Jill Biden tiptoes into 2012 Election
October 1, 2012
Think of everyone you associate with the White House right now.
Who comes to mind? First Lady Michelle Obama or maybe Vice President Joe Biden, I'm quite sure Barack Obama was first and foremost in your mind but who is missing here? That's right, the lovely lady of Mr. Biden, Jill Biden, the wife we've never heard about.
Mrs. Biden is an English teacher at a community college and the stepmother of a soldier in Iraq. She has not been heard from since the campaigning started back in 2008 but she has been coming out of her shell as we are getting closer to election day. According to Donovan Slack of Politico.com, the Obama campaign Adviser, David Axelrod says they are trying to use her, "real-world experiences to connect teachers, veterans, military families and women," these are possible voters that could really swing the vote the Obama way.
The reason for the separation of Mrs. Biden from the spotlight is her commitment to her students and stage fright in front of those who are not her students. Also stated in the article Jill Biden, "... really doesn't like politics." Though she is a 'newbie' to this campaign trail and public spotlight she could be a real asset to the running party and a booster to their overall popularity. Mitt needs a new trick up his sleeve and FAST!
