Lacking Experience?

No! Not Joe Biden, he’s got more experience than math has numbers. It’s his running mate, who even he has expressed concerns about.

Joe Biden has been on record stating that Barack Obama doesn’t have the experience necessary to become the President. With his most recent ad John McCain clearly will begin to make this a focal point of the campaign. Obama is going to have to work unbelievably hard to dispel this belief that apparently even his running mate agreed with McCain on this one.

Now one could argue that Biden made the statement trying to defeat Obama in a heated primary, that’s certainly true…but he still made the …
