Script of "Biden" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: What does Barack Obama's running mate say about Barack Obama?

(Text on screen: Joe Biden)

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS [in debate]: You were asked, "Is he ready?" You said, "I think he can be ready but right now, I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training."

JOSEPH BIDEN: I think that I stand by the statement.

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: And what does he say about John McCain?

JOSEPH BIDEN: I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off.

JOHN MCCAIN [v/o]: I'm John McCain, and I approve this message.

(Text on screen: Paid For By John McCain 2008)
