Jill Biden
Jill Biden readily admits that she probably wouldn’t be involved in politics if she hadn’t married Joe Biden. At the same time, she admits that it was her and her family that talked her husband into running for the 2008 nomination of the Democratic Party for the Presidency. She says she just couldn’t believe that President Bush had been re-elected in 2004. She says that not a single person she knew had voted for President Bush. She says she felt strongly that the country needed her husband, with his 40-year history of service in the Senate, to set the country in the right direction.
She works full time and, during his campaign, spent her weekends campaigning for him, usually in Iowa. She has said she likes being in Iowa.
Joe Biden is Obama’s vice presidential running mate. Many people feel that his wife is his best asset.
Life is rapidly changing for Jill Biden. A relative unknown just a few days ago, she is suddenly having to adjust to life in the spotlight. The country is starting to get to know just who this pretty woman is. Read more about her.

I met Jill Biden here in Iowa and heard her speak several times on behalf of Joe, and you won’t find a more genuine lady anywhere. She’s sensitive, tough, and classy. You couldn’t ask for better people than she and Joe.

If Jill Biden didn’t meet a single person who voted for George Bush in 2004 then she has a very limited circle of friends, acquaintances and experience. Someone so isolated cannot bring much perspective to such a high position in government and Washington.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:41 pm
I haven’t met anyone who voted for Bush, either and I know a lot of people. Perhaps no one wants to admit it.
The wife of the vice-president isn’t required to hang out with right-wingers for perspective.
Look at Lynne Cheney for heaven’s sake. She wrote a porn book and it hasn’t affected her position with the holier than thou crowd.

Lesley Elliott - I thought the exact same thing. Apparently, they don’t mingle with people who don’t think just like they do. That seems to be a pattern with the left. I think its part of the reason they have such a hard time understanding what the ‘average’ American is about.

Most liberals I know have better family values than the hypocrites that vote Republican.

Beth, I take back all the mean things I ever said about you.
August 25th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Oh no. What did I do wrong Edward? Was I too generous with Biden and his wife? That worries me that you might approve of me
August 27th, 2008 at 4:38 am
That’s funny. I don’t know anyone who voted for Kerry or Gore. I can’t believe that anyone could have voted for either. Sorry Jill.

Jennifer, your ignorance is beyond compare…most liberals support, a woman right to slaughter her unborn baby (a real family value).., they support government give aways as long as the hand of the government is not in their pocket…(FYI Republicans out give Dems in charity contributions by a large margin) Democrats never put their money where their mouths are. They saw nothing wrong with Clinton making a whore house out of the White House. ( Another great family value) They saw nothing wrong with Barney Frank running a male prostitution ring from his government paid housing in DC….they elected him again and again..( I guess we should all want our young men to aspire to his accomplishments….Family Values you say! You wouldn’t know a family value if it hit you smack in the face…..
