Biden scheduled to teach Widener class on Saturday
By ESTEBAN PARRA • The News Journal • August 22, 2008

Linda Ammons, dean of the Widener University School of Law, said students enrolled in a class scheduled to be taught at 9 a.m. Saturday by U.S. Sen. Joe Biden won’t be getting an excused absence.


“The class will take place tomorrow,” Ammons said. “We don’t know just yet whether the senator will be here. A lot of it is contingent on what happens later today and tomorrow.”

Biden has been teaching at the Talleyville university since 1991. The nearly two hour course, “Selected Topics in Constitutional Law,” is taught by Biden and Robert Hayman, who would fill in if the senator is unable to make it.

Ammons said she spoke to Biden Thursday for about 20 minutes about the class and other topics, including the death of Democrat Illinois U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones.

Biden and Ammons tried to work out a schedule if he is Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama’s pick to run for vice president. But she said he did not give any indication if that was happening.

Biden has taught the class even when running for office.

1. so at least at 9am we'll know whether he's teaching....nt

3. It's just freaky to think the future VP's house is a bike ride away from mine

Although I think my representative Mike Castle lives closer to me - we shop at the same grocery story. Bidens probably shops at Jansens.

2. You're missing the point, Obama will be in Springfield IL on Sat WITH his VP.

So if Biden ain't in Springfield on Saturday, he ain't the VP.

But this article isn't saying that. Who knows?

Edit: This was meant to be in response to joeisoneofus.

4. um, I understand that, my point was whether he's teaching

will just be another clue that will lead to more speculation. The rally in Springfield is early afternoon, right? If he's teaching at 9am, he's probably not going to Springfield, if he's not teaching, either he's in Springfield or Obama campaign asked him to keep the suspense up (that would be pushing it).
