Here's my Joe Biden story...

A fun fact: in 1982 I was working security at the DNC mid-term Conference in Philadelphia, and I turned away Joe Biden because he wasn't wearing his credentials and I didn't know who he was. I mentioned this to him in 2012; he hasn't held it against me...

to Youngstown for a rally. I was working it too. My daughter couldn't take the crowds...bigger than expected. She had a meltdown. We were about to be escorted out by secret service but Biden somehow heard this or about this. He put my kid in a comfy VIP area and took a picture too. And yes she got a hug and words of support. She adores Joe. My entire family does.

Watching Joe on MSNBC right now just talking to people in a pizza parlor. No sound. He treats them with such interest and kindness. I keep tearing up.

12, it is my opinion ,Clinton and Biden saved Obama's presidency in 12...people think it was easy. It was not. I and everyone else working the campaign was worried.

Ya know?

I may not be thrilled with Biden's "evolution" on policy in some areas. But what a contrast it would be to have someone like him running the country. Even if we disagree on how to get there, I just think his overall intentions are generally good.
