No way Biden makes it through this campaign.
Obama to Have Lunch with Biden Today

President Barack Obama and his mistake-prone vice president, Joe Biden, are having lunch today, a weekly occurrence that takes on far more significance than usual in the wake of controversy surrounding several of Bidenâs recent statements.
While the lunch was probably already scheduled, itâs practically impossible that Bidenâs campaign trail remarks will fail to come up given the clamor they have provoked. There is even a growing chorus of suggestions â mainly from Republicans â that Biden is not up to the job and should be replaced on the ticket.
The session could easily end up a trip to the woodshed for Biden or, though itâs unlikely, something far worse.
Biden this week suggested that Gov. Mitt Romney would put African Americans back chains and, in a separate appearance, indicated that we are all still living in the 20th century. The statements are just the latest in a series of mistakes â assuming the comment about African Americans was unscripted â in the past few months that have raised concerns about Biden.
Most famously, he blurted out on Meet the Press that he favored gay marriage, forcing President Obama to hastily emerge with his own statement of support.
He called Obama âPresident Clinton,â called Romney âPresident Romney,â suggested the Irish drink too much, crossed himself in front of a meeting of over 1,000 conservative rabbis, and paid a visit to Floridaâs âEvergators,â as he put it.
Odder still, he began raving uncontrollably during a speech for no particular reason, fulminating about how his parents âdreamed as much as any rich guy dreams.â
