Biden to Michigan, SC for major Dem fundraisers

March 22, 2013 @ 9:27 am

WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Joe Biden will headline major Democratic fundraisers in South Carolina and Michigan, two states that could play a major role in the 2016 presidential election.

That's according to two people briefed on the fundraisers, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the trips haven't been publicly announced.

Biden will travel to Detroit in April to address the Michigan Democratic Party's annual Jefferson Jackson Dinner. He'll go to Columbia in May when South Carolina Democrats hold their dinner.

During presidential elections, the state party galas are frequent stops for candidates. South Carolina traditionally holds one of the first primaries of the season, with Michigan soon after.

Biden has not ruled out a presidential run in 2016. A spokeswoman for Biden declined to comment.

    with the evident level of competence of the 0bama administration, the middle class would very much prefer a different advocate.

    "If you give any one of these guys the keys to the White House, they will bankrupt the middle class," Biden said at a United Auto Workers hall in Toledo in the politically important state of Ohio.

    Nobody can deny this. But did everyone hear what the Dear Leader was calling us Americans? Flat earthers. I'm telling ya kids, this regime is in a complete meltdown. Tailspin! We Americans were supposed to be all lobotomized drones by now and we are not. The woman were supposed to be on Obama side. Limbaugh was supposed to be silenced by now. Nothing like what is happening today was supposed to be happening.

    This regime is floundering. Big time!

    And just how is the Obama Jobless "recovery" going? About 8.3 percent!

    In reality it is double that amount!

    its me, hpd and their butt buddy hnuh. Do you guys all live together? I hope you don't have a coronary in Nov. when YOUR President is re-elcted for 4 (four) more years. It's going to happen. Who is your candidate this week? Who are you guys going to vote for? Speak up! Tell us who and why. I'm willing to bet not one of these cheese heads will answer this post. Because there isn't a candidate qualified to take Obama's place.

    Romney in a landslide/mandate election. Why, because Obama failed to lead and you can't eat "Hope and Change." As a professional courtesy, I would expect Romney to also Pardon Obama for the things we will inevitably discover before and after January.
