Biden kept from media and no crowd questions

When it was Palin the media were all over the subject. Since the media know Biden is a gaffe machine they're happy he's under wraps. But what happens if Biden becomes VP? Are we going to have four years of a national disgrace? Or are we going to have a stealth VP?

"And Biden has not held a press availability since Sept. 7, three days before that gaffe, on his plane en route to Big Sky Country.

That means for almost seven of the eight weeks between the Republican convention and the Nov. 4 election Biden's been gagged to the media. How much of a plus can this guy be to the over-funded Obama campaign if he's forbidden from chatting up even his own media crowd?

And if he's so ready to become president in a skipped heartbeat, what conceivable crowd questions are so scary they've, in effect, been forbidden? Besides "Do you think Hillary Clinton should have won?"
