In final South Carolina push, Biden calls election a battle 'for the soul of the nation'

[TexasTowelie]

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Twelve hours before South Carolina voters head to the polls, former Vice President Joe Biden on Friday sought a home court advantage in a college gym before a cheering crowd.

“You hold in your hands the future of the Democratic Party,” Mr. Biden said, pointing out that South Carolina helped propel former President Barack Obama to the presidency in the 2008 primary election.

“If you send me out of here with a victory that’s significant, I think that I’m gonna be the next nominee,” said Mr. Biden, who Mr. Obama selected as vice president that year.

The event at Wofford College’s basketball arena at times resembled a pep rally — staffers tossed Biden T-shirts into the bleachers and played a hype video on the Jumbotron before the candidate’s entrance onto the court.

6. You're welcome.

It looks like Joe will get a good share of the delegates and shave Bernie's lead by 10-18 delegates based upon most of the polls that were conducted.

7. That it is.

If Trump returns in November, and the chances are good he will, the world is going to take a hit, and a lot of people will suffer. Is Joe our last best hope? Not to be dramatic but it sure looks that way. So keeping fingers crossed!
