Buzz up!Twitter FarkIt Type Size A A A WASHINGTON -- Vice President Joe Biden had some “practical” advice on family and commuting to Washington from Delaware, Sen.-elect Chris Coons said today.

He said make it as physically uncomfortable as possible to spend the night,” said Coons, who will keep his Delaware home and commute on Amtrak as Biden did for decades.


While there will be pressures to stay in Washington, Coons said Biden warned that, “if you get a nice comfortable place, the first year it’s one night a week, the next year it’s two nights a week… Four years from now, you’ll miss every game your son plays.


“I thought that was very insightful,” he said.

I'm guessing if that idiot O'Donnell had won she would have moved her ass on down to DC so she could join the partiers. I realize it's impossible for most senators to commute to work everyday but I do like that our senators & congressional rep take advantage of that. BTW, Mike Castle also commuted too.
