Biden in Missouri this week
Vice President Joe Biden will be in Missouri this week, however, exactly where and when that is going to be is still somewhat unclear.
It has been confirmed that Biden, who last appeared in Missouri on the campaign trail for a debate with 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, will be at the University of Missouri-St. Louis on Friday to give a lecture on college affordability called "Making College More Affordable for Our Families." The location and time have not been released.
According to a White House news release, Biden's appearance is the third of a series of meetings of the Middle Class Task Force. The release stated that Biden should make an appearance in Central Missouri sometime on Thursday to discuss implementation of federal stimulus dollars.
If I were a betting reporter (which I am not) I would put some money on the idea that Biden's staff might choose a city where a large crowd came out for his campaign appearance, and an even bigger one for an appearance by his running mate. Somewhere like, maybe, Columbia?
Keep checking back with us for the latest on this appearance.
