Vice President Joe Biden called to congratulate Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner

http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2013/11/vice_president_joe_biden_called_to_congratulate_syracuse_mayor_stephanie_miner.html#incart_river_default

At 9:02 p.m. - two minutes after the polls closed in Syracuse - Mayor Stephanie Miner's phone lit up with a call from the 202 area code.

"Is this Stephanie?" the voice on the other line said. "This is Joe Biden."

Miner said there was a pause.

Then, probably used to people thinking this was a big practical joke, he said, "The vice president of the United States, Joe Biden."
