The polital figure I chose to research was Senator Joe Biden who represents Delaware, he is the longest serving Senator. Delaware is a Democratic state. I mainly saught information from his own site http://biden.senate.gov/. This site is very good for details on his life and his polital beliefs and aims.
Biden, one of four children was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He and his family then moved to Delaware when he was 10. He later went on to graduate from Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware and, in 1965, from the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. He then attended Syracuse University College of Law, graduated in 1968, and was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969. In 1966, while in law school, Biden married his first wife Neilia Hunter. They had three children together. In 1977, Biden married Jill Tracy Jacobs. They have one child.
He has strong issues against Arms Control and Domestic Violence. Sen. Biden's landmark Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was signed into law in 1994 and has has provided over $3.8 billion dollars to combat domestic violence and sexual assault nationwide. He also has very strong views on the prevention of drug use and to assist users to break the habbit. Other issues he stands for are Amtrak, Crime, Defense, Education, Environment, Energy, Health Care, Homeland Security,The War in Iraq and many more issues...
I would vote this politition, as we share similar views on all he stands for. Also being a Democrat, is another good reason of why I would vote for him, as I prefer their policies compared to the Republicans.

Just a quick comment really to say that this post was really interesting as I have never even heard of this candidate before. It was helpful as I learned some basic background information about him and then where he stands politically. We see what his policies are and how he intends to hopefully win the election. Now I have a fuller understanding of the presidential race as a whole.
