...solid and compelling. His father was a car salesman and his mother raised him, his two brothers and a sister. He went to school and practiced law in Delaware before running for local government and winning an upset Senate victory in 1972. While Christmas shopping a month later, his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident that also injured his two sons. Biden almost resigned, but was convinced by Senate leaders to take the position, and has commuted daily to Washington ever since...
Back in those snowy Iowa days, Biden was known for his blue-haired audiences. He would linger for hours, answering questions in a folksy way that seems to have an appeal to many white working class voters.

"On my own, I might have been able to buy a one-bedroom condo, but that would have been pushing it," says Kovack. Instead, he and Katz live in a 2,300-sq.-ft. (about 215 sq m) three-bedroom row house with stainless-steel appliances...
...appears to be a gift on the outside but is cunningly dangerous within. They find in his background and in what he leaves unsaid telltale signs of a radical. Obama has worked on education issues in Chicago with William Ayers and has visited the home of Ayers and his wife Bernadette Dohrn. Both were leaders of the violent, leftist Weather Underground. But the indictment of Obama framed by his opponents starts years earlier in Hawaii, with the black man who told Obama that a true friendship with his white grandfather wasn't possible. The man's name was Frank Marshall...
