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 dunno though I kinda wish she would stay home if only because I don't want her near politics poisoning the well.

I personally couldn't leave a tiny infant unless I had to but that's just me regardless of their individual and special needs. I think I'm kinda sexist cause I certainly questioned her being in political office with so many kids at home and so many of them still kind of young. But maybe that reflects my own personal preference for putting family before a career.
I certainly don't think others should be expected to stay home but at the same time seeing how poorly many families manage career & kids at KBH made me think twice about being a supermom.
But I'm sure they can afford good quality care for their 5 kids and soon to be grandchild.
