writing this. what it takes junky, the best campaign book ever written, this is the sequel we all need. and i just want to read a quote from gary hart, which i think sums up what might be the most interesting take away from this. gary hart says it seems to me that president biden is less inclined in his recent years to be quick on the trigger rhetorically and argue mentively. in the early days he was known as a talker. he had an opinion on a whole variety of things. basically what gary hart was saying, look, back in 1987, the dude didn t shut up. he went on and on and on forever. that s a big change. yeah, absolutely. but i think to most students of joe biden and certainly people who have known him for a long time, it wasn t just 1987. as hart said in 2008 when barack obama chose biden to be his vice president hart said, oh, boy, this guy is going to talk a lot
