32. I have always love Joe Biden...since he 80's. I worked all of his campaigns...

including the presidential one in the 80's where he was smeared. Biden is a good person as many have noted. My sister played around with the GOP during the Bush years. And one time she called me and said she had switched her registration back to 'D'. This was when Hillary was in the Senate and it was an all-nighter, I don't remember the details. No one could go home. Biden wanted to send the older Senators home...I know Thurmond was one of them and maybe Byrd...can't remember. There were others of course.

Sis called his office to express her approval and got Biden on the phone. He answered his phone! They discussed how important it was not to be uber-partisan and have compassion. My sis was very impressed and has voted a straight Dem ticket since then. She was so impressed. But don't kid yourself when necessary, he can be very ruthless. He got the only gun safety bill and the violence against women through the Senate by a combination of twisting arms and a charm offensive.
