Live Blogging Joe Biden Speech

10:27 Biden's son is introducing him.

It's Beau Biden.

10:30: Here comes Joe. To bad music. The song is Pink Houses. Good thing they didn't pick Hurts So Good.

10:33: Joe throws props to the Clintons.

10:34: Delaware is in the house.

10:34: Biden accepts the nomination. Boy, I didn't see that coming.

1035: Biden jokes that the Vice-President will not answer the phone at 3:00 AM.

Biden: Giving up is unforgivable.

10:37: Mama Biden sent Joe to keep getting his ass kicked as a kid.

10:38 Biden is delivering a working class message. Obama needs to appeal to these voters.

10:39 Intentionally confusing Bush with McCain. Audience eats it up.

10:40 Biden: McCain doesn't seem to get it.

10:41 Biden ties Obama into working class message. Biden talks about being raised by a single mother and his work in Chicago.

10:43: Biden: We have the power to change it.

10:45: Biden: That's not change - that's more the same.

10:47: Obama can create 5 million new jobs?

10:48: Yes! Equal pay for women!

10:50: Biden correctly calls Bush's foreign policy a failure.

10:51: On Afghanistan: Obama right and McCain wrong.

Biden is attacking McCain's judgement. Democrats need to hammer this message.

10:53: Biden is a hell of a lot better than Edwards and Lieberman were at the convention. That isn't saying much. That said, Biden nailed it.

10:56: Obama is in the house.

10:57: Obama thinks the convention is going well. That's debatable.

11:00: Here comes the photo op.
