Here comes Joe Biden! The vice president was dispatched to the battleground state of Ohio today for a fiery campaign speech that simultaneously attacked the Republicans’ presidential field and propped up Obama. Electing Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney, the veep said, would “bankrupt the middle class once again ... They’re about protecting the privileged sector.” President Obama, meanwhile, has “steel in his spine” that salvaged the auto industry and saved one million jobs. The fiery speech was just one part of the Dems’ 2012 outreach today: the Obama campaign is also poised to release a 17-minute narrative on Obama’s first term.
