This is a good post from Dr. Atrios about Joe Biden. Seems like he's bragging about his state being a "slave state".
Memo to Biden: I don't think this is the way you want to try and get the support of southern dems. ( Especially African-Americans)

I don't know what's wrong with the brains of these people:
Biden dismissed the notion that he was a
"Northeastern liberal" who would have a poor showing in the South against other
likely contenders such as Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and former Sen.John Edwards
of North Carolina, the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee."Better than
anybody else," Biden said, when asked on "Fox News Sunday" to rate his chances
of winning Southern states."You don't know my state," he said. "My state was a
slave state. My state is a border state. My state has the eighth-largest black
population in the country. My state is anything from a Northeast liberal
state."
