Joe Biden has said in public he disagrees with Barack Obama for running the “Old John McCain is computer illiterate” ad a couple of weeks back.
I agree in that I thought it was a dumb ad, and risked backfiring with older voters who do, after all, vote in higher percentages than 40-somethings. In other words, in terms of political tactics, it was stupid. It also wasn’t 100 percent accurate.
But, I disagree with Biden in another way. Veep candidates simply aren’t supposed to publicly step out of line with their bosses like that. I don’t know what else this portends, but Uncle Obama, in terms of campaign management, might want to give Sen. MBNA a brief walk to the woodshed.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
