Joe Biden - Ich bin ein Coal Cracker!



DENVER - Fresh off accepting his party's vice presidential nomination, Sen. Joe Biden put a charge into Pennsylvania's Democratic delegates today, telling them at a breakfast speech here that "you are going to [see] a whole hell of a lot of me" during the next two months.

"We cannot win without winning Pennsylvania," Biden said. "It is that simple. … You are going to have all the resources this campaign has available to it."

Biden laid his Scranton roots on thick in the 13-minute speech, telling the crowd how he learned his "political consciousness" in the coal country while listening to his grandfather talk politics at the kitchen table.

"You know, Scranton never leaves you," he said. "Pennsylvania never leaves you."
