PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Critics are having a field day with an advisory from Vice President Joseph Biden's office that describes an upcoming visit to New England. According to Biden's White House office, the vice president plans to go to Boston, Manchester and then "Providence Road Island" on Thursday to attend campaign events. Presumably, Biden knows that U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, for whom he is expected to campaign, is a U.S. senator from the state of Rhode Island, not Road Island, wherever that is.
