Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware, a prominent Democrat who is definitely running for President in 2008, may have blown the election already. Talking to Tim Russert on "Meet the Press" yesterday, he complained that the world "is going to Hades in a handbasket" and that the Senate has more to worry about than passing a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, which he thinks is a phony issue.
Biden didn't blow the election by coming out against the anti-gay-marriage amendment. He blew it by using the name of the ancient Greek god of the underworld for hell, rather than use the word "hell" itself. Biden is a goody-two-shoes Irish Catholic boy at heart (a goody-two-shoes boy who famously plagiarized a term paper in college, but that's a different issue), and someone who's too squeaky clean to even use a mild curse that's been allowed on TV for nearly forty years won't play very well to a Democratic base that uses far stronger language to describe George W. Bush.
(Attention Senator Biden: Sandra Dee is dead. Let her rest in peace.)
