Joe Biden took time to talk to the traveling press on the four hour flight from Wilmington, Delaware to Kalispell, Montana. Standing in the aisle, he spoke earnestly about a number of issues, including his faith in the American people and the need to realize peace in Iraq, emphasizing that we must understand the situation on a local level to create significant, lasting change.

The plane descended through the clouds to reveal the gorgeous landscape of Kalispell, Montana, bursting with mountain ranges and pine-tree studded countryside. The Biden motorcade headed for Flathead High School, where Joe conducted a roundtable discussion in a room alongside a large “Montana for Change” sign painted above purple mountains.

Joe spoke about Barack Obama’s genuine success in uniting all kinds of people, and his ability to reach across the Senate aisle to collaborate with both Democrats and Republicans.

Later he asked the audience where McCain-Palin differ from George W. Bush on the big-ticket items such as health care, energy, raising the minimum wage, or funding for college, challenging the idea that either of them were true agents of change.

Joe ended by calling, “The United States is ready, I am ready, Barack Obama is ready. Rise-up!”

Please enjoy the slideshow of the day in pictures and a video from Joe’s speech.

12. I was there

in Kalispell yesterday. Biden spoke for about an hour and a half with no notes, no teleprompter, with lots of specifics about healthcare, the economy, energy, education, taxes, foreign policy. Talk about the smartest mofos in the room -- he's going to wipe the floor with Palin in the debates. His only brief reference to Palin that I recall was that her family was off limits. He did talk about his respect for McCain but then proceeded to lay out in detail exactly where McCain is wrong on every issue facing the country, and why the Obama/Biden ticket is right on these issues and why it's so important that we win this election to turn the country around.

He was pretty damned impressive. If you get a chance to see him in person, don't miss it.

13. You are so fortunate to have seen him in person

I've heard similar reactions from other people. The man is a walking encyclopedia and is his best in this kind of venue. I'm quite sure Obama has no regrets about the choice he made.

14. that's great - what was your impression of the crowd, esp. independents/GOP voters? nt

[WoodyD]

16. Hard to say . . .

the crowd was highly receptive, especially on the specific issues, and especially when he talked about the wrong/failed policies that are hurting the country. I'd say mostly Dems and independents and maybe some GOP. If there were Republicans there, they obviously came to listen rather than boo or protest, and they cared about what he had to say. The entire audience was really attentive and liked what they heard.

15. you should post that article out in the GD-P forum - it's great! nt
