Few men are as silent as Joe Biden. Looks like, unlike Sarah Palin, he is willing to follow the party plan and play nice while Barack Obama campaigns.
Whatever John McCain is, who can say. We know, though, Joe's no maverick. He puts the "Yes sir," in being a yes man.

Barack Obama: Website's opposition to successful surge gets deleted
- Changing his mind?
- Changing his tune?
- Forgetful?
- Or just politicking to a naive voter base?
At YouTube, the poster says:
On May 30, 2008 Obama chief strategist David Axelrod claimed Obama "never disputed" that the surge would reduce violence in Iraq. But in January 2007, when the surge was announced, Obama said no amount of troops would reduce violence and no "expert on the region" or "military officer" disagreed.

Comedian Bernie Mac Makes Raunchy Joke at Obama Campaign Event
Is this the course of Barack Obama's campaign?
Why is his campaign finding supporters who are racist (Wright and Pfleger), anti-religious (Jesse "The Reverend" Jackson) and off-color, (the otherwise funny Bernie Mac)?
Yup. The Mac went low: menopause, sexual infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language.
This was a trendy, $2300 a person event drawing in Chicago's economic elite.

According to the AP story linked above, Barack Obama responded:
"We can't afford to be divided by race. We can't afford to be divided by region or by class and we can't afford to be divided by gender, which by the way, that means, Bernie, you've got to clean up your act next time. This is a family affair. By the way, I'm just messing with you, man."

Jesse Jackson Shows off His Christianity (Not) in Rant Against Obama
The so-called Reverend Jesse Jackson wants to cut off parts of Barack Obama's manhood. This disgraceful side of Jackson, not unfamiliar to Chicagoans, shows us not all of Obama's supporters are good men.
Jackson apologizes, as he should, and rightly noted by various media people is that this will have little impact on Obama's campaign.
