And here weÂ’ve all been told that this quit being an asset in seeking the Democrat presidential nomination 150 years ago.

I guess Joe Biden didnÂ’t get the memo.

Biden dismissed the notion that he was a "Northeastern liberal" who would have a poor showing in the South against other likely contenders such as Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee.

"Better than anybody else," Biden said, when asked on "Fox News Sunday" to rate his chances of winning Southern states.

"You don't know my state," he said. "My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state has the eighth-largest black population in the country. My state is anything from a Northeast liberal state."

I am, to say the least, stunned. How big a screw-up does Biden have to make before the Democrats renounce and condemn him – and before he quits being treated like a credible candidate for any office.

And, as I often ask, what would be the reaction of the media if a comment like that came out of a Republican?
