Vice President Joe Biden made a campaign stop in Merrimack, N.H on Saturday, concluding a two-day campaign swing through the Granite State. Biden, speaking before a crowd of about 500, took shots at Mitt Romney’s “47 percent” comments.
“Ladies and gentlemen, he genuinely believes this. Just look at what they are proposing,” Biden told the crowd. “How can someone have such a profound misunderstanding of the American people?”

“Mitt Romney has made his decision; now Congressman Meehan’s votes for the Ryan plan to privatize Medicare are all the more real, serious, and dangerous,” said George Badey, who spoke alongside fellow congressional candidates Katherine Boockvar and Manan Trivedi.
Badey is challenging Meehan in a district centered in Delaware County; Trivedi is taking on Gerlach in a Chester County-based district, and Boockvar opposes Fitzpatrick in a Bucks County-centered race. All three challengers seized on budgets Ryan has crafted as chairman of the House Budget Committee.Badey is challenging Meehan in a district centered in Delaware County; Trivedi is taking on Gerlach in a Chester County-based district, and Boockvar opposes Fitzpatrick in a Bucks County-centered race.
