With Video - McCain Immediately Releases Ad On Biden Joining Ticket
Well, that didn’t take long. But then, in this presidential campaign, nothing ever does, save that blasted Obama text message.
But no sooner did the text message hit the nation’s in-boxes did the McCain campaign have a statement–and an attack ad–ready for launch.
Here is the statement from McCain spokesman Ben Porritt:
“There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama’s lack of experience than Joe Biden. Biden has denounced Barack Obama’s poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing — that Barack Obama is not ready to be President.”
Considering the fact that Biden, a Delaware Democrat, competed against Obama and several others for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, it wasn’t going to take opponents long to recall the most critical words that Biden had uttered about the frontrunner in the primaries.
And Biden is not one to mince words. (Nor are these all the words that Biden has had to say about Obama.)
McCain’s campaign is ready with a TV ad that it says will air in “key states” as the Democratics prepare for their nominating convention starting Monday.
The ad replays a piece of a debate moderated by ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, shown asking Biden about a previous statement about Obama’s readiness to lead: “You were asked, “Is he ready?” You said, “I think he can be ready but right now, I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”
“I think that I stand by the statement,” said Biden, and the ad cuts to an emotionless Obama. It also closes with some tape of Biden saying something about McCain: “I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off.”
Now, Biden may be quick to retort that his comment about Obama’s readiness was voiced on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos in August 2007 — and they were heading into a primary campaign in which Daemocratic rivas were attempting to pierce the advantage that Obama and Hillary Clinton had. And, he could say, today, that Obama has learned a lot since August of 2007.
That debate, however, will not play out in a 30-second spot — unless the Obama campaign returns fire this weekend.
This question of readiness to lead is something which the McCain campaign has been aggressively posing of Obama. McCain’s campaign ads have flatly declared Obama “not ready to lead.” The selection of a running mate such as Biden clearly is meant to shore up Obama’s own lack of experience on the world stage - Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has decades of it.
And then along come Biden’s own words, courtesy of the McCain campaign.
Biden, while campaigning in Iowa and elsewhere, frequently spoke of the need for a candidate to pass “the commander-in-chief test” before domestic issues could be considered. And he blasted Obama for failing to hold hearings on Afghanistan while chairing a Foreign Relations subcommittee.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

August 23rd, 2008 at 8:35 amSo…. Obama/Biden was OUR ‘3AM phone call’.
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:41 amHmmm…..
I can’t wait till Barry receives news of his defeat via sms in Nov. Then he can forward onto Biden as well, and as a sign of “bipartisanship” let’s give Willy the honors of sending the alert.

August 23rd, 2008 at 9:05 amBambi’s “manhood” never looked so offended or challenged! Bwahahaha!
All McCain has to do now is select either Eric Cantor or Gen. Petraeus and this election is over.
Four or eight years of McCain, followed by eight years of Cantor, followed by eight years of Jindael. Yeah, I can handle that.
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:06 amThe Obama/Biden ticket is a dream ticket for McCain. I can’t think of two more selfcentered, emptyheaded clowns to have as targets. They’ll provide all the ammo you need to shoot them full of holes. Everything for Biden telling the big O that he’s unqualified to his you need an accent to work at a 7-11 comment. Obama with his above my paygrade stuff has provided all the material you need. Senators don’t make good pres candidates becaue of thier egos and inablilty to take a real position on anything.
” McCain don’t blow this! The Dems have handed you the election on a silver platter, take it! “
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:49 am“The Obama/Biden ticket is a dream ticket for McCain.” I 100% agree. Just by making this knuckleheaded choice alone, Obama has proven himself unfit for command. I won’t repeat all the reasons why because everyone’s said them already, but MAN this was a dumb move for Obama.
But good news for McCain IF he doesn’t blow it somehow.
August 23rd, 2008 at 10:06 amMaybe just maybe Obama knows he’s going to lose and needs someone to blame.
August 23rd, 2008 at 11:59 amThat ad is BLISTERING with TRUTH! and needs to be played relentlessly till Nov.!!
I watched the announcement live today n CSPAM and I have never heard anything so negative in my life…bunch of whiners. If McCain attacks and stays as positive and approachable as he was during Saddleback “debate” he will win in a landslide.
20% of Clintonistas already say will vote McCain and another 27% undecided…
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:59 pmIn the words of Andrew Dice Clay…Oh!!!
