While Paul Ryan is leading the charge in the Romney campaign, Joe Biden has made so many mistakes, so many gaffes, that Obama is sending him back to Delaware to keep him out of trouble!
[Daily Caller via Weasal Zippers] Vice President Joe Biden is going home to Delaware.
The updated White House calendar for Aug. 17 reports that “in the morning, the Vice President will meet with senior advisers. Later, the Vice President will be in Wilmington, Delaware.”
“There are no public events scheduled,” said the 5:36 p.m. White House announcement, titled “Daily Guidance for the Vice President.”
Biden’s retreat home during the increasingly frenetic 2012 race comes amid increased criticism for his campaign-trail performance.
Biden was slated to share an uncomfortable lunch with President Barack Obama on Thursday, following his disastrous week on the campaign trail, which culminated with a racially inflammatory warning to African-American supporters that Mitt Romney will “put y’all back in chains.”
Looks like Joe is the one back in chains now.

If I were Pres. Obama, I'd be sweating what will come out of his mouth at the vp debate. We might get "Biden Unhinged!"

This is different from what we'd normally consider Biden's gaffes. Biden has been a successful politician for years, and the Obama campaign needs to get the black vote out. It is important to understand even if Biden is taken off the ticket, this is a deliberate strategy. Think about it. Obama can take advantage of an extremely crass racial message targeted to one demographic, while simultaneously distancing himself from that message, so that the upper middle class whites that are dumb enough to vote for him can comfort themselves with the idea that it was just old crazy uncle Biden who said those awful things.
Of course, we see a different sort of political theater with Paul Ryan pretending to bring some conservative credibility to the Republican ticket. Well, it is different, but it is still theater. I can't seriously consider voting for someone who voted for the bailouts. They've all broken their oaths of office; they are traitors. Well, I guess technically Romney isn't a traitor yet, but he sure seems enthusiastic about violating the constitution in a myriad of ways too.

Biden vs Ryan.
Biden: apologetic Catholic.
Ryan: Catholic apologist and unapologetically Catholic.
Biden: Catholic Quisling (along with Pelosi and Sebelius).
Ryan: Faithful Catholic.
If I was a Catholic American, I know who I'd want as VP.
