Pete du Pont: Hi, this is Pete du Pont. As governor, every action you take, every speech you make is subject to

00:00:06.810 - 00:00:13.260

total coverage and instant analysis by the Delaware press corps. The people are constantly informed about what actions are

00:00:13.260 - 00:00:20.050

being taken and the consequences of those actions. But this is not true for our elected officials serving in Washington.

00:00:20.050 - 00:00:27.380

There is no Delaware press corps monitoring their activities. Much of what they do we never hear about. And much of what we hear about

00:00:27.380 - 00:00:33.230

is what they choose to tell us through the newsletters and press releases they write. For the past twelve years,

00:00:33.230 - 00:00:40.210

that's pretty much all we've known about Joe Biden's record. Those things he has chosen to tell us. Now for the first time,

00:00:40.210 - 00:00:49.130

that record is being challenged and Joe Biden is unhappy and uncomfortable. As elected officials, we should and must be held accountable for our record.

00:00:49.130 - 00:00:56.330

That's what democracy is all about. That's what elections are all about. And as Harry Truman once said, "If you can't stand the heat,

00:00:56.330 - 00:01:01.110

stay out of the kitchen." Male Voice 1: Paid for by the Burris for Senate Committee.
