Biden And The Gushing Women...
By DONOVAN SLACK | 10/23/12 SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- Given the reception Vice President Joe Biden received at a field office here Tuesday, it's a wonder that he and the president are not faring better in the polls with seniors. It's clear that Biden, at least, appears to be faring well with senior ladies.
Biden walked in for the surprise visit carrying a stack of large pizzas for the 80 or so volunteers – mostly women over 50 – who were gathered there, phone banking. The shrieks began within seconds: “Oh Jesus!” “Joe Biden’s here?” “Oh my God, oh, my God!”
“Oh Lord, please don’t let me faint,” Patrice Toliver said, a phone to her ear. She was in the middle of speaking with a voter, and was frantically trying to explain what was happening. “He’s coming into headquarters right now!” she exclaimed.
As Biden came closer, she abruptly hung up on the voter and stood still and silent and wide-eyed, seemingly shell-shocked.
“You’re the reason we’re going to win Ohio,” the vice president told the group.
One woman replied, “No, you’re the reason!”
Biden then began working the room, taking pictures, giving hugs, shaking hands, stroking faces.
“He’s so freakin’ personable!” said 74-year-old Ellen Wallace as she watched him greet people. “It’s unbelievable. He’s just a magnet.”
One woman approached him and without so much as a hello, gushed, “I have a cup o’ Joe every morning.” This reporter could not hear his reply, but a colleague insisted that Biden then experienced a rare moment of speechlessness.
As he approached the third row, where a group of four women sat, he told them a few things about his mother.
“The good Lord created two perfect women: the Blessed Mother and my mom,” he said.

One old biddy was misquoted. She meant to say Biden was a maggot...not a magnet.
You and me both MS - however, we both know some old biddies like this;) They have been pampered and propped up by one or more men their whole lives - starting with Daddy.
Now they just want the ‘Nanny State’ to take care of them. Screw our children and grandchildren who will be paying for it. Selfish, senile, stupid socialists.
And I had that all ready to post, LOL.
They were probably member of this WORTHLESS outfit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Society
I think it is more that some women, well, most women, never had any common sense or seriousness to begin with. What’s striking to me with this article is that age and experience does not seem to change this.
