Saturday Night Live Joe Biden Skit 11/15/08

Vice President-elect Joe Biden chose as his chief of staff a man who once served in that same role for Vice President Al Gore, Democratic officials said Thursday.

Ron Klain also was an adviser for Biden during his Democratic primary bid and helped the Delaware senator prepare for the vice presidential debate during the fall campaign.

The officials disclosed Biden’s selection on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly for President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team. That group is planning to announce senior staff appointment later this week.

Joe Biden gave a great speech today in Marion, Ohio. What I heard prior to this part of the speech was great, when he talked about the Republicans trying to divide us. You can hear the whole speech here.

Joe Biden today. Johnny Johnny Johnny!

More than 12,000 people filled Cheney Stadium on Sunday afternoon to see and hear Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Joseph Biden.

It was Biden’s first campaign stop in Washington state. And with so many battleground states, some people were surprised that he came at all.

But Biden’s message wasn’t just to get out the vote for Democratic presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama. He also was in Washington to stump for Gov. Chris Gregoire, locked up in a tight race with Republican candidate Dino Rossi, just 16 days before Election Day.

“The kind of change that we want to bring to this country will be lost - will be lost here in the state of Washington - if you don’t re-elect Gov. Gregoire,” Biden proclaimed. “She’s already doing it. She’s already doing it.”

The rally turned Tacoma’s Cheney Stadium into a big party for Democrats. And Biden took note of the irony of the stadium’s name - the same as Republican Vice President Dick Cheney - in his speech.

“I want to thank you for making this stadium today, temporarily changing the name from Cheney stadium to Obama-Biden stadium for the day,” he told the charged-up crowd.

“Besides,” he quipped, “if it was Cheney’s stadium, we’d be at an undisclosed location, and you wouldn’t be able to find us.”

As he rips his jacket off……
“In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood, in my neighborhood where I came from if you got something to say to a man you look him in the eye and say it to him.”

I think he grew up in the same neighborhood I did…….

Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden has canceled his campaign appearances Monday and Tuesday after the death of his mother-in-law Sunday.

Biden spokesman David Wade said Bonny Jean Jacobs, the mother of Biden’s wife, Jill, died Sunday after a long illness.

Jacobs was 78 and lived in Willow Grove, Pa. Wade described her as a “homemaker and avid gardener with a lifelong love of reading.”
