The McCain campaign is already out with a tough new spot hitting Joe Biden, Obama's new running mate, and airing quotes from the primary where Biden questioned Obama's readiness to lead:
The ad, which will run in "key states," quotes a moderator during a Dem primary debate reading Biden his own earlier quotes, including one where he opined that Obama wasn't yet ready for the presidency and added that "the presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training."
"I stand by that statement," Biden said. Then the ad twists the knife by airing this Biden quote about McCain:
"I would be honored to run with or against John McCain because I think the country would be better off."
The quote about McCain comes from a Biden appearance on The Daily Show in August 2005. That such quotes would reappear was always a danger of choosing one of the people Obama ran against, though people mostly focused on Hillary's quotes in this regard.
To our knowledge, though, Biden was the only one of Obama's leading primary opponents who's actually said he'd be willing to run with McCain. We'll be hearing a lot of this quote, obviously
