Biden will be campaigning in Vancouver, WA for Murray this week

I hope it goes as well for him as his campaign appearence in Milwaukee went last week.

A little squib in the local press mentioned that Biden had appeared 4 hrs. late and had spoken to a crowd of EIGHTY at the Wisconsin Club (a posh, private club) in Milwaukee.

People familiar with the behind the scenes workings of campaigns in general and this campaign in particular point out that the reason he was late was that there were no people to fill the room. Others who were on the spot said that aides were rushing around and buttonholing any live body to come into the fundraiser for free to hear the VP -- Wisconsin Club staffers, regular members there on other business, etc.

It's looking good for Republicans this year in WI.

Biden has been in Milwaukee 3 or four times since the beginning of summer. He’s never been much of a draw here, but he’s overexposed - no one cares to hear the same old stump again, much less pay big donor dollars for it.

I’ve been watching some of the races, and it is looking good for your state and the Senate - go Johnson!

That’s awesome!
