Teaming up with the Clintons

Senator Joe Biden campaigned today in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania with both former President Bill Clinton, and former first lady/ presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. Biden really managed to excite the crowd with his remarks about how the american public should "get up" from these severe economic blows and deliver his ticket the presidency. Bill and Hillary Clinton joined him at this rally pointing out the similarities of Bush and McCain, and stressing the value of Joe Biden on the ticket. Bill Clinton stated that Joe Biden "is one of those members who knows the most about the economic, political and security challenges of America." 

Over the last few days Senator Joe Biden traveled through Missouri in a four stop tour of the state, consisting of rallies in St. Joseph, Liberty, and Jefferson City, and Springfield. Earlier in the week Biden returned to the campaign trail in Southern Florida, holding rallies in Tampa and Ft. Meyers. 

On a slightly more playful note, cnet.com technology news has been polling their readers asking what "technology product" each candidate is most comparable to. The majority of the pollers agree that Joe Biden is most similar to Wikipedia! (Lots of info, but not always right)

Bipartisanship is fine (shoutout to Lieberman, check out our blog guys), but Bill Clinton is beginning to be so ambigious about who he is planning to support I feel he is trying to have the best of both worlds for future political gain.

For example, you can appreciate baseball, you can execute plays used by every team, but you can't be a player for the Yankees and the Red Sox at the same time.

although, Hillary is raising a lot of public support and funding for the Democratic party campaign

The best part of that cnet.com poll was that Sarah Palin's technology product was a Hello Kitty Assault Rifle.

I think that between the way Palin speaks, and the constant reminders from the Democratic Party, the connection between McCain and Bush, which McCain has been trying so hard to avoid, is being drawn. If this connection continues to strengthen, it WILL be the end for the McCain campaign.
