Joe Biden's "Slave State" Background

It's only a matter of time before Joe Biden talks himself right out of the 2008 presidential race. If you've ever heard him give a speech on the Senate floor on C-Span you will notice that the man loves the sound of his own voice. He loves it so much he can't shut himself up once he get's going.

We got an early peek at his fatal rhetorical flaw when he was asked by a reporter whether he could ever get southerners to vote for him. Wouldn't he be viewed as another northeastern liberal?

He basically said he wouldn't have any problem. He almost boasted that he himself was from a "slave state," though I don't remember Delaware being part of the Confederacy. So I guess he thinks that he shares a common bond with southerners. Does that mean a racist heritage?

My God. What a dumb statement. That is the kind of verbosity I see as his fatal tendency to rhetorical hari-kiri.
