Nashua, N.H. - Vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden told a campaign stop crowd that Hillary Clinton is "easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me."
A McCain staffer was quick to point out that Biden's referring to Clinton as "it" minimized the compliment, but others say Biden's comment illustrates the candidate's growing fear he may be replaced on the ticket.
Our sources tell us that Biden is feeling insecure since learning of confidential test polls done within the Obama campaign evaluating his popularity against possible alternatives that could more effectively counter the Republican's Gov. Sarah Palin. Scooter's Report has obtained the confidential poll results:
Vice presidential nominees, in order of popularity:
1. Sen. Hillary Clinton
2. Al Gore
3. David Hasselhoff
4. That sales guy in the "ShamWow" commercial
5. A Cocker Spaniel
6. Dead ringtail lemur
7. HP 5650 inkjet printer
8. Sen. Joe Biden
9. Bicycle seat
10. Ball of lint
My comment: I guess Biden has reason to be somewhat insecure, but he's still light-years ahead of a ball of lint, and that should give him a certain amount of comfort.

This is supposed to be humor, supposed to be, got it?
I really liked the bicycle seat. It would give Barack a place to rest after a hard day of
mis statements then having to later deny them.

Name-calling is a form of ad hominem attack that draws a vague equivalence between a concept and a person, group or idea. By linking the person or idea being attacked to a negative symbol, the propagandist hopes that the audience will reject the person or the idea on the basis of the symbol, instead of looking at the available evidence.
The Institute for Propaganda Analysis (IPA), one of the first organizations to systematically study propaganda in the early 20th century, included name-calling in its list of common rhetorical techniques. "Bad names have played a tremendously powerful role in the history of the world and in our own individual development," they stated. "They have ruined reputations, stirred men and women to outstanding accomplishments, sent others to prison cells, and made men mad enough to enter battle and slaughter their fellowmen. They have been and are applied to other people, groups, gangs, tribes, colleges, political parties, neighborhoods, states, sections of the country, nations, and races."
Currently, Obama leads by 3.3% in N.H.
And if you've been checking the electoral maps daily, you will see that McCain has made huge gains. As of today, the race is Obama with 217, McCain with 216... a 1 point difference, and there are quite a few states up for grabs. Ohio has McCain leading by 1.8%.... if he gets those 20 electoral votes, he almost certainly wins.
If this trend continues, McCain will be our next president.
Why do you hate America so much?

Hey, if you think about it (as if), that's pretty darn good in a state that's predominantly Democratic!!
They accuse Conservatives of "name calling," hoping that it will make them feel self-conscious and stop. Then the Democrats are free to do all the name calling they want without fear of the Republicans doing any of their own..........
narcotics as her hero Rush Blimplaw.
Vickey obviously has her facts reversed. The CONS would like to
make the 'Choice' for all Americans on most things having to do with their own personal lives.
CONS think they're so perfect that they can dictate morality to all.
Why don't we put Sen. Craig in charge of the 'Morality Dictation Cabinet'.
After all, Sen. Craig knows more about how a dictates than most CONS do.
Lets put Scooter Libby in charge of the 'Justice Dept'.
Sarah Failin's daughter can be a special adviser on the 'Abstinence Is Best/Just Say No' campaign.
And for kicks, lets put Neil Bush in charge of Treasury.
With advice from Shrub, I'm sure this failed CON man can ruin our economy even more.
St. Rudy of 9/11 can be Sarah Failin's speech coach.
Hopefully by the time McSame kicks the bucket she will have learned how to
speak a little better than Mr. Nuculur himself.
Delete this you RON.
As for name calling and negative imagery, I give your Racist A** Icon a 1,000 pts.
Keep up the good job of making you and your cohorts look like racist PIGS (oops, there's that word again, please don't delete me for using your favorite word other than the N word).
