Biden's Honest, Perhaps Too Honest.

In a week of gaffes, such as saying he didn't support clean coal when he was supposed to, and getting his history wrong on the Great Depression, Mr. Biden earned some respect from me. He admitted his campaign was wrong for an attack ad against Mr. McCain that included attacking his inability to use a computer due to war injuries. Both sides have crossed the line in ads, but only Mr. Biden admits it. That is to be commended. Of course, the Obama campaign forced him to "clarify" later.

In contrast, Mr. Obama criticized Mr. Biden and simply ignored the hypocrisy when he slammed Mr. McCain for changing positions on AIG, when Mr. Biden had done the same thing. Mr. Obama could learn a few things from his running mate about integrity.
