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.”
Biden was the latest high-profile surrogate to visit Iowa as Braley, a four-term congressman, seeks a late surge in his tight race against Ernst. Hillary Clinton is coming Wednesday, and former President Bill Clinton will be in on Saturday. Biden was traveled to Rockford, Illinois, later Monday to campaign for Gov. Pat Quinn and other Democrats.

Maybe liquor companies could make a little extra money by taping razor blades to champagne bottles!
Technically, isn’t champagne a type of wine and not liquor?
‘scuse me Joe...
But Tea Party folks are AMERICAN CITIZENS. Whether you agree with them or not, WE are the country.
It is (most typically chardonnay) but in Texas liquor companies only can sell them. We have the crookedest, cronyist liquor laws in the US.
>>Biden: We Need To ‘Stop The March Of The Tea Party Now<<
Not necessary Joe, Republicans have already begun this work.
Is that a threat from Bozo?
Never enjoyed champagne. Gave me a colossal headache.
No champagne, no spirits, no wine, no cigs, no beer (even gooooood city-brewed beer while in Munich), since ‘88.
Tends to be the best thing for alcoholics to do.
Watch the increase in “doctors” we will have under Obamacare. The smart kids will move to business schools for an MBA.

Geez....you could be right. Remember those foreign med schools that produced doctors who somehow got licensed here?
Google “barefoot doctors” for the ultimate in socialized medicine during Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
Exactly.
Wes be marchin’ and I’s not stopin’.
