Joe Biden on fire

Joe Biden is a good guy to have on your team, that's for sure. He may not vote for the little guy all the time; he voted for the execrable bankruptcy bill a while back. (I almost excuse him for that, because he was at least doing the bidding of his constituents in Delaware, the state which contains the corporate offices of the vast majority of banks and other financial institutions that profited by that legislation. The real problem back in 2005 when this came up was all the Republicans who supported it who didn't represent anyone positively affected by it in their home states, which is to say nearly all of them.) On almost every issue, though, he's not only a good Democrat, he's a fighting Democrat, which is unfortunately a rarity these days.
Check out this video of him speaking to a group in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. I especially like the lines, starting about 2:16 in, referring to the shocking lack of content in the entire Republican National Convention: "What do you talk about when you have nothing to say? What do you talk about when you cannot explain the last 8 years of failure?"
