1. I didn't and don't think that remark was anything problematic.

4. Remember the debate where Barack came to Joe's defense over that statement?

6. That has no traction. What are minority voters going to vote for McCain now?
LOL

7. Morning Joe is on in your area? MSNBC is running the Olympics in my area.
Morning Joe hasn't been on for 2 weeks...however long the Olympics has been going on.

8. Thanks Joe!
Now racist Democrats can feel comfortable voting for Obama since one of their own is on the ticket...

That's the logic, right Joe? You schmuck.

Remember Joe, no statute of limitations on homicide.

9. Just a wild guess, but I suspect Obama has forgiven that statement.
seeing as he picked him as VP and all.

16. Yes. Obama was asked about it at 1 ofthe debates. Biden-good record on race...
Obama said there is no question, when it comes to race and other similar matters, that Biden is on the right side and has a record supporting it.

Personally, I didn't think Biden meant anything as a criticism. He is known for gaffes, and he just chose his words poorly. To him, those words had nothing to do with race at all. It's just the way those words were perceived by the public, in the current environment.

10. I understand McCain's servants are articulate, and like to clean.

17. Well, that isn't what Biden said, now, is it? But what would be the joke, if you were truthful? nt

11. Funny - Joe and his buddies defended the remark when it first came up
Accused everyone who was offended by it of "playing the race card." Now, suddenly, those comments were offensive to him? Even though Obama obviously set them aside as no big deal?

What a bunch of hypocrites!

18. Low expectations are good.
If they think he's prone to gaffes, that's not necessarily bad. If he does say something inelegant, it's kind of, "Oh, there goes Joe again -- we know he didn't mean that the way he said it." Not necessarily bad.

BUT -- he has very high expectations for debates. That isn't helpful. (The fact that he debates well IS helpful, but it's never great when somebody's built up as superb ahead of time...)

19. Listening to Joe this morning he sounds bitter
cause he knows this is an election winner. He was making up polls about
McCain saying he had 46% and was winning the west and even Chuck Todd corrected him.

20. I'm black, I don't see anything wrong with Bidens statement after getting to know Obama.
