Even before Mr Obama confirmed his selection this morning, McCain campaign spokesman Ben Porritt said: 'There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama's lack of experience than Joe Biden.
'Biden has denounced Barack Obama's poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realising - that Barack Obama is not ready to be president.' Obama Names 'Gaffe-Prone' Joe Biden as His Running Mate in Presidential Elections >>> | August 23, 2008
