Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden told reporters in Lima, Ohio last night that Sen. John McCain “never gives up” and that the election is closer than people think.
This election is going to be a lot closer than everybody thinks it is,†Biden said. “I think it’s going to be close in Florida, it’s going to be close here, it’s going to be close in Missouri, I think it’s going to close – I don’t think it will be that close in Pennsylvania, I feel very good about Pennsylvania.â€
“I think it’s going to be close in North Carolina, um, you know, Virginia feels really good but, you know, it ain’t till it happens,†he laughed. “We’re going everywhere. Montana, Arizona, I mean we’re everywhere we can be.â€
McCain, he said, isn’t going away quietly. “One of the things I’ve admired about John, and I’ve considered him — why I’ve considered him a friend. He does, he never gives up,†said Biden. “I just hope when it’s over, win or lose, you walk up and you shake hands and say John, we’ve got a lot of work to do.â€
