Joe Biden Said That?

Another item hot off the presses! Speaking at a October 2009 fundraiser in Alexandria, VA, Biden sounded optimistic. Or at least vaguely hopeful; here's the quote:

I hope to god you understand this race is winnable

Not to worry, though, he quickly recovered with:

I was told another good friend of mine running for governor in another state. They declared him dead two weeks ago. He is now ahead. We are going to win that race.

That's only fair - dead people have voted Democratic, so why can't a dead person receive Democratic votes?
