Biden's family history

[lollardfish]

Did everyone else know Biden's family history? Has he brought it up in this election cycle? (I'm sure voters in Delaware know it). It was news to me and genuinely moving.

I've always thought Biden was afflicted by "smartest guy" syndrome, which made him a good senator and would make him an interesting VP, but not a great candidate.

His debate tasks were very difficult tonight and he achieved them magnificently. Palin exceeded expectations, but moved few moderate voters I expect.

I knew he went home on Amtrak every night to be with his (remaining) kids, but I didn't know they were remaining or that his wife had died.

I never really expected to like Biden -- not that it was necessary to my vote -- but I genuinely do after tonight.
