Senator Joe Biden headlined the evening speakers, accepting the vice-presidential nomination. Biden used his address to criticize Republican candidate John McCain.

Sen. Joe Biden: “And in the Senate, John has voted with President Bush 95 percent, and that is very hard to believe. And when John McCain proposes $200 [billion] in new taxes for corporate America, $1 billion alone for the largest companies in the nation, but no — none — no relief for 100 million American families, that’s not change; that’s more of the same.”
