“We can win North Carolina again!” says Biden… in Virginia

posted at 1:21 pm on August 14, 2012 by Erika Johnsen

Who hasn’t had some sort of rockstar-esque, “Thank you, Cincinnat– er, Denver!” slip-of-the-tongue moment of public-speaking horror, and Vice President Joe Biden was stumping in North Carolina yesterday. And, North Carolina and Virginia are similar in electoral weight, their usually-quite-reddish-but-lately-more-purplish recent histories, and their too-close-to-call swing statuses… but, still: It’s Biden. It’s kind of funny.

“With you, we can win North Carolina again, and if we do, we win the election!”

I think I saw him realize what he said and blanch for just a split second there, but he just decided to roll with it. Heh. Anyway, I merely point this out in light of the recent revelation that Joe Biden and Paul Ryan are going to have to debate one another on the national stage soon, and if this sort of melodramatic, populist silliness is the best defense Joe Biden can offer on the Obama economy…

…then Paul Ryan is going to absolutely obliterate him. [Rubs hand together and laughs gleefully.]

Terry McAuliffe, released a proposal of his own. It calls for eliminating or reducing the business, professional and occupational license tax, the machinery and tool tax, and the merchants’ capital tax.

If y’all heard my howling laughter, y’all would be afraid.

Organizer bus votes count just as much as intense votes. Good thing gubernatorial elections on VA don’t coincide with presidential elections.

As long as the polls are not filled with illegal votes and voters, no democrat should ever be elected again outside of New England and the Pacific coast. The rest of the country is still sane.

Come on, Virginia, man up! Terry will spend all his time raising money for the Democrats.

Every time you have “NBC/Marist Poll” in a headline, I always misread it as “NBC/Marxist Poll”. I think my version is more accurate.

Kenneth Cuccinelli could be a great.

LEVIN loves him some Cooch.

But would he be another Jeff Flake?

He he.. I always read it the same way.. Must be the correlation my brain makes between NBC and Marxists.

I don’t understand the question, Jeff Flake is in Congress. One thing for sure, he won’t be Terry McAuliffe.

As a few details of Cuccinelli’s plan began to leak out last week, his Democratic opponent, Terry McAuliffe, released a proposal of his own. It calls for eliminating or reducing the business, professional and occupational license tax, the machinery and tool tax, and the merchants’ capital tax.

Yes, McAuliffe can (and does) spew BS like an erupting volcano but he’s just another ‘tax and spend’ Marxist.

Thanks for posting. I thought perhaps I was the only one that red it that way.

PS As a Virginia resident, I don’t recall my household being contacted to contribute to an NBC/’Marxist’ poll. Guess I’ll have to express myself at my polling place.

Nothing a truckload of missing ballots won’t fix. Add in a legion of illegal aliens, felons, dead and multiple voters… along with a couple of 100% Mccauliffe distiricts and it’s a landslide.

Terry McAuliffe, released a proposal of his own.

…have his people vote more often!

Just like the dead heat in last night’s drubbing in SC.

Punchenko on May 8, 2013 at 1:44 PM

Wasn’t Romney winning the intensity gap? I will say this Ken Cuccinelli is a hottie, perhaps he should consider some shirtless campaign stops.

libfreeordie on May 8, 2013 at 2:01 PM

I hope that the Republicans learned a lesson from the election of Al Franken and that they like the Democrats have tens of thousands of ballots waiting to be “found” in closets, car trunks and anywhere else they can think of.

Cooch has a face for the ladies (and a few others), and it is not hurting him. Maybe VA can let him go national in 2016.
