We’ve heard the McCain campaign’s rumblings about Joe Biden’s assertion that an international crisis would test the mettle of a new president Obama, desperately trying to make those remarks a salient campaign issue. They’ve gone so far as to hold a conference call with the sole objective of discussing Sen. Biden’s comments to try and make them stick.
Mayor Giuliani, one of the superstar of that conference call, explained that Sen. McCain would not present the same risk that Sen. Biden seems to be worried about. In other words, that the US would get tested by mean, evil, scary thugs only if Obama is elected President. Way to try and bring back the ’04 specters of “if you elect the other guy, your house will be attacked by terrorists.”
Ridiculous assertions aside, if we look back just a few months, one of McCain’s closest advisers seemed to say the same exact thing as Sen. Biden:
Yes! It’s cheerleader-in-chief Joe Lieberman!
Seems like if Connecticut Joe has the same worries about a McCain presidency, the campaign’s latest desperate argument doesn’t make much sense.
