Biden His Time for the Bedford 400

Joe Biden’s running for president. Dick Cheney isn’t. And Independence Day weekend has them both angling for photo ops.
Poor Joe Biden’s campaign has to settle for making news at the Bedford Village Inn in New Hampshire. Nice place, but not the sort of fabulous high-profile settings the VP has enjoyed in recent days.
- Catching the Pepsi 400 NASCAR race in Daytona, where he got “loud cheers” and a “standing ovation from the drivers and their crews and his excited staff took pictures with Dale Earnhardt Jr.”
- Visiting the Kennedy Space Center
- Throwing out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals home opener.
- -Touring a Harley-Davidson factory in Kansas City
- -Visiting the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
So the question is — which of the below two places is a more glamourous setting for launching a national campaign?

Yes, but Florida and Kansas as of now do not have first dibs on primaries.

Do not bet farm on Cheney not running for President. In 2000, he wasn’t being ‘mentioned’ for VP, either!
Lots of GOP interest groups like him better than W!
