In an embarassing campaign trail gaffe, a speaker in Tampa introduced Joe Biden as, "the next Vice President of the United States, John McCain."
Tampa area resident Jim Piccillo told local media that he didn't even realize he made the mistake until he was on his way home and heard it on the radio.
The Republican National Committee's media team wasted no time in distributing the video on the internet.
He's not the only one to recently flub a campaign speech. In a speech earlier this week in Ohio, John McCain himself called supporters "my fellow prisoners."
