,cnn!

DB   October 2nd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Why are they wasting time and effort on attacking Biden?

It's pretty easy to see who is running the smarter campaign.

Alice   October 2nd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

okay, so now the bar has been lowered for Biden: just don't make a gaffe

(ummm… maybe not so easy . . .)

sbriman200   October 2nd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Have an ambulance standing by. Biden will shed Palin to pieces tonight.

Brian   October 2nd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

This is the same guy who was decrying the media yesterday that Palin's slip-ups were all due to "gotcha journalism."

BOY is the McCain campaign desperate.

Joe Biden is a great man and a great public servant. I think America is willing to tolerate the occasional verbal gaffe from him as opposed to the huge political gaffe the past 8 years have brought… and the bigger gaffe another four years under McCain/Palin will bring!

Obama/Biden '08!!!

Julie in NC   October 2nd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Meh. It's on the web, not on the air. If he gaffes, he gaffes. Apparently his occasional fondness for the taste of shoe leather has not prevented him from being well-liked and well-respected in Delaware and across the country. At least when he does make a verbal mistake, we can be pretty sure that he doesn't make too many mental ones….

Tony   October 2nd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

POOR JOHN!

I GUESS "LIFE JUST ISN'T FAIR."

Alex   October 2nd, 2008 1:59 pm ET

why does McCain always go just a biiit too far? That video w/o the tax thing might have been effective. But he had to ruin it by lying about the $42,000 a year thing, when Biden was asked specifically about those making $250,000 a year.

jubz   October 2nd, 2008 1:59 pm ET

It's a problem if speculation about what they will say starts BEFORE the actual debate. I think they'll have to pull their ads after 1 day of runs – wasted money, bad planning, nothing we want more of.

Tired Elephant   October 2nd, 2008 1:59 pm ET

McCain should look no further than his own and Palin's mouth. Economy is just fine, can't name one other Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade and the list keeps growing.

JD FROM NEW YORK   October 2nd, 2008 1:59 pm ET

I AM SO SICK OF THE MCCAIN/PALIN I COULD PUKE!!!

IDLHilary   October 2nd, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Go to sleep Old man. We are tired of you ads……Your campaign is falling apart. You have no idea of what is going on and you want to implement reckless policies and employ philosphies that will ruin this country. Your VP clearly has no acumen or lacks the intelligence to help u run this country. So please throw in the towel and get the election over with.

ANGIE   October 2nd, 2008 1:59 pm ET

At least Biden doesnt have to fry his brain to answer a simple question or fry his brain to put a sentence together!

Shockey   October 2nd, 2008 1:58 pm ET

The Republicans don't have anything to do but put out stupid ads. Take that money and get McCain and Palin a tutor.

Tony   October 2nd, 2008 1:58 pm ET

NOW THIS IS BOTTOM OF THE BARREL DESPERATION!

HOW MCCAIN COULD EVEN THINK OF TRYING TO POLITICIZE BIDEN AFTER WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SEEN OF PALIN IS COMPLETELY PATHETIC!

HOW ANGRY, BITTER, WHINY AND DESPERATE MCCAIN HAS BECOME. VERY, VERY SAD!
