Santa Barbara's Capps applauds Biden's debate performance
By Jeff Mitchell, PolitickerCA.com EditorGolden State Congresswoman Lois Capps applauded Sen. Joe Biden's performance Thursday night in his debate with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP's vice presidential nominee.
In fact, following party lines, the Santa Barbara Democrat didn't mention Palin's performance once in this statement:
"Sen. Biden showed why he was chosen to be Barack Obama's running mate," said Capps. "Biden demonstrated his in-depth knowledge of the most complex issues plaguing our country and the steps we must take to put our country in a new direction. The first real test for a presidential nominee is the selection of a running mate who is ready to be president on day one. We saw again tonight that Senator Obama picked someone who meets that test. And that choice is yet another demonstration that Senator Obama has the judgment we need in a commander-in-chief."
