Democratic vice presidential nominee Joseph Biden walked up to the lectern before an audience of nearly 2,000 in Flathead High School, and told the group gathered there they were “crazy” for crowding into a hot gymnasium to hear him speak on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
“A magnificent day like this, in the most magnificent place in the world,” the Delaware senator said. “I’d be outside, hiking or playing golf or something.”
But Biden stayed put, and over the next 45 minutes gave a rousing stump speech focused on healthcare, the economy, education, and praise for his party’s presidential nominee, Barack Obama.
