DAVENPORT,Iowa(AP) -- Campaigning in one of the nation's key U.S. Senate contests, Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that keeping Democratic control of the chamber would "break the back of the hard right" and ease gridlock in Washington.
Biden said next week's choice between Democrat Bruce Braley and Republican Joni Ernst for the open Senate seat in Iowa was critical to the outcome. If Braley wins and the Democrats maintain their majority, he said, the Republicans in Congress will be open to compromising with Democrats on issues such as raising the federal minimum wage.
"If that happens and it will, what's going to happen is it's going to break the back of the hard right," he said. "You are going to see many reasonable people in the Republican Party start to vote reasonably again. Not exactly like we do. But they are going to be open to the kind of compromise that's always allowed this nation to move forward."

Shouldn’t that be the other way around?
I can smell the donkey squeal and see November from my house.
America’s working folks are tired. Obama is nothing more than an agitator and confiscatory tyrant.
He has no support among the producers.
He is the voice of the reasonable? voting reasonably is illegal immigrants voting, dead people voting, one person voting many times in many locations encouraged by the criminals in charge. He was brain dead before drinking whats his excuse?
I have relatives that support Obama. They own their business.
Every chance I get I remind them they didn’t build it.
Already voted for the Tea Party guy in my State,gonna take November 4th through the 7th off from my private sector job to watch the election news,should be fun;)
Braley must be in serious trouble if he has resorted to having Slow Joe stump for him.
"Iowa?" said Joe, "Oh, I thought you said Ohio. Or was it Idaho? I can't keep track of these Southern states."
[ I thought his son was the one caught with drugs..? ]
The son must buy for the father...
I’m not sure the Senate will be resolved on the 5th. Alaska may take a few weeks. And Louisianan/Georgia may go into a run-off.
Or that they should kiss up to those who can “unbuild” it for them in a New York Minute.
er. shouldn’t
I have relatives that support Clown Prince nobola, support every lunacy of LIBs and who are arrogant losers. They still l0ove jimmie carter. I shun them all. My life has never been better..
Mirror mirror on the Mall, whom has the fattest ass of all?
“If we don’t stop the march of the tea party...”
Sounds like plugs is stumping for the gobbler.
On second thought gobbler meeting stump has a nice ring to it.
“”Not exactly like we do.””
Is it something he drinks or is it something he smokes? Either way, it ought to be illegal.
Gridlock? Oh. You mean like Obola's budgets going down in 99-0 flames?
I guess to Biden an Obola budget that loses 98-1 is progress.
“”Already voted for the Tea Party guy in my State,gonna take November 4th through the 7th off from my private sector job to watch the election””
You can put your days off to better use than that - VOTE AGAIN!!!
More likely a crowd of 150 huge people. Just got the words mixed up. Of course any story that begins with “Joe Biden Says” is going to be less than reality.
