ABC News' Matthew Jaffe reports: Sen. Barack Obama's, D-Ill., vice presidential nominee, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., Wednesday said that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., might have been a better pick for the position than him.

At a rally in Nashua, N.H., a man in the audience told Biden how glad he was that Obama picked him over Hillary, "not because she's a woman, but because, look at the things she did in the past."

"Make no mistake about this," Biden responded. "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight."

Spokesman Ben Porritt offered this response from the McCain camp: "Barack Obama’s most important decision of this election, and Biden -- the candidate he selects -- suggests, himself, that he wasn’t the right man for the job, and that Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice. Biden certainly has a credible viewpoint on this."

that is what democrats do best.

They only know how to make excuses for their own ineptness and would rather the republicans run the country.

They can't.

All they are good at is whining and complaining.

They got us into Vietnam, and they couldn't get us out of it. Ike, Kennedy and LBJ.

The republicans did and the democrats have learned how to express their envy and jealously of competence wholesale.

no one else retails such hypocrisy.

The democrats are blessed with their delusions and those same delusions keep them in the dark.

Hopefully enough voters take Bidet's remarks to heart and flush the malcontents so they can continue their cheesy whines from the sidelines ad infinitum.

That is what they do.

May they continue to have the desires of their heart.

I am not one to deprive them of their folly.
