Stand up, Chuck!!!

Joe Biden will deliver a high-profile first attack in a sustained anti-McCain offensive in a speech called "Bush 44" Monday in the key battleground state of Michigan.
While the lines of attack have long been drawn, Biden will assert — as the title indicates — that a McCain presidency would amount to a third Bush term and will focus, in a detailed, comprehensive and aggressive way, on John McCain's domestic policies and harsh campaign tactics, a campaign aide told Politico.
Biden will deliver the speech in St. Clair Shores, Mich., in Macomb County, the area whose voters inspired Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg to coin the term “Reagan Democrats.” The RealClearPolitics polling average shows Barack Obama with a 2-point lead in Michigan, which Democrats won by slim margins in the last two elections.
The speech is touted as matching the aggressive new strategy the Obama campaign has promised to unleash in the remaining days of the campaign to counter the recent poll gains of McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Biden until now has received considerably less media attention than Palin, in part because his speeches have seemed more intended to appeal to crowds than to make news, and Monday's speech seems to be intended to integrate him more into the broader campaign strategy and to use him as a super-surrogate to take high-profile hits at McCain.

I didn’t know Bush was running..
“Biden until now has received considerably less media attention than Palin, in part because...”
...he’s boring and nobody likes him.
who is this joe biden character?
If it were Palin about Obama, the title would be:
“Palin to attempt a....”
They have been yapping about this “McCain would be the third Bush term” for about a month now and all that has happened is that McCain’s numbers continue to rise. I can only assume the theme was popular among leftist focus groups. It doesn’t seem to be doing much for anybody else.
“his speeches have seemed more intended to appeal to crowds than to make news”
So they’ve noticed the eerie silence whenever Palin steps up to the podium, too.
When’s he dropping out due to “health reasons” so that Hillary can take his place? This weekend?
Who’s going to cover Biden’s speech? His press plane is 75% empty and the even the NYT and the WASH Post aren’t on it.
Maybe Biden can tell McCain to hold his arms in the air and try to use a computer keyboard.
now does this officially mean that:
Biden is running against McCain?
and
Obama is funning against Palin?
The attacks and aggression have been non-stop!
Whatever else McCain is, he is NOT a carbon copy of GWB. That is both good and bad, but it means an attack like this is likely to thrill the base and leave the mushy middle cold.
In politics, as in humor, a connection to the truth is critical.
Even tough I am no fan of Bush at all , Maybe voters prefer
a third Bush Term to Obama’s second Jimmy carter term.
Hope they serve lots of coffee during his speech.
Excellent point. When has Team Obama/MSM stopped attaching McCain/Palin?
1) How many months did the media let biden/obama get away with saying McCain was ok with the war going on for 100 years in Iraq?
2) When will the media report on biden’s cheap charity contributions over the years? $300 to $900 per year charity contributions on income of over $300,000 most years?
Stand up, Chuck!!!
It certainly is odd that it is taking so long to "integrate" Senator Biden into Senator Obama's campaign.
In looking at the official online campaign store, there still seem to be markedly few goods that bear Senator Biden's name.
They’ll jump start the speech with free bratwurst and a rock band.
“Biden until now has received considerably less media attention than Palin, in part because his speeches have seemed more intended to appeal to crowds than to make news”
What news???
McCain = Bush?
Wow, haven’t heard that one before.
Who is this Biden person?
Does anybody know him? Has he ever run anything? What is he campPalin’ for?
That phrase makes absolutely no sense.
Stand Up Chuck!
In reality, the teleprompter will be doing the attacking, all Biden needs to do is read it right...
The gaffemaster that keeps on giving.
From campaign spot at NRO.
“No need for a Saturday Night Live sketch; the man parodies himself:
When telling the story of how his granddaughters had a slumber party with Barack Obama’s daughters during the week of the Democratic National Convention, Biden equated it to what he says Americans want.
“I believe that’s a metaphor, a metaphor for what the country is looking for. They’re looking for a sleepover with people they like!”
Crowd: "I'm not exactly sure who you are..."
And who will be listening?
wWord is that the big ZERO will drop out when his numbers drop below 40. Hillary to the rescue.
Maybe during his attack on McCain, he will also attack drunken truck drivers, like the one that killed his wife and infant daughter.
Oops,sorry.....the truck driver had not been drinking nor was he speeding.
The state prosecutor at the time recently stated that charges would have been made had there been anything to charge.
Why would he lie about a personal tragedy? To get the MADD vote?
Man, they are in trouble. Michigan should already be in the bag for them.
"Senator John McCain is here. Stand up John. Wave your hand above your head so everyone can see you"
I’ve noticed Sarah’s audience, smiling, attentive, alive....and then “Stand Up Chuck’s”.....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Poor Joe: smothered by bigger stories.
Joe Biden speaking....
What could possibly go wrong?
"McCain is Bush!"
let’s hope he steps on his dick.
...and the text will immediately be loaded into the Karaoke Media Machine so all the Drive-By's can sing along. It is only 'high profile' because the media says it will be.

That tricky BHO gang, they are trying to get everyone to watch Snooze Biden while they attack McCain’s flank...
this is the week that the BO campaign goes from farce to insane....McCain/Palin only need to gain another 3-5 points and they will have 300+ EVs.
Biden...biden...biden...Hmmm. You know, that name sounds familiar but I just can remember from where. Is he someone I used to go to school with, maybe?
Biden is hard to listen & worth avoiding. A mean and bitter man. A poison pill
What a truly sorry way to go through life.
NOTE FOLKS: OBAMA IS NOW TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS AWAY FROM THE CONSERVATIVE.
OBAMA COULD NOT GET THE CONVERSATION OFF PALIN SO NOW HE HAS TO CALL FOR BACK UP.
“I’d like to mention that John McCain is here tonight.
Type something out for us John.
Oh, gosh look at me.
God luv ya John.
Look ya’ve got everyone typing for ya.
Hey everyone, let’s all type for John McCain.
Can ya tell I’m new at this?”
Biden...the South end of a North bound mule.
...BTW, no disrespect intended for Sen. McCain whatsoever!
the rise and fall of the left wing messiah, Obama.
