He does have a sob story abou the start of his career that will be a tear jerker in his bio film shown at the Dem convention. His wife and infant daughter died in a terrible car crash and his two sons were injured in it back when he was 29 years old and was first elected to the Senate. He had not even begun to serve yet when the accident happened.
He commuted from DC back to Deleware every night and raised his two boys himself after his wifes death.
I dread the next few months as I can't stand watching this guy. He thinks he is the smartest man in the world. In Senate hearings he makes me want to throw up.

That's why this year's tentative choices are so awful: Both McCain and Obama are senators. And what is a senator? A grandstanding blowhard. I guess senators get so much attention that it affects their self-perception of their political and leadership abilities - it's the only thing that can explain why so many of them run for president when so few senators have been elected president. Our presidents have mostly been governors and generals.
There isn't a grain of executive experience between the three of them. I would say that this would give McCain a leg up if a picks a governor for veep, but Kerry/Edwards got
millions of votes in spite of their similar combined lack of executive experience.
Rush Limbaugh played a clip Thursday of a Biden campaign commercial from 1992, where the theme was a harsh critique of inexperience. Rush believes he's going to get a lot of mileage out of old Biden sound bites.
If America will elect two bumbling fools to lead us, America will get the leadership she deserves.
