Joe Biden -- The Commuting Insider

The hardest working man in politics ?

My two cents. Selecting Joe Biden as VP is excellent choice by Obama. I just finished reading Biden's Wikipedia page and some DailyKos posts and Biden has a compelling personal story, a commitment to family life, and a history of real accomplishments in the Senate in both Judiciary and Foreign relations.

He knows how many houses he has. He knows because he had returned to that home each night, on the train, while working in Washington since 1972. Even though he is a Washington insider, he's a commuting insider. Anyone who has ever had a job understands what it means to commute to work.

One post says that he is considered the second poorest Senator in the Senate. The same posting, from someone who interned with him in Washington, said that he has avoided investing in stocks to avoid conflicts of interest. Oh did I say Irish Catholic. I wonder if he went to a Jesuit Prep School. -- I just checked, it was a Catholic Prep School but not Jesuit, Norbertines.

Results from my precinct

We had quite a night last night. 639 peopled showed up to caucus, which is amazing!! The problem was that the curch that was being used as a polling place had a fire safety limit of 96 people. So we got the caucus started in the parking lot. Final sign in results:

Obama 442
Clinton 197

As one of the 5 biggest precincts in Travis county we had a total of 91 delegates to the county convention the brake down was

Obama 63
Clinton 28

I must say I was never prouder of my neighbors and friends that I was last night. Thanks all for coming out and thanks for being so patient with us through out the night. It was truely amazing and humbling.
