State GOP revels in Obama "Nitally' gaffe
By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com ReporterBelow is a video of U.S. Sen. Barack apparently mispronouncing the name of the Penn State's mascot, calling it a "Nitally Lion."
Penn State's mascot is the "Nittany Lion."
The state GOP was grinning with glee after the campaign for John McCain distributed the video to reporters.
Said spokesman Mike Barley, "It's further proof that he doesn't understand Pennsylvania."

There was so little else
There was so little else that his competitors could say against Obama that Biden was just grasping the obvious point of Obama's youth and newness when trying to elevate his own claim to political experience. The first clip is just sound bites under media pressure to diss one another during a loaded political debate. The other clip shows a more extensive, personal reaction, response and opinion of Obama when Joe is not touting his own cause. It's all politics but I believe the second "shirtsleeve" clip is more honest and fairminded. i just saw in pollclash that Joe Biden has now been officially introduced as Barack Obama's Vice Presidential selection well you can see teh video in http://pollclash.com
