I just turned on the TV to watch MSNBC during my late lunch. They were showing a clip of Joe Biden at a town hall meeting in PA. Honest to god, what he said gave me chills. Seriously. I have Tivo so I was able to play it back so I could get it right.  I hope someone caught this on video!

Biden:  "Rick Davis said this election is not about the issues.  And everything I saw at the convention demonstrated that... It was about how well-placed, and boy she is good, how a left jab can be stuck prettty good.  It's about how Barack Obama is such a bad guy.  It's about how, in fact, they got great quips.. Man, they were like the kids.. you know when you went to school and you were very proud of the new belt you had or the shoes you had and there was always one kid in the class who'd say, 'oh is that your brother's?'  Remember that kid?  That's what this reminded me of.  'Oh I love your dress, is that your mother's?'  You know what I'm talkin' about."

<Here it comes>

"What do you talk about when you have nothin' to say? What do you talk about when you cannot explain the last 8 years of failure?  <standing ovation from the crowd>

"What do you talk about?  What do you talk about?  You talk about the other guy.  Look, I don't have to... Remember what Harry Truman said?  No, I wasn't around when Harry Truman was around.  <missed a couple words> someone said "give 'em hell Harry" and he said 'I'm not gonna give 'em hell; I'm gonna tell 'em the truth and they're gonna think it's hell'."
