Joe Biden - tearing it up - the clear winner

Categories: Tim O'Connor

Joe Biden got some good debate advice. He is tearing Palin apart and controlling his attitude. He’s also made the good comparison between John McCain and George Bush. He’s also talking about Obama’s plans. Good work, Joe. Oh wait, can I call you Joe?
