With six days to go before the Iowa Caucuses, Joe Biden finally has a hot date for the last several Caucus Countdown events.
Not that his wife Jill isn’t totally smokin’, nor is this to discount the dedication of his entire family as they fan out over Iowa to hit several dozen meetings as his surrogates. But when you’ve got competitors hanging out with Oprah, Tim Robbins, and Barbara Streisand (wtf?), it’s nice to finally have a familiar TV face on the campaign trail. I couldn’t ask for much better, save maybe President Bartlett himself.
Toby Ziegler, a.k.a. Richard Schiff in real life, will be campaigning with Biden starting tonight. West Wing nerds, rejoice and be glad. Whether this will overpower the bizarre notion in the mainstream media that somehow being married to Bill has magically made seventh-year Senator Hillary a Pakistan expert all of a sudden remains to be seen, but I hope a lot of Iowans enjoyed all seven seasons of the show as much as I did.
