FROM BARACK OBAMA'S WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER:

Banners, flags, handmade signs and hundreds of Iowans greeted Jill Biden for the final, and biggest, event of her inaugural campaign swing through The Hawkeye State yesterday. For her grand finale, Jill showed her true Biden colors, leaving the podium and her notes behind in the name of a looser style. This was her crowd, the Biden Base in Iowa, and she caught them up on the events of the family since the caucus with a smile and a friendly lean on the podium.
She emphasized the cohesiveness of their family behind the acceptance of the VP offer and her belief that things really do work out for the best. Her sunny disposition and delivery meant that as she made her way through the room, the hugs and conversations on the floor took on the feel of a family reunion. As everyone, including Dr. Biden, turned toward the rest of their weekend and the remaining days of the campaign, the sun did come out after so many days of rain.
