Lucky residents of Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio will be seeing a lot of Vice President Joe Biden in the coming year. The Obama campaign hopes Biden can do what Obama cannot, namely talk to voters. The campaign noted Obama's high negatives in selected groups in these three states make it difficult for Obama to campaign effectively in these must win battleground states. Recently I cited a PPP poll that showed Obama's approval rating among white voters in
Pennsylvania was a dismal 36 percent with a 59 percent disapproval. One would suspect that his numbers similar in Ohio. In south Florida the Jewish vote is deserting Obama in spite of the best efforts of uber shmendrik, Congresswoman Debbie Washington Schultz.
Biden is reported to have strong blue collar appeal; something Obama does not. "Obama provides the speeches, and Biden provides the blue-collar subtitles." says Dan Schnur, a republican strategist. Readers will remember Biden's untruthful claims to a working class background in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The three aforementioned states contain a total of 67 electoral votes and were carried by Obama in 2008.
