LOL. Until I read the piece, I had forgotten that Christine O’Donnell existed for any purpose other than to turn on Mike Matthews. But she has seen an opportunity to get her name in the paper what with Joe Biden being a possible running mate to Barack Obama. She laments that with all the national attention lavished upon Delaware in the past weeks, Joe Biden is “neglecting” Delawareans. She notes that Biden will most likely be running for reelection while at the same time either running on an Obama-Biden ticket, or preparing for a spot in President Obama’s cabinet.
She wants Biden to step aside now so that she can face whomever will replace Joe Biden in January:
“In this election, I should be debating my real competition for this job,’’ O’Donnell said. “And the people of Delaware should get the opportunity to cast a vote for the person who is going to fulfill their term. He’s taken Delawareans for granted and using the Senate as a placeholder.’’
I am sure John McCain and all of his fellow Republicans cannot be happy with these comments. For Ms. O’Donnell has conceded the point that Obama will be elected President, which of course means that Joe Biden will either be Vice President or Secretary of State.
