LYNCHBURG, Va. Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday referred to Virginia Senate hopeful Tim Kaine as "Tom Kaine," prompting a derisive response from Mitt Romney's campaign.

At a rally in Lynchburg, Biden said of the former Virginia governor and Democratic National Committee chairman: "There is a decent, honorable man. That man has more integrity in his little finger than most have in their whole body. I'm a big Tom Kaine fan. I'm a big Tom Kaine fan."

Romney campaign spokesman Ryan Williams said in a statement: "Vice President Biden forgot the name of his own Virginia Democratic Senate nominee, and he wants voters to forget about President Obama's failed economic policies and lack of a real agenda for a second term."

The village idiot... a heartbeat from being President... that is one Halloween scare... Doesn't know Iowa and Ohio, doesn't know key polticians names.... likely doesn't know his own if it weren't sewn into his sleeve.

Moron.........

It's only a different vowel after all, like between Romney's flips and flops. I wonder why I'm more concerned by the latter.

[-EmpireGeorge________-]

and to think.....Biden is one-heartbeat away from being PRESIDENT !!!

That ought to make you think twice about putting someone, who can't even control his own mouth, let alone a nation on the verge of collapse, due to One Big A$$ Mistake Already.

How childish we have become ? These guys travel days & nights, talk to thousands of people, give hundreds of speeches, respond to unending lies and distortions and we waste our energies criticizing them for calling Tim by another name Tom. We are way beyond the limit of stupidity.

That might fly, if it wasn't one of a thousand examples of the McSenile Biden, unable to speak without effing up simple names, places or issues.

That simply demonstrates how little genuineness is in the Democratic Party. They can't even recall the simplest thing......like the name of the local guy they want to transfer support from.

VA is going to go to Romney.

"Joe, Joe,....Joe LOVE"...."Come here Joe... are you OK Joe???

So? Biden is at his best when he 'flubs'.

[-EmpireGeorge________-]

Yeah, and America pays the price for having such an embarassment for a vice president.

[abbe91]

At least he didn't get drunk and shoot somebody in the face.

Biden is a joke, however what he said to Trone Woods, father of one of the 4 fallen Americans in Libya is a disgrace. If you want to hear this and more go to the FOX News website.

[mmrosshotmail]

I did listen to Trone woods Father describe his feelings about what happened to those 4 fallen AMERICANS, and how he was told about the HEROIC actions that his son took, before he was killed....And..when Mr Woods said how unfeeling obama was when he said "sorry"...obama did NOT look him in the eye, he looked over his "shoulder"...He described obamas "sorry", as.. like a little kid WHO was TOLD to say sorry...Mr Woods also said "that the WH murdered his son"....DISGUSTING....Notice how when obama describes what "happened" there, he refers them as "folks", "killers"...anything but "TERRORISTS"..

This is not newsworthy. Talk to us about Benghazi.
