I should have put the cellphone on the night stand, but we’ve all got our text messages now and have seen that Joe Biden is Barack Obama’s running mate.
A long time ago, when I was analyzing the primary candidates from an “Iron Range” perspective, I commented that Joe Biden seemed like a guy who could hold his own in an Iron Range bar. I think that’s still true and I think we’ll see Sen. Biden in northern Minnesota before this election is over (though probably not at a bar). Campaign operatives in Duluth and on the Iron Range have all but been told that Obama will not be campaigning up north because of the push in more swingy states. But the Range got the VP candidate in 2004 (John Edwards in a huge Hibbing rally) and Duluth almost always gets the VP at least once. My call? Joe Biden at Checco’s with a pitcher of Hamm’s.
Build those bridges.
