When Joe mentioned watching the RNC convention, another woman shouted out that Dems were watching to observe the competition and THAT was the only reason the viewing numbers were so high. Joe smiled at that. Joe was his usual self with off-the-cuff (and sometimes a bit off-message) asides that provide a personal and conversational tone to his delivery. But he has a fire in his belly. His disgust with the lack of attention paid to what matters to middle America at the RNC convention was palpable. Joe is warmly received in Iowa despite what his poor numbers in the caucuses indicate. People like the "realness" of the guy. His knowledge and credibility appealed to a lot to folks last January, but they doubted his abiility to shine brightly enough in the star-studded field of candidates. And Democrats are determined to have a winner this time. Hopefully, America will recognize how Joe has added immeasurable depth to an already impressive Obama campaign that is rich with ideas and plans to rebuild our strength economically and regain our moral authority in the world.
