Vice President Joe Biden will come to Reno on Thursday, according to the Obama 2012 campaign, right before Nevada Democratic Party’s presidential caucuses next weekend.
The caucuses on Jan. 21 are much less hotly contested than the Republican Party’s caucuses, which are scheduled for Feb. 4. Republican presidential candidates, who are still slugging it out in South Carolina and Florida, haven’t swung through Nevada since mid-October.
Biden’s visit to Reno is on official White House business, but will likely function nonetheless as the marquee event of a week of efforts to stir up support for the Obama campaign before the Democratic party officially endorses President Barack Obama’s reelection effort by popular vote as well.
The campaign didn’t release any further details about Biden’s visit. Biden was in Las Vegas as recently as this summer, seeking support from the Teamsters and pitching the merits of developing renewable energy, on two separate occasions.
Biden was last in Reno in 2010, when he spoke at a rally at UNR to drum up support for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just before the midterm elections, when he narrowly defeated Sharron Angle to win a fifth term.
Reno appears to be the only Nevada stop Biden will make on his tour.
Obama is the only candidate the Democratic party is considering at their caucuses next Saturday.
This household is 99.99% sure it will NOT be voting again for "Change we can believe in".
Regardless of who you are supporting for next President - I cannot stop but think.
Obama is very good at campaigning.
What will he do with all his time in a 2nd term?
Play Golf?
Travel Lavishly?
So far, he spends about 99.99 per cent of his time and his staff time campaigning and not working with others for the American people.
I'll support any candidate that can allow me to switch my health insurance from one state to another without facing a tripling of rates. $275 to $1,100 per month. NJ ($275) to Nevada ($1,100)
We always welcome Joe Biden to Nevada.
Joe is the man!
YES WE CAN!
TomD1228......
Just don't vote republicon.
Those greedy republicons plan on stealing your
health care from you.
We always welcome Joe Biden to Nevada.
Joe is the man!
YES WE CAN!
You lose credibility with that statement.
Lets see the Taliban is our friend.
You Sharron Angle republicans are gonna vote for Romney right? Right??
Heh.
Who questions the validity of these campaign trips being "official White House business"? And, it is amazing how the White Hose feels more comfortable up North than in Southern Nevada; is it due to Vegans being wiser to their antics, or is it due to Reno not just counting in the overall scheme of things. Biden will be replaced, and Nevadans should not forget, ever, how the White House put our State and citizens in the Poor House!
DINO or RINO national politicians: blah blah blah
"Biden's visit to Reno is on official White House business..." and what might that official White House business be? Hmmmmm? More destruction of the America we all use to know? Maybe gather up some campaign contributions from the local unions?
Just remember this, don't go to Reno and blow a pile of cash. Give it to the Federal Government, they know much better than you how to spend your money.
