Not a very decent point, I don't think, given that McCain has been on the Hill since 1982 and in the Senate since 1986. 36 years makes you a Washington insider but 26 doesn't?

You don't make that point by stressing how long Biden has been in Washington, 'cause that comes back to bite you with McCain, who has also been there long enough to be considered an insider by any reasonable, chronoligically-linked definition. You make that point by pointing out what Biden has done/who he has sided with during his time in Washington.
