9. Plus, if he does say something
Obama can mention that his running mate wants the state she's governor to secede from the union.

11. McCain is completely inept debater
Obama has given him a couple of openings (this and government invented the computer) but he hasn't made fun of them.

4. Remember that the governor controls those types of things senatores have LIMITED
authority over those things.

6. Doesn't matter at all. Biden isn't responsible for STATE laws.
He's a U.S. Senator. Delaware state legislators are responsible for Delaware's loose banking laws. Not Biden.

7. Biden's a U.S. Senator.
He's got nothing to do with Delaware's banking regulations.

10. Plus... it's not true.
There's a bunch of states in a race to the bottom when it comes to banking regs.

25. I don't see that. Credit card companies do need to be regulated.
They are out of control and do do things like that.

24. This is why I always use South Dakota as the example
of a state that lured bottom-feeding credit card issuers. (Sorry, Tom Daschle.)
