Bill Clinton Is Obama's Real Running Mate, Says Romney Spokesman

[DonViejo]

“He's arguably more important to them than Joe Biden because Joe Biden makes a mistake at every single event he goes to.”

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — How does the Romney campaign know President Obama is nervous about losing Pennsylvania? He's sending Bill Clinton — not his gaffe-prone running-mate — to blitz the state on the eve of the election.

Talking to reporters Sunday night, senior Romney adviser Kevin Madden mocked the vice president, and said the Obama campaign was relying on Clinton to do the heavy lifting while Biden bumbled his way through the final days of the race.

"They're sending arguably their number one surrogate, their number two principal, President Bill Clinton, to campaign all day in Pennsylvania," Madden said. "He's arguably more important to them than Joe Biden because Joe Biden makes a mistake at every single event he goes to."

Pressed on whether he believed the Obama campaign views Clinton as a more valuable asset than number two on the ticket, Madden didn't back down.

"I think that's very clear," he said. "They would rather have him out on the stump making news than Vice President Biden out there making the wrong kind of news."

1. Like that one gaffe

When he absolutely destroyed Ryan at the debate? Is that what they're talking about?

7. !!

13. Spot on!

[reflection]

22. yeah, he gaffed Ryan

like Ahab would a whale. Mercilessly and with extreme prejudice. Also, I'm not sure I'd be taking potshots at vice presidents if my guy was caught looking like this:

[Dem2TheCore]

24. Bwahahaha!

Exactly! Ryan isn't exactly gaffe free either -- those ridiculous boy band gym pictures, sub 3 hour marathon, washing clean dishes, etc. -- but there is a huge difference.

Ryan's gaffes make him look like an idiot.

Joe's gaffes tend to make him look honest, genuine, and middle class (or what the middle class used to be).

[reflection]

27. Joe gaffes make him drop his pretense and look like an Everyman.

Ryan's gaffes make him look like a boy trying on his father's oversized dress shoes. Like he's always trying to prove something.

2. Whiner is just cryin' because Dumbya would be NO HELP to Money Boo Boo...

...but hey, Dumbya did stump down in the Caymans!!!!!

[SDjack]

20. Rmoney has convinced Donnie Trump to disappear until after the election. nt

[MADem]

25. Mark Cuban called him out...we'll see if he can resist!

Offered cash on the barrel if he'd shave that squirrel off his head!

The offer has since been made fun of by the president himself, with Cuban joining in on the fun. Cuban calls Trump's offer to Obama “one of the dumbest things” while appearing on Dallas Fox 4 News. After voicing his opinion, Cuban created his own offer to Trump saying if Trump shaves his head he will donate $1 million to the charity of his choice.

He addresses The Celebrity Apprentice creator saying "Donald, you shave your head, $1 million to any charity you want.”

He even added he would make it $2 million to seal the deal, TMZ reports.

4. sour grapes boo fucking hoo

[faithfulcitizen]

5. waaaaaa waaaaaa, someone find that man his binky.

[Renew Deal]

6. I can live with that.

And they've been hiding Ryan at Deep South fundraisers.

[skeewee08]

8. That's just Malarkey....

[ywcachieve]

9. VP Biden has been labled something he is not,

by the media. I for one, do not appreciate it. Our VP Biden is fantastic.

[geek tragedy]

10. Bullshit mountain just keeps on a rumbling. nt

[Arkana]

11. Oh, well, if the Romney people said it it must be true.

Pack it in, folks. We've lost.

[demhottie]

12. But Biden still handed Ryan his ass at the debate

[rurallib]

14. Why don't they counter with George W????

Prove that the people really love him! That the media was biased!

[Jennicut]

15. Right, after Joe destroyed little Paul Ryan at the VP debate.

Desperation smells nice on Repubs.

And Bill Clinton would just laugh.

[Democat]

16. Is that supposed to be an insult?

Bill Clinton is one of the most popular politicians in America.

[union_maid]

19. Yes, I was going to say...

that would hurt Obama how? Biden's gaffes, however, have not been important. They're mostly slips of the toungue, unlike Romney, who when he says what he means - that's a gaffe.

[PsychProfessor]

17. Bwahahahahaha!

Oh that smarts! Ouch, oh dear!! OMG, the thing is that the Republicans have no analogue to Clinton. With Bush in hiding, they have no schema for what Clinton has been to the Obama campaign. He has not been a running mate. We have a fantastic running mate already, that's Vice President Joe Biden. There has not been a moment in this campaign when it was not clear to everyone that President Obama chose wisely when he chose Joe Biden as his running mate.

What President Bill Clinton is in this election is an elder statesmen of our party, a man who reminds all Americans of a marvelous time in our history: a time of peace and prosperity, a man who reminds us as well of the horrors of a republican party run amok. He is a cogent and dynamic speaker and a preternaturally gifted politician.

Keep whining republicans, it sucks to be you.

[onecent]

18. If anyone can name ONE politician that has not made a "gaffe" or 2 or 3 or

more...than bully for them.

At least when Biden makes a gaffe...he isn't hiding behind some lies and TELLING voters what they WANT TO HEAR. That man is a genuine man who I AM HONORED to have as my Vice President. He's sincere, truthful, passionate and LOVES his country as well as loving 100% of the American population...(not JUST 47%)

And....AT LEAST we can find a REAL past president that can stand up to his record and support Obama and Biden on theirs.....Cannot say the same for Romney unless he has the balls to march out "BUSH" the most hatest president in history. ha

I love it...must bother them alot for Obama to have 2 running mates..and a beautiful, intelligent and wonderful wife....which makes it 3 running mates.

Go Obama!!!!!!

26. And why isn't Bush out there campaigning for Romney?

Oh wait...

No wait he was such a failure that he is toxic right now.
