Vice President Joe Biden is pouncing on Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney in swing state Ohio, casting him as a corporate raider more interested in making profits than in the needs of workers.

In a speech set for delivery Wednesday in Youngstown, Ohio, Biden strikes hard at Romney, picking up on an attack line set this week in ads by the Obama campaign and by a super political action committee supporting the president’s re-election.

(snip)
The vice president specifically singles out Romney’s tenure at Boston-based Bain Capital, a private equity firm Romney co-founded, and the fate of a Kansas City, Mo., steel mill that failed after Bain purchased it 19 years ago.

“Everyone lost their jobs,” Biden says.

8. Yikes! We'll have to find a different word then. Vampires are too popular right now.

He could run on that alone, if he wanted the dewy-eyed girls vote.

9. I love it when Biden gets into his campaign mode.

He is at heart a genuine "regular Joe" and identifies deeply with the common man because those are his roots. Go, Joe, go!
