The outgoing president looked unconvinced arsenic his erstwhile brag tried to reassure him as they huddled astatine the Catholic Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle successful DC.

'I know...that's true...we person time,' Obama said weakly.

But interest astatine the VP's floundering run stretches from the apical to the bottommost of the enactment and has erupted successful Pennsylvania wherever 19 of the astir keenly contested electoral assemblage votes are astatine involvement successful a authorities that is important to the Democrats' chances of victory.

The authorities has been swamped with governmental ads aft the rival campaigns bought $500 cardinal worthy of TV airtime betwixt them.
