I'm not famiular with the "tendonitus" incident but did see some story talking about a lady in a wheel chair that Biden mistakenly told to stand up. I didn't read the whole story as it did not appear to be very news worthy. I'm wondering if this is the same incident you refered to.
I really don't think it is a big deal if Biden says the wrong state or makes some other minor speaking gaffe. They are simple mistakes that we all make from time to time.
As I have already said my biggest Biden complaint is his willingness to play the race card for political gain and especially after four years of Dems contantly claiming Repubs are guilty of racism.
I've seen several Dems go on TV and defend Biden's comment, "They're going to put y'all back in chains." made to a Virginia crowd which included several hundred blacks. Some Biden defenders say Biden simply mispoke or used a poor choice of words. What they don't tell you is that Biden was reading it right off the teleprompter and was saying exactly what he was supposed to say. This was not a case of Biden adlibbing or using some words off the top of his head. This speech was carefully prepared and written ahead of time and I can only assumed was approved by Obama or other top leaders in his campaign.
I'm thinking that by choosing to play the race card in this fashion and at this time that the Obama camp most be thinking this could be a very close race.
