Delaware native counts on Biden for the truth
I am a native of Delaware, and have had the privilege of voting for Joe Biden. He was always a strong advocate for women, health care, education and families. One of the reasons I feel so strongly that he should be our next president is, whatever the issue, we could always count on Biden to tell us the truth.

His experience on the Foreign Relations Committee has made him uniquely qualified for the problems our country is facing today. He already has established relationships with many world leaders.

As evidenced by recent legislation, he has the ability to work with members of both parties.

Biden proved his ability to lead early on in his career when, as a young county council member, he stood up to all of the big oil, gas and chemical companies when they wanted to continue building chemical plants along the coast of Delaware. This was a very difficult challenge. He stood up and was counted as someone who would make the difficult, but the right choice for his state. Delaware has one the most beautiful and preserved coastlines on the East Coast because of his action.

It says something about a candidate when their constituents support him/her. They've had the opportunity to experience the results of that person representing them. If the people this person represents feel as though s/he has let them down, what would they do as President? This is an endorsement for Biden from someone who KNOWS.

1. Yeah, it is a drastic contrast to Rudy's constituents
I've rarely heard anything negative about Biden from Delaware.

2. I'm not sure Huckabee's constituents are too thrilled with him, either. nt

3. That's for sure
What is breaking news about Huckabee nationally, is common knowledge down in Arkansas. He is NOT the nice guy that comes across on TV.
