As of 12:25pm EST - we packed off Joe Biden to share him with the rest of the country

[LynneSin]

Take good care of him.

We had a great turnout at the New Castle County airport. He should be touching down in Illinois in about an hour from now.

1. I really like this pride and enthusiasm

Delawarians (?) are showing for the favorite son. It says a lot.

15. Delawarianiacs??

2. Congratulations.

You should be really proud of your Senator. I look forward to getting to know him better!

:hi:

3. Did you get any pictures?

I wish Obama and Biden will come to California soon.

[LynneSin]

7. No not of him. There was a large crowd that started to gather at his house

but by then I was at home and asleep. And I got to the airport just in time to see him get in the plane.

But both his house and airport got large turnouts. At the Airport there was a large group of Union folks there to wish him off (I think it was AFSCME) but there was about 30 of them with green union t-shirts on.

6. I got a little misty when, on MSNBC, they were describing the scene.

They spoke of people on Delaware overpasses waving American flags, with signs reading "We love you, Joe!" and "Thank you Joe, for putting Delaware on the map!"

I heart America.

8. It warms my heart that he was so beloved in your State. I'd be sad to

see him go.

:patriot:

9. Thanks for your excellent coverage last night (early morning)

and I have to agree, the love Delaware has for Joe is making me misty eyed as I type! I am ecstatic that he will be our VEEP. CNN just said he has more knowledge of foreign policy thatn ANYONE in the United States. This from CNN!

[gateley]

17. I hope they start saying that "that he has more knowledge of foreign

policy than ANYONE in the United States) over at FOX! :evilgrin: Not holding my breath! :hi:

10. Will do and thank you.

[Beaverhausen]

11. Now I can tell people I'm a University of Delaware graduate with pride!!!

GO JOE!!!

[Bucky]

12. Did he safely get past the Delaware toll booths? I hear sometimes they can suck dry

:)

[LynneSin]

19. Ok smartass - perhaps you should learn WHERE the tollbooths are

because for most of us Delawareans we really don't see tollbooths that often unless we're visiting Jersey or taking the 'easy' way down to the beach. I visited my family down at the beach last weekend and didn't pay one single toll. And very rare that Delawareans pay that stupid toll into Maryland, we get on 95 from Newark to Elkton.

13. Thanks for representing, LynneSin

Glad you were there at the airport.

He's our local boy!
:patriot:

(although I don't think this will stop people from asking "what state is Delaware in?")

[Shakespeare]

14. Congrats, Lynne--I know you're over the moon about this!

And I think Obama made a great choice. :thumbsup:

[butterfly77]

16. I've been waiting for some pictures...

[Frustratedlady]

18. Thank you! We're going to lift him right into the White House with Obama!

What an exciting election this is going to be, but an even better future for America!

20. LynneSin, check the DE board -

You already have my sincere thanks and profound gratitude for giving our nation one HELL of a Veep! :hug:
