Joe Biden announces and immediately puts his foot in his mouth: Biden described Obama as "the first mainstream African American [presidential candidate] who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Is it going to be possible to go 670 approx. days until the election and not have every candidate say something stupid? No, it's not possible. Maybe that's all that will be necessary, the last one that doesn't say idiotic things will be president. You would think though that people who talk for a living would be able to keep a clamp on stupid talk.
