DENVER: When most people think of Joe Biden, they think Senate longevity, confidence, a liberal with a free-wheeling impulse to give you his never-to-be-humble opinion.
What they don't think of is a man who could have a great impact in Pennsylvania. The question becomes: Can he make his impact as broad as Hillary Clinton -- another Scranton native -- did in the Pennsylvania primaries?
Hillary glowed in Pennsylvania. She made Pennsylvania her second home and it stuck with voters. John Kerry, married to the Heinz ketchup heiress Teresa, did the same thing in his runup to the 2004 election. He made western Pennsylvania his second home, including the announcement of John Edwards as his running mate.
Both did well cultivating votes as a home-towner.
Larry Ceisler, a Philadelphia political analyst, says the Biden appeal is even stronger in the eastern half of the state -- home of the bulk of the votes cast in a statewide election.

John Edwards would be a better VP pick than Joe Biden.
Hillary Clinton is not a Scranton native. She was born and raised in Illinois. She visited her grandparents in Scranton, and tried to emphasize her extended family ties to the state, but she herself is not a native of PA.
Just want to correct this factual error.
And “Articulate and Clean” and “7-11’s”
Hell I thought everybody in PA was either being arrested on COPS or living on a nice little Amish farm somewhere.
Biden can’t be some Scranton. He actually has teeth in his mouth and is sober most of the time. Definitely not a Scranton native.
All true.
Don’t forget the huge mistake obama made giving billory so much face time next week in denver.
Those two decisions show what a feckless leader he would be(apologies to jimmahc.)
one more reason McCain ought to go with John Kasich from Ohio,, pro life, top notch on the economy and an all around well respected conservative republican with a young family
the guy would tear up Biden on the stump and the debates
he has the life story too of tragedies and triumph
.
A lot of dead people vote in PA. Should be a call for Federal election observers.
The scraggly effect maybe.
ROTFLOL!
The big question may be, can jumpin’ Joe Biden corner the Mullet/hair for men vote in PA and elsewhere.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the title said scrotum. Had to go back and read a second time to be sure.
If you are going to post your blog articles, it would only be fair to FReepers for you to disclose what campaigns you have worked on or ARE being paid by, ESPECIALLY if you have worked for someone now in contention for VP.
Awaiting your reply.
It's Biden: So much for 'Hope and Change'
