"New own goal for Obama as running mate Joe Biden admits: 'Hillary
might have been a better pick than me' "

Barack Obama's White House campaign was in crisis last night after his
running mate Joe Biden admitted Hillary Clinton might have been a
better Democrat choice for vice president.

The extraordinary confession, effectively challenging Mr Obama's
decision to snub the former first lady, was the campaign's second
major gaffe in just 24 hours.

It came as the Illinois senator defended himself against accusations
that he was referring to Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah
Palin when he used the phrase: 'You can put lipstick on a pig. It's
still a pig.'

Mr Biden's comments also underlined Democratic fears that women voters
are turning in droves to John McCain since he plucked the Alaskan
governor from relative obscurity.

'Make no mistake about this, Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more
qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States,' Mr
Biden said.

The 65-year-old Delaware senator told supporters in Nashua, New
Hampshi 'She might have been a better pick than me. She's first
rate.'

A spokesman for Mr McCain immediately said Mr Biden's comments
suggested 47-year-old Mr Obama had botched his 'most important
decision of this election'.

The double blow to the Democrats, already reeling from 'the Palin
effect' in the polls, has led to a series of top level meetings aimed
at getting the once buoyant campaign back on track.
