Don't feel bad! I know that your mother currently lives in Alabama, but I'm afraid I don't remember in which state you were born, or which one you think of as "home" besides Massachusetts.
I haven't actually thought of Delaware as home since I left there; Ithaca, NY feels like my hometown in a way that no place else ever has. But then, I was pretty much prevented from growing up while I was in Delaware, so Ithaca is the place where I began to grow up...
Biden has had a long history in elective office, and he has grown and changed over time, as I hope we all have! He's not the same guy now that he was in 1991, during the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings. It's been nearly 30 years since then, and he has learned a great deal in the intervening time. He's still not as liberal as I would like, but a candidate as liberal as *I* would like would never be elected.
Biden has given his personal phone number to total strangers once he's heard that they -- like he -- have lost a child. He has a great deal of compassion and IS teachable. I think that not only will he be a better president than Trump, I even think that he might become one of our better presidents.
