He had me at Seamus Heaney [View all]

I pulled this up to review the quote Joe used in his speech last night--which, by the way, did not involve teleprompters--and I didn't notice him looking at notes, did you?
He said he often thinks of it and he used it before in a speech in Northern Ireland.
We used a Seamus Heaney poem in our wedding, so I have a little soft spot.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
