Stating the obvious, Joe!

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.
