With a nod to past - and maybe future - Biden votes

GREENVILLE, Del. -- Saying that "it's always a kick" to vote on a ballot that bears his name, Vice President Joe Biden made his political picks Tuesday in his home state of Delaware.

Matt Rourke / AP

Vice President Joe Biden, accompanied by his son Beau Biden, his wife, Hallie and their daughter Natalie, stands in line to cast his ballot at Alexis I. duPont High School, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012, in Greenville, Del.

Outside his polling place at Alexis I. duPont High School, Biden told reporters that this is the eighth time he has run statewide and urged all Americans to exercise the "honor" of voting.

Asked if today's vote for the Obama-Biden ticket would be the last time he votes for himself, he grinned widely and replied "no, I don't think so."

The vice president was accompanied by his wife, his son Beau and daughter-in-law, and granddaughter Natalie. Biden joked to Natalie, 7, that she should make sure to keep him in mind if she votes. But, he noted with mock penitence, "I'm not supposed to be campaigning" inside the polling place, per federal law.

Biden travels tonight to Chicago, where he and the president will await election results.

Discuss this post

Four more years and then he can run if he wants. Personally, I want Hillory to run. The glass ceiling needs to break and she is the one that can break it. I'll work for her tirelessly if she does. But first things first, everyone progressive and moderate needs to vote today for our President for four more years of forward moving. For the sake of our neighbors, for the sake of children, for this countries future. Otherwise, a plutocracy we become and it has all been for not. European revolutions would have taught us nothing and we would repeat their mistakes with plutocrats in power.

VP Biden, so so so looking forward to this evening. Thanks for all your help to make this day a special day for all Americans who care about our democracy. Your efforts did not go unnoticed.

It is being said that it was your debate with Ryan that turned the tide and the nation never looked back.

Those who campaigned for President Obama took NO crap from today's GOP.

That's what we all wanted to see and hear.

Ron, we go back a long way. Enjoy your evening.

I so remember the primaries back in '08. It was tough. There was very little support for Obama at that time here on FR. I was told I was "naive" I recall because of my support for Obama early on.

Life is funny isn't it?

I believe you're right Ron. I doubt that the democrats will make a huge push for Biden to run for president in the near future. As Anabanana described in her post, there may be more changes to our political landscape in the coming years. Hillary may be the likely choice for many, but I wouldn't vote for her simply because she is female. But she would probably be a better choice than 99.9% of the current politicians out there.

There are many, many good candidates out there already and many more that will come to the forefront in the coming years. Biden has had a lot of bad press and unless things change dramatically in the next four years, I doubt he'll make a serious run for the POTUS any time soon.

Ana.....I actually like Joe Biden. He's a fine man, and if it weren't for him holding Obama's hand, along with the Clinton's, this country would be in even more trouble than it's already in.

It would be a different story if he was under 70 at the start of what would-be his first term.

But, Joe will be well over 70 years of age by the time 2016 rolls around. I think we had enough with septuagenarian Presidencies when Reagan was in office.

Hillary would be my choice too. In gfact, if she had gotten the Democratic nomination in the first place, we would be in the mess that we're in.

But, independent jerk-off's and third party PUKES stuck their nose into the Democratic Party's nominating processs, and we got stuck with this MORON.

Obama is the single reason I resigned from the Democratic Party after 36 years. He doesn't deserve a second term, and God willing we will get rid of him tonight!

Southern Nevada woman is arrested on suspicion of trying to vote twice.

Investigators today arrested a Southern Nevada woman suspected of trying to vote twice this week at two different polling locations.

Roxanne Rubin was taken into custody as she arrived for work at the Riviera hotel-casino, investigators said. Rubin, 56, is a registered Republican who lives in Henderson, according to the Clark County Registrar.

Rubin allegedly cast a vote Monday at the Anthem Community Center in Henderson. Later that day, she tried to vote a second time at an early voting location on Eastern Avenue, investigators said.

When Rubin arrived at the second location, a poll worker conducted a routine database check and found Rubin had already voted. When confronted by the poll worker, Rubin denied having voted and claimed the database used by the poll worker was wrong. Rubin was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on one felony count of voting twice in the same election.

And within each state remember the elected officals who have dampened and tarnished this concept of choice by doing whatever means to prohibit americans from voting!

Thanks for the great laugh to start things off here "perturbative approximation"!

For the past 4 years we have seen our country disrupted in every way possible by the partisan GOPTP. They have done everything in their power to oust the President regardless of how it effects the average American.

They failed to pass budget that for the first time in our history lowered our credit rating as a country.

They have done everything in their power to suppress voting.

They have tried to tell every woman in the country what they can/can not do with their body.

They have tried to insure that big oil/insurance/Wall Street operate with little restriction regardless of how it damages the wallets of every American.

This election as all recent elections is about how much further this country will divide itself into a two class society. We will look much more like Mexico and other countries if the GOP has it's way. They would like nothing less than to have the ultra wealthy retaining what they have and to make sure everyone else lives paycheck-to-paycheck so they can control them on a daily basis.

Ticked off in Ohio seems to bitter. Maybe someone stole his toys or robbed his piggy bank. Such a sour sense of being. Unfortunately he is going to be very unhappy when this election is ended. There will be cries of voter fraud, conspiracy, media bias, all the usual excuses but the simple fact will be that none of that will be true. The truth will be that our upset friend in Ohio will be wanting a stiff drink and a beer to sob into. The crying towels are laundered and ready his bar room reseervation, his favorite place is reserved. Once he's done ranting, raving and sobbing uncontrollably for hours he'll finally run out of tears and someone will show him some pity (perhaps a 47%er) and take him home so he can go to bed where he will beat the stuffings out of his teddy bear before screaming "it's not fair" and then go to sleep. He'll wake tomorrow morning thinking it was all a nightmare until he sees his teddy ripped to shreds and even FOX noise is spewing their usual lies and hate but having to admit their guy LOST.

The Democratic National Convention opened today showing the national debt at $16 trillion. So to make good on his promise, he would have to cut the debt by $10.5 trillion in 60 days. He missed his mark by $10.5 TRILLION."

bahrrt and SeekingSanity - Who controls the purse stings for government spending? It's the Congress, not the President. The President can ask for a lot of spending but it is up to Congress to actually write the bills. As far as cutting the deficit by $200 million, it was the Congress that did that. Had Obama gotten all of his spending approved the deficit would have increased dramatically. Remember we haven't had a Budget for the last 3 years. Nor have many of the appropriations been passed.

Obama's problem has been that he thinks he was entitled to everything he requested, and because of lack of LEADERSHIP he has been a failure. Also remember those wars you talk about being put on the credit card were voted on and approved by a Democratic controlled Congress.

sfcret - your igorance is showing - big time. The Republicans didn't do anything to cut the deficit - they finally approved a few things to help cut it but they were all the President's ideas. Had they acted on most of his proposals, the jobs picture would be better and our deficit lower.

Had Bush not spent like a drunken sailor - even when he was handed a surplus when he took office - none of this would be going on.

Our President has shown leadership at every turn. Republicans however, have shown they don't care about the country - only their own party - as they've blocked everything they could and have harmed the country in the process.

It is the Republicans who have signed loyalty oaths to Grover Norquist and should be tried for treason by doing so.

And sooner, or later we'll clean up Congress and the Supreme Court, and give back America to true Americans.

as for Seeking trying pass off whatever that rant was she just wrote as fact is laughable and yet sad.

The only ones showing stupidity are SeekingSanity and bahrrt. Maybe both of you should go back to school and learn how the government works. BTW, in the last two years the Republicans stopped a bigger spending spree. Look at the stupid Budged Request submitted by Obama, it was so bad he couldn't even get one Democratic Senator to vote for it.

SeekingSanity - It is apparent that you don't even know what LEADERSHIP is. You and the other left wing idiots that post everyday only can play the blame game or play the race card. Obama has been President for almost 4 yrs and we still have an 7.9 unemployment rate (actually 23 million unemployed, underemployed or quit looking for approx a 15% rate), millions more on food stamps, lower wages, and a dwindling middle class.

Obama has blamed Bush, the Tsunami, Gulf oil spill, Arab Spring, European financial crisis and the fact that be didn't have a "super majority" in Congress. Remember Obama was a member of the Senate and he knew very well what to expect and he said he was capable of handling it, but as we can see that was not true.

    Get out and vote America! The "Gross Odd People" (GOP), and the "Really Not Competent (RNC) have no idea of what a Democracy means. They are 'Gross' in their behaviors. They are just 'Odd" in their personalities. This clearly equals that the GOP/RNC "Conspirators" need to be voted out. Just read the GOP/Tea Beggers views on the rights of others. On Economic Policies, Tax Policies, Job Bills, Foreign Policy, and Trade Policy. The Tea Beggers are just not competent at all. Remember to chant this American when going out to the polls. Hey! Hey!

    Our form of government is Democracy. What form of Government is a Democracy? it is a form of socialism. You Repubs don't even know what form of Gov. we have in the USA. No capitalism is not a form of Gov. it is a form of economic system.

    I guess you really hate this "We the people of the United States of America" We the people a socialistic statement.

    The United States is a presidential, federal democratic republic, in which the President of the United States (the head of state and head of government), Congress, and judiciary share powers reserved to the national government, and the federal government shares sovereignty with the state governments. Federal and state elections generally take place within a two-party system, although this is not enshrined in law.

    If you want the most technical term, our country is a constitutionally limited representative democratic republic. Our form of government, the constitution limits the power of government. We elect representatives, so it's not a pure democracy. But we do elect them by majority rule so it is democratic. And the form of, the infrastructure, the total form of government, is republican, it is a republic.

    Here we go again. New Black Panther intimidating Voters again. It feels like I'm back in Venezuela.

    A Pennsylvania judge is issuing an order to reinstate Republican election officials across Philadelphia who allegedly were ejected or refused entry by on-site Democratic voting chief judges, GOP officials tell Fox News.

    One Republican official claimed that "just under 70" Republican election officials were blocked from Philadelphia polling sites Tuesday morning by Democrats on site. One of them, the official claimed, "was shoved out of the polling place."

    "For this many inspectors to be ejected from polling places is rare, even for Philadelphia," the official told FoxNews.com.

    Um it's just one guy - a single New Black Panther. LOL

    And he's a designated poll watcher. LOL

    "A member of the New Black Panther Party...was back Tuesday morning – in an official capacity.

    Jerry Jackson...was seen early Tuesday outside a North Philadelphia voting site...Fox News confirmed he is a designated poll watcher."

    Zack Stalberg, president and CEO of the Committee of Seventy, a Philadelphia government watchdog group, said his group had received no complaints as of midday Tuesday regarding the presence of New Black Panther Party officials at polling stations.

    "We haven't received any complaints at all," Stalberg said.

    Republicans going into heavily Democratic precints and intimidating voters and poll workers.

    "Earlier, WHYY/NewsWorks' Emma Jacobs reported: The Philadelphia Republican Party leaders sent out 300 minority-party site inspectors... to polling places that traditionally haven't had any.

    Denise Furey, a Republican ward leader in West Philadelphia...said the situation has been politically charged but attributed most of it to confusion on the part of Democratic poll workers who aren't used to seeing Republican site inspectors come in at all."

    Enjoy today, fellow Dems. 2016 may not be so kind. In 2004, while licking our wounds after two disastrous candidacies, we could see two potential stars for 2008, Hillary and Barack. Who's on the bench for 2016? Hillary? I think she would make a great President, but she will be pushing 70 by 2016, and you gotta know that Chris Christie will spend the next four years loading up for a Republican run. He'll be strong. Outside of Hillary, I don't see a great Dem candidate; and please, don't say Joe Biden! Plus, if the GOP finally comes to its senses in the next four years and banishes the radicals like Rush, Tea Baggers, and Bachmann to the fringe where they belong, look out. But that's a long shot. They've had four years to figure out that victory lies closer to the center, and so far, there's no sign of learning.
