Delaware's senior United States Senator, Joseph R. Biden, Jr. has been nominated for the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket. The Chamber is fortunate to have a diverse and politically engaged membership many of whom ardently support the Obama/Biden ticket and many of whom strongly support the McCain/Palin candidacy.
Regardless of where we fall in the political spectrum, we can all agree that having a Delawerean nominated for one of the two highest offices in the land for the first time in the history of our great nation is a positive development for the First State. Senator Biden's nomination is an acknowledgement of a truly remarkable career in the United States Senate.
Delaware's involvement does not end there. Both Obama's and McCain's campaign managers attended the University of Delaware. In fact, Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, grew up in Delaware and is a graduate of St. Mark's High School. Mr. Plouffe attended the University as a political science major between 1983 and 1988. McCain's campaign manager, Steve Schmidt, also a political science major, attended the University between 1988 and 1993.
