Asked by a local television reporter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin if electing Palin would be a step forward for women, Biden said, "well look, I think the issue is what does Sarah Palin think? What does she believe?"
"I assume she thinks and agrees with the same policies that George Bush and John McCain think," Biden added. "And that's obviously a backward step for women."
So Sarah Palin is a step back for women. Nice JoeSure you're going to get a lot of women votes saying things like that
UPDATE: Republican National Committee spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson has a response:
"The only person taking a step backward is Joe Biden, whose appalling and arrogant statements are better suited for the back rooms of his old boys club. Sarah Palin's nomination as the Republican vice presidential nominee is an historic opportunity to break the highest glass ceiling." (for women)
You know Biden is stating the facts, based on Palin's political positions on women's issues.
