    FILE – This Sept. 24, 2010, file photo shows Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett in Milwaukee. Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday, Oct. 7, 2010, that Wisconsin’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker is skating by on GOP talking points while Democrat Tom Barrett has a “backbone like a ramrod.” Biden made the comments at a morning fundraiser for Barrett in Madison, Wis.

    MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden says Wisconsin’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker is skating by on GOP talking points.

    Biden made the comments at a Thursday morning fundraiser for Democratic candidate Tom Barrett in Madison.

    According to a White House pool report Biden used much the same rhetoric against Walker as he did against Minnesota’s Republican gubernatorial candidate, accusing both candidates of drinking the same Kool-Aid as national GOP leaders.

    The Republican National Committee dismissed Biden’s appearance as “another hollow stump speech.” Walker says the White House won’t pick the next governor of Wisconsin, the people will.
