So, this isn't a recent picture, and it's a little fuzzy, but it is of a great guy. This was taken the night before the Iowa Caucuses in January 2008. Biden was way down in the polls, I think he was at about 4% or so, but I tell you, the hall in Cedar Rapids was packed with people that had come out on a cold snowy evening to listen to Biden talk. Everyone knew that he wasn't going to win the Caucuses, but they were there anyway, just to listen to him and to ask him questions. (Biden also had the best line of the primaries, in my opinion, when he said of Rudy Giuliani, "There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun, and a verb and 9/11.") He's a powerful, no bull-shit kind of guy, who has, as his presidential campaign in Iowa boasted, "Ears of Experience," as illustrated by thirty some-odd ears of corn, and I am so delighted that Obama has chosen him as his running mate. Go Obama-Biden!
