On Saturday evening, Vice President Joe Biden’s son and Delaware
attorney general Beau Biden tried to attack presumptive GOP presidential
nominee Mitt Romney, but the punch ended up hitting North Carolina’s
Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue instead.
“I’ve never met a successful politician who didn’t run again,” Biden
said during his keynote address at the North Carolina Democratic Party’s
Jefferson-Jackson dinner, in an attempt to attack Romney’s decision
against running for re-election after his sole term as Massachusetts’
governor. Biden had characterized that comment as “off script” just
before making it.
The crowd “collectively groaned,”
according to the Raleigh News and Observer, because Perdue had decided against running for re-election this year.
Perdue’s administration has been plagued with its own scandals and
gaffes — including alleged sexual harassment among staffers at the
North Carolina Democratic Party (NCDP) and
Perdue’s suggestion that the country “suspend” congressional elections in order to “help this country recover.”
