Joe Biden was all about sports metaphors today, bragging to voters that Barack Obama has won the first two presidential debates and that he bested Republican rival Sarah Palin in their only face-off last week.
"If this were a best of five series, it'd be over," Biden said in Tampa, Fla.
While McCain during the town hall in Nashville went for a second 90-minute debate without mentioning the middle class, Obama again showed his calm command of what the country needs, Biden said.
That's what voters want, he said, "not an angry man lurching from one position to another" or "unbecoming personal attacks" on Obama.
"You didn't hear one single average person ask about that," Biden said.
He said that McCain's campaign is raising ugly fears with the veiled question of who the real Obama is. Palin, in particular, is raising "outrageous inferences" about Obama.
"This is beyond disappointing," Biden said. "This is wrong."
Biden urged voters not to be distracted by the attacks, saying that McCain is taking the "low road" because he's part and parcel of President Bush's failed policies.
When you vote with Bush 95 percent of the time, it's not surprising that nearly all of McCain's ads are negative, Biden said.
Reeling off a one liner, he declared, "You can't be a maverick if all you've ever been is a sidekick."
