In the clip below windbag extraordinaire and 2008 Presidential hopeful Joe Biden brags about how his home state of Delaware was a slave state.  That is his twisted rationale for why he thinks he can be successful in the south in ‘08.  The effete northerners think that the civil war was all about slavery, not state’s rights, and therefore they think that their slave owning background gives them points with southern voters.  Come on!

As a slight aside, my wife and I used to live in northeastern MD, just one county away from Delaware.  Although I was still technically south of the Mason Dixon Line I was essentially in the north.  Let me tell you, there are considerably more bigoted people in that part of the country than in Alabama.  I lived near a town that was a slave trapping village during the Civil War era.  It is strategically positioned along a major river for capturing people using the Underground Railroad.  The community is still lily white and I heard, and had no reason to disbelieve, that there was an active KKK presence there.
