Biden for VP

Biden defended himself by claiming he had correctly credited the original author in all speeches but one – the one where he failed to make mention of the originator was caught on video. Within days, it was also discovered that, while a first year law student at Syracuse Law School, Biden had plagiarized a law review article in a class paper he wrote. Though the then-dean of the law school, as well as Biden's former professor, played down the incident of plagiarism, they did find that Biden drew "chunks of heavy legal prose directly from" the article in question. Biden said the act was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and Biden was permitted to retake the course after receiving a grade of F, which was subsequently dropped from his record.[25] Biden also released his undergraduate grades, which started off poorly and remained unexceptional.[25] Further, when questioned by a New Hampshire resident about his grades in law school, Biden had claimed falsely to have graduated in the "top half" of his class (when he actually graduated 76th in a class of 85), that he had attended on a full scholarship, and had received three degrees.[26] In fact, he had received two majors, History and Political Science, and a single B.A., as well as a half scholarship based on financial need.[26]

Faced with these revelations, Biden withdrew from the nomination race on September 23, 1987, saying his candidacy had been overrun by "the exaggerated shadow" of his mistakes.[27] After Biden withdrew from the race it was learned that the Dukakis campaign had secretly made a video showcasing the Biden/Kinnock comparison and distributed it to news outlets. Dukakis fired John Sasso, his campaign manager and long-time Chief of Staff
