Joe Biden Can't Play Hardball

After facing some tough questions, Joe Biden proves he should stay with wiffleball. Channel 9's Barbara West refused to worship at the altar of Obama, and instead did her journalistic job of asking tough questions to all candidates. She threw some fast pitches to Biden.

After the interview, the Obama campaign cancelled Jill Biden's scheduled interview on the same station. Campaign spokeswoman Laura McGinnis did what any teenage reporter would do. Cancel and refuse to show up at any institution that still shows journalistic integrity.

"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election,"

-- Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.
