MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — The vice presidential nominee you aren't hearing so much about, Democrat Joe Biden, is planning a more prominent role to help validate Barack Obama among white working-class voters and criticize the Republican rival he's long called a friend.
Republican running mate Sarah Palin is soaking up the campaign spotlight with magazine covers and joint rallies with John McCain that draw thousands, while Biden has had a more traditional role of second fiddle to the man at the top of the ticket. But the campaign envisions a new role for its No. 2 in helping make the closing argument against McCain.
Biden privately told reporters traveling with him last week that Palin was a smart political choice who has changed the race but is not prepared to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. The Associated Press is not among Biden's traveling press, but the off-the-record comment Tuesday was described by two people who were there and confirmed by a senior campaign official.

Prominent?
This weasel who invented the term 'Borking' is unfit to fill any office excepting that of sewer cleaner!
Both of these Bozos on this ticket are soiled, failed, socialist idiots!

Biden spokesman David Wade said the Delaware senator will be "Mr. October." Yeah, his diarrhea of the mouth and resultant gaffs with be an absolute October surprise.

Well I was shopping for a new car, which one's me?
A cool convertible or an SUV. .
.
Too bad I didn't know my credit was whacked,
cuz now I'm driving off the lot in a used sub-compact.
.
.
Now instead of lookin' fly and rollin' phat,
my legs are sticking to the vinyl and...
.
.
... my posse's getting laughed at.
.
.
L-O-S-E, that spells "lose," gaffes galore and Chris Matthews...
To: NewMediaFan
He's already outdoing himself. I don't think even Biden could commit more gaffes per utterance than he is right now!

Biden spokesman David Wade said the Delaware senator will be "Mr. October."Translation: We're going to dump him in October.
