Few disagree that Biden, whose own presidential bid ended after a poor showing in January's Iowa caucuses, is on the short list of contenders for the No. 2 slot.

McCain Doesn't Need a Fact-Checker; the Media Edit His Mistakes for Him | Election 2008 | AlterNet
Note: FTP: In short, the Sunni Awakening happened well before the surge, had zero to do with the surge, and McCain had his facts (again) completely wrong.

He pointed out and documented the latest McCain mistake.
