Biden speaks to NAACP•HOUSTON — Vice President Joe Biden rallied support for President Barack Obama before the nation’s largest civil rights organization Thursday, declaring that Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s agenda would hurt working families in the black community.
Biden, appearing at the NAACP’s convention one day after Romney addressed the group, offered what amounted to a rebuttal as both campaigns sought support from a key constituency in several swing states.
Biden predictably drew a more rousing reception as he outlined differences between Obama and Romney on health care, education, energy, women’s rights and research. “I believe this election will come down to character, conviction and vision. And it will not surprise you — I don’t think it’s even a close call,” Biden said. The Associated Press
