Biden finding his voice again

At a rally here, he appeared to regain some thunder lost to Palin in recent weeks.

At a late-afternoon community meeting, on a grassy field at Linvilla Orchards in Delaware County, the reemergence of Joe Biden continued yesterday.

The Democratic vice presidential candidate, thoroughly overshadowed the last few weeks by his Republican counterpart, Sarah Palin, spoke for nearly 40 minutes to several thousand supporters, many of them union members.

And he carried out his newly defined role with gusto, blasting John McCain time and time again as "profoundly out of touch" with the nation's troubled middle class.

"John McCain could continue to believe what he said recently, that we've made great economic progress in the last eight years," Biden said. "Ladies and gentlemen, I can walk from here back to Wilmington and not run into a single person who thinks we've made great economic progress - unless I ran into John McCain himself."

Earlier in the day, Biden was all over national television, serving as the campaign's spokesman to counter the GOP presidential nominee's views on the troubles of some of the nation's leading financial firms.

"I'd say take a look at who, in fact, has had their hand on the wheel the last eight years," he said in one interview, linking McCain with President Bush. "Take a look at that. . . . Take a look at who got us in this hole. This has been a Republican philosophy of letting Wall Street do what they want and the middle class be damned."......
