On Sunday’s “Meet The Press,” Delaware Sen. Joe Biden gave an interesting response to what has become the question of the season: Would he like to serve as a vice-presidential candidate?
Biden said that he does not want to be offered the job, but if he were asked, he’d have to accept.
“If the presidential nominee thought I could help him win, am I going to say to the first African-American candidate about to make history in the world that, ‘No, I will not help you out like you want me to?'” Biden said. “Of course I’ll say yes.” [CBS]
On one hand, it’s like, good for him for putting his feelings out there. “Yay, candor!” or whatever. And truth be told, this is why I sorta like this cat.
On the other hand it’s like, this penchant for impolitic logorrhea is exactly why he would be a terrible running mate for Obama. He just coulda dodged and evaded and hedged like a normal politician, but instead he offered up this weird quasi-answer that prompted all sorts of weird speculation.
