Biden is arrogant and at times an emotional loudmouth/loose cannon.  Plus, he was instrumental in wasting government time & $ in the baseball scandal.  He was all over the news with that one and it goes to poor judgement & spending.  Same with his proposed 1 billion more in aide to Georgia.

McCain has a son that's a Marine that's deployed over in Durkadurkastan.

How exactly is he going to "go" at him?

one of his sons (Jr?) just resigned from his job on the board at a big bank.  which kid is serving?  That's hella admirable, and i'm surprised we don't hear more of that.

Not sure. I read it in an article a while back. McCain doesn't even bring it up.

I just remember that it was 1) the Marines and 2) he's enlisted. I found that interesting since McCain's a retired Navy Captain and his father and grandfather were Vice Admirals. His son could have went to any of the military academies but instead chose to be an enlisted man.

Edited: Here's an NYT article on it, Rob.

Vocal on War, McCain Is Silent on Son’s Service

One evening last July, Senator John McCain of Arizona arrived at the New Hampshire home of Erin Flanagan for sandwiches, chocolate-chip cookies and heartfelt talk about Iraq. They had met at a presidential debate, when she asked the candidates what they would do to bring home American soldiers — soldiers like her brother, who had been killed in action a few months earlier.

Mr. McCain did not bring cameras or a retinue. Instead, he brought his youngest son, James McCain, 19, then a private first class in the Marine Corps about to leave for Iraq. Father and son sat down to hear more about Ms. Flanagan’s brother Michael Cleary, a 24-year-old Army first lieutenant killed by an ambush and roadside bomb.

He would be a fool to pick Clinton.
