The are some serious Biden fans here in the sunshine state! Six of 12 Obama endorsements from Florida papers have singled out Joe Biden as a big reason for the endorsement. So it wasn’t surprising that so many Florida State University students chose to spend their Sunday cheering on Joe as he rallied supporters in Tallahassee today.
He explained that he and Barack are dedicated to reaching across the aisle, and urged the audience to do the same in their lives. In a nearby parking lot, McCain supporters had chants and a siren going. Joe addressed them as well, saying that he would try to talk loud enough for them to hear, and that he hoped the politics of division will soon come to an end:
We cannot regain our place in the world so that once again we can lead the world unless we do one more thing: We have to unite this country. We cannot stay blue and red, we cannot. We cannot stay divided. Ladies and gentleman we can't strengthen the economy if we are pitted one against another, we can't move past the politics of division unless after this election is over, if God willing we win, we reach out to the very people out in the outer parking lot... We've got to reach out. We've got to end this. Somebody's got to be big enough to stand up and end this.
