While most of the country was asleep, one man was ready to take that
3 am text message … John McCain. At 6:06 am ET this morning, Team
McCain sent out its newest television spot, welcoming Joe Biden to the
race — and reminding voters what Biden thought about Barack Obama just
a few months ago:
ANNCR: What does Barack Obama’s running mate say about Barack Obama?
ABC’S GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: You were asked, “Is he ready?” You
said, “I think he can be ready but right now, I don’t believe he is.
The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job
training.”
JOE BIDEN: I think that I stand by the statement.
ANNCR: And what does he say about John McCain?
BIDEN: I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off.
The latter quote comes fromThe Daily Show and answers a Jon Stewart question in 2005. Stewart pressed Biden, who confirmed that he would have felt comfortable as McCain’s running mate.
