Has the election already taken place? No? Then somebody should tell Vogue. They’ve already declared Joe Biden as vice president.
A headline on the cover and for the corresponding feature story reads, “All the Vice President’s Women," referring to what the style magazine calls “four generations of Biden beauties.”
I agree the Biden women are beauties; I disagree Joe Biden is vice president (picture courtesy Vogue).
Biden may be vice president according to Vogue, but reporter Jonathan Van Meter inserts an Obama-Biden talking point anyway into the story, claiming that the Bidens “are about as typical a middle-class American family as they come.”
Few, if any, middle class families can afford to run for local office, much less national office. Yet the reporter insists the Bidens are just like everybody else.
“They may live in a big house in a fancy neighborhood, but, as evidenced by ten years of recently released tax returns, they are mortgaged to the hilt and have no savings – just like the rest of the country.”
Right, people in the middle class live in big houses in fancy neighborhoods. Calling the Bidens middle class is a stretch by any economical scale, but doing so to pull voters his way wasn’t really necessary; Vogue’s already appointed him vice president.

October 18, 2008 - 21:15 ET by mostlymoderateWe're screwed. The entire mass media is in bed with Obama & Co. I don't know what we can do about it but we seem to be screwed if McCain does not win. Obama will be free to do anything he wants because the media will not report anything negative about him
Please vote. Please vote!
Economy in trouble, credit
October 18, 2008 - 21:28 ET by GregEEconomy in trouble, credit markets frozen, McCain being linked as 4 more Bush years...........
...........Obama should be up 25%. Just like after those heavenly Clinton years (they say), Gore should have been up 25% and easily trounced Bush in 2000. Both Obama and Gore not only have/had previous-to-their-election administrations that should have made them easy winners, they also have/had a media that adores them and promotes them in every way possible.
Put all that together, and Obama should be up 25%, but he's not. Why? Because America is not a Leftist nation. If the media was objective, Gore would have lost in a landslide, and Obama would be down 25% right now. The MSM is basically a free ad machine for the Democrat party, doing enough to keep them afloat in elections where they otherwise have no chance, by giving voters who really don't pay much attention just enough to ensure that the liberal candidate is viewed as the golden child.
Nightmare Scenario
October 18, 2008 - 21:21 ET by BarkerIf Obama wins the Presidency he will be impeached in short order; which means Biden would become President......which means Nancy Pelosi would be a heartbeat (or brainbeat) away from the Presidency....which means.......oh to hell with it......

It's unfortunate that our news media has become what it has in recent years.

I am burnt out tonight from all of this last week politically, but we have to keep some kind of a fire burning...not smoldering...burning with a rage against these filthy enemies within.

October 18, 2008 - 23:59 ET by LiberalliesTom,
That's exactly! how the media wants you to feel! that's exactly how how Liberals want you to feel!!
Keep the fire burning....don't let these reports put you down. You know, back in 2000 the media had Al Gore winning, remember that in 2004 they had Kerry winning at 6pm voting day! remember?!
don't forget what they did to Joe! this is our call, this our time, this is what we must do! VOTE!! and remember....
I AM JOE!

Who ARE These People?
October 18, 2008 - 23:53 ET by JoelCTThere are 11 females in that picture. Who ARE these people? Will someone please read that sappy story (I can't get past the first couple of paragraphs) and tell me who they are?
Joe's daughter from his first marriage died with his wife in the car accident. He has two sons who survived.
Joe has one child, a daughter, from the second marriage to Jill.
Besides Jill and an older woman who is a mother-in-law of either Jill or Joe (I assume), I see five adult women and four female children.
All I can say is, HUH?

October 19, 2008 - 00:32 ET by MazziSince when do we expect the truth from libs? These are probably just random neighbors (I don't expect they have any blacks or anything in his neighborhood, do you?)
Having lived in "exclusive" areas around DC my whole life (Georgetown, The Watergate, Foxhall and Chevy Chase), I would be interested to know the demographics of "Plugs" Biden's neighborhood.
If he's like most of the old-guy politicians I know of, the only blacks in his neighborhood are the ones in black-tie passing out the drinks during the cocktail parties.

A POR regime will make sure that the Biden extened family will be living together and renting their vacated homes with those middle class tax cuts (sarc) hikes coming.
