>> how is that playing out there, mike? >> well, andrea, as you can see, the former vice president still working that rope line behind me, they just finished up in the last 20 minutes or so. i promise you, if the technology allowed, i would be up there trying to ask him questions, as you know. we've seen things we haven't seen so far on the seventh day of the "no malarky" tour. one is the endorsement of john kerry for his close friend joe biden, saying he wasn't here against anybody but for joe biden. we also saw joe biden back on the teleprompter for the first time on this seven-day tour. this "no malarky" tour, for all the jokes about the name, has been an important ramping up of the effort of the campaign to show commitment for the former vice president at a time when his polls have been slipping.
