NBC's Brian Williams and Andrea Mitchell on Friday night used their presumption, that Senator Joe Biden is Barack Obama's VP choice, to showcase, for a second straight night, the Obama campaign's attack on John McCain over his inability to say how many homes he owns. After asserting that â€œit is looking more and more like Senator Joe Biden is the choice,â€ reporter Andrea Mitchell contended â€œBiden, with blue collar roots, could help reinforce Obama's latest messageâ€ conveyed in an Obama TV ad: â€œCall it country club economics. Following her story, Williams returned to what interested him the most: â€œBack to the McCain campaign and this issue they're fighting which you predicted yesterday would go down as one of those moments in a campaign.

JsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Texas, talks about being considered as Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama running mate in his backyard Friday Aug. 22, 2008 in Waco Texas. Edwards was tight lipped but Democratic officials said he was one of the few Democrats whose background was checked by Obama's campaign and he was a finalist for the job.
