What makes Biden such a great campaigner? I think it is his fight. He's got more that a little

[applegrove]

bit of the scrappy guy in him, the type of person who inspires others to back him. Reminds me of former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, "the little guy from Shawinigan". And a little bit of anger (or fight) goes a long way towards voters voting, encouraging others to gregariously get out and vote, and not ceding their power to the other side.

1. Genuinely likes people and he feels life has dealt him a fair hand

Which is kind of remarkable given what he's been through.

He really wants everybody to have a chance; it's no bull. Great guy...don't get me started.

2. +1...

it is hard to not like Joe.

3. I met him at the Denver convention, and agree with you completely.

He really does like people. He's not a phony act. If he messes up from time to time, he owns up to it, and tries not to do it again. He is NOT a bush-like "can't think of a single mistake he has made." Neither is Obama for that matter, but Joe Biden is truly comfortable with people and it radiates from him.

Not like Romney's pained "is this going to be over soon?" expression when he has to face normal mortals.

4. His heart

He genuinely cares about people. It's not an easy thing to find in a politician.
