Sarah Palin "got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States." |
|

Joe Biden "voted against the first Gulf War. He opposed the surge. He wanted to partition Iraq." |
|

"Barack Obama and Joe Biden oppose new drilling at home and oppose nuclear power." |
