Biden Warns Musharraf of Consequences for Poor Elections

12/17/2007 1:42 AM ET

CONCORD, N.H. (AP)- Presidential hopeful Joe Biden says the United States should support the country of Pakistan, not President Pervez Musharraf, who has just relaxed harsh restrictions on press freedom and judges.

Speaking in New Hampshire this morning, Biden said he has told Musharraf there will be consequences if the elections scheduled in Pakistan next month are not fair and open.

Biden is chairman of the Senate's foreign relations committee and is basing his candidacy on his foreign policy experience.

Speaking on New Hampshire Public Radio, Biden said he is lagging in the polls because he hasn't been able to raise as much money as his rivals. Biden said the others are wedded to special interests and can out-raise him.
