Yes both men did: Delaware (Biden) and Illinois (Obama) both went for the president in the 2012 election.
Joe Biden, of Delaware
Joseph Biden , the incumbent is running for another term as VP.
Senator Joe Biden of Delaware.
In the 2008 election, presidential candidate Barack Obama chose Joe Biden (then a senator from Delaware) as his running mate. In 2012, President Obama has kept the same running mate, the current vice president, Joe Biden.
Yes - Joseph Biden of Delaware.
Democrat - Barack H. Obama (Illinois) VP: Joe Biden (Delaware) Republican - Mitt Romney (Massachusetts) VP: Paul Ryan Independent - Gary Johnson (New Mexico)
No. President Barrack Obama is the leader of the government. Vice President Joe Biden is the leader of the Senate.
When this question was originally asked, Mr. Obama was still a senator from Illinois. Although he was born in Hawaii, he never ran for office from that state. He moved to Illinois in the mid-1980s, and represented the Chicago area in the state legislature; when he became a US senator, he was a senator from Illinois. And even as president, he and Michelle still have a home in Chicago and they go back there sometimes to visit friends.
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania and later became a senator for Delaware.
No. He selected former Delaware senator Joseph (Joe) Biden as Vice President in 2008, and Mr. Biden is the same person President Obama selected in 2012. So both President Obama and Vice President Biden will be serving two terms in office.
McCain's running mate was Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska; Obama's was Joseph Biden, Senator from Delaware.
