Biden: McCain is a sidekick, not a maverick
10:57 AM CDT on Wednesday, October 8, 2008
TAMPA, Fla.—Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden says Republican John McCain isn’t a maverick, but President Bush’s sidekick.
Barack Obama’s running mate ridiculed McCain during an appearance at the University of South Florida on Wednesday.
He said McCain is “an angry man, lurching from one position to another” and making ugly attacks against Obama instead of offering solutions to a troubled country.
The Delaware senator said McCain is trying to distract voters from his support for President Bush’s policies. He repeated Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey’s line, “You can’t call yourself a maverick when all you’ve ever been is a sidekick.”
