Yesterday we ran the embed of Republican Presidential nominee Sen. John McCain’s acceptance speech and this long roundup of news and weblog opinion on it. Now, Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Senator Joe Biden has given his take on the GOP convention.
Biden certainly doesn’t waste any time. He zeroes-in on what the convention left out (echoing comments from some non-convention-going GOPers as well) and addresses the convention’s personal and sarcastic tone (McCain’s speech was not seeped in sarcasm as were some others). But what’s most interesting is you can see here how the Democrats are going to answer McCain’s contention that he is the true agent of change who’ll bring real change to Washington.
The video below also underscores how interesting a Joe Biden-Sarah Palin Vice-Presidential debate is going to be because Biden (like Palin) is no pushover.
