Biden to campaign in Southwest Virginia next week

Vice President Joe Biden will campaign in Southwest Virginia next week, according to President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign.

Biden is scheduled to hold events in “several cities in southern and southwest Virginia” on Tuesday, Aug. 14 and Wednesday, Aug. 15, the campaign said. Specific locations for the Biden stops have not been disclosed. Biden will campaign in North Carolina on Monday.

Obama made a campaign appearance in Roanoke last month and Republican candidate Mitt Romney held an event in Salem in June. Romney also will be in Virginia on Saturday, holding events in Norfolk, Ashland and Manassas.

    This will be better than Seinfeld! Can’t wait to find out how I can get a ticket to this clown’s show? This will be rich! I’d easily drop $100 to see him.

    1 – I wonder if he’ll bring his floppy shoes and big red nose?

    Not a bad move considering the best Romney could muster was an empty bus.

    Everyone should show up in wheelchairs… maybe he will ask us all to stand up?

    We should all go and do the ‘Villages’ dance when he starts to speak.

    #5 Do you often fake needing a wheelchair, MMM? Pretty sleazy.

    Never said that I am not wheelchair-confined, granddad….

    Are you calling people who are in wheelchairs “sleazy” ???

    Shows the type of ‘man’ you are, I guess…
