Joe Biden may be a much more valuable asset as Obama begins to campaign for the 2012 presidential election than previously thought. In a recent speech to New York University students Biden praised Obama’s foregin policy efforts and used the opportunity to paint Romney’s policies as outdated and that implementing Romney’s policies would lead us into situation similar to the current one we are in with Iraq a position that is unpopular with the majority of the population according to the latest 2012 polls. This is one of five speeches that the Vice President has made highlighting key moments of the last four years and we are just beginning to see why you shouldn’t underestimate Biden’s campaigning skill.
Foreign Policy and Domestic Relatability
Biden is originally from Scranton PA. and his far reaching populist support is going to become more useful than ever when connecting to the needs of blue collar workers from the rust belt and as the current swing states polls show tight races in those areas this influence will be vital. In addition to the boost he can bring by relating to middle class voters in swing states Vice President Biden also has extensive foreign policy experience from working on the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee. So when Joe Biden begins to make campaign stops along the 2012 election map battle ground states don’t underestimate his ability to boost Obama’s ratings in the Obama vs Romney polls.
