TAMPA, Fla. - Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden called Republican John McCain an angry man making ugly attacks against the Democratic ticket to cover up his support for President Bush.
"You can't call yourself a maverick when all you've ever been is a sidekick," Biden said Wednesday of McCain. He credited Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey with first using the line.
Biden's attacks came during an appearance at the University of South Florida's Sun Dome, in the heart of the Tampa Bay area where the two tickets are in a tight race. Thousands waited in a line that wrapped along the Sun Dome basketball arena for a chance to hear Barack Obama's running mate.
Biden plans to continue this aggressive stance toward the Republican presidential candidate through Election Day, said his spokesman David Wade. Wade said Biden would be Obama's "defender in chief."
Biden argued that he and Obama have won all three debates so far. He said Tuesday night's town hall debate between the two at the top of the ticket, where voters asked most of the questions, showed "what a majority of American people are looking for - a steady hand, leadership, an optimist; not an angry man, lurching from one position to another.".........
