Pennsylvania Joe

"and home of Senator Joe Biden"


Isn't it interesting how Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) has morphed so quickly into Joe Biden (D-PA)? From his first utterings since being nominated as Barack Obama's running mate, Biden has seemingly forgotten that he represents the state of Delaware.

These days, it's Keystone Joe, the kid from Scranton, PA. ("Scranton never leaves you", says Joe) Where did Obama and Biden head once the festivities in Denver had concluded? Pittsburgh, that's where. Why? To reinforce his Pennsylvania origins, that's why.

In truth, Biden spent the first ten years of his life in Scranton before his family moved to Delaware, that tiny insignificant state with only a fingerfull of electoral votes.

But Pennsylvania-that's different story. Pennsylvania is a delegate-rich state that is considered a crucial battleground state in November. Thus, Biden is once again a bonafide Pennsylvanian, tried and true, red, white and blue.

So once again, Joe Biden, the big-mouth, the plagiarizer, is giving everyone the big stroke-job in trying to convince the swing-voters of a major state that he is "one of them", a favorite son, if you will. Watch for the mainstream media to go to Scranton to dig up people who went to kindergarten with Joe or bounced him on their laps.

So, in the words of the Obama camp, is this politics as usual, change, or just more of the same?
