Biden in Iowa: 'Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play'
Source: Des Moines Register
DAVENPORT, Ia. - After arriving at an Iowa baseball park today for a campaign event, Vice President Joe Biden told Iowans: "I look out there at that field and the first thing that comes to mind is: 'Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play.' "
Two Iowa Democrats shared double billing with Biden at Modern Woodmen Park, the local minor-league baseball stadium: U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, who gave up his northeast Iowa congressional seat to run for U.S. Senate and is trailing in the polls, and incumbent U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, who is seeking re-election in southeast Iowa.
Braley commended Biden, telling the audience of about 150 that the vice president "has been to Iowa so many times that he doesn't need GPS. He doesn't need a road map, he just needs to know where he's going and he's going to get there because Iowans know him, they love him and they trust him."
Biden returned the praise in a 22-minute speech, saying: "If Bruce wins, and I believe he will, and I think you're going to see us keep the United States Senate, as a matter of fact, if that happens, and it will, what's going to happen is it's going to break the back of the hard right."

My husband, son and I were all at the same caucus.. while hubby and I caucused for then Senator Obama... son was the caucus captain for Biden.. I saved on of the signs he had at the table for Biden from 2008 and when he (Biden) swung through town in the 2012 reelection campaign.. I took it to the rally and he signed it for him.. When you are in a room with Joe Biden, the love is almost palpable from him to the voters and from them back to him.. he really is the guy you want at the dinner table at Thanksgiving.. He is just the shot in the arm Bruce Braley needs.. I hope it works....Love ya Joe, Love ya Bruce.. and of course we love Dave too..but he is on the other side of the state.
