http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/22/19094033-biden-plays-closer-in-massachusetts-senate-race?liteVice President Joe Biden played the role of closer for Democrats in Massachusetts, becoming the latest in a long list of party leaders who have trekked to the Bay State ahead of Tuesdays special election to fill the seat vacated by now-Secretary of State John Kerry.
President Obama has campaigned here in recent weeks, as have first lady Michelle Obama and a bevy of other high-profile Democratic leaders. Biden aimed to put an exclamation point on the effort Saturday, when he stumped for the Democratic nominee, Rep. Ed Markey, and urged labor leaders not to take victory for granted.
Theres no reason why this guy shouldn't walk to victory, Biden said of Markey, telling activists to please go out and knock on that extra door.
Dont put yourself in the position, at 10 oclock next Tuesday night, saying God, if I had just done that extra block,' said the vice president.
