Biden in Adams County: Kerry and Gore both had poll leads, too

Herald Denver Bureau

COMMERCE CITY - Adams County stands out in Colorado for two reasons: it has lots of Democrats and lots of home foreclosures.

Both reasons drew Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden here Tuesday. Biden first urged Democrats to vote early and deliver the must-win Denver suburbs for Barack Obama. Then he launched into an attack on John McCain, saying the Republican candidate has had "one bad idea right after another" on the economy.

Obama and Biden are calling for Congress to return after the election and pass a new economic stimulus package, including a three-month moratorium on home foreclosures.

McCain said Tuesday that the crisis shouldn't be used as an excuse for Congress to wastefully spend more money.

Biden jumped on the comment.

"We need a package. It's no longer a partisan issue, except when it comes to John McCain. He's the only odd man out," Biden said. "How many more economic casualties do we need to wait and see before he's ready to act?"
