Yes, I got that after searching for that. But who outside the Beltway would even dream of knowing that? The article is worthless Biden bashing anyway. -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 07:46 11

  - It’s portrayed as a news article. It’s hand-wringing about changing the primary to South Carolina. Didn’t make it 6 paragraphs before invoking Kennedy - Qale Jul 5, 08:06 3

      - They should state after the byline more often stuff like that. Maybe even include if they’ve ever been a head-in-a-box on TV too. -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 08:15 1

    - 50 Baron points for Beak. I was wondering who would reference that first. -- nm - Coach Bearond Jul 5, 07:59
    - Nice. Man, imagine actual political discussion on TV. Those were the days. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 07:57
  - I would guess any political talk show would mention it at some point. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 07:49
- I knew. My dad was into state politics when I was growing up. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 07:48
