And meanwhile, that other veep...

Joe Biden gave a good, tough speech in Michigan today. For example:


"The campaign a person runs tells everything about the way they'll govern," Biden said. "The McCain-Palin campaign decided to bet the house on the politics perfected by Karl Rove. Those tactics may be good at squeaking by in an election, but they are very bad if you want to lead one nation, indivisible."

Of course, even Rove said yesterday that McCain's ads didn't pass the smell test.

Biden also talked substance in the speech. And knew what he was talking about.
