Maybe they have a fetish for hair plugs?

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Given the reception Vice President Joe Biden received at a field office here Tuesday, it’s a wonder that he and the president are not faring better in the polls with seniors. It’s clear that Biden, at least, appears to be faring well with senior ladies.

Biden walked in for the surprise visit carrying a stack of large pizzas for the 80 or so volunteers – mostly women over 50 – who were gathered there, phone banking. The shrieks began within seconds: “Oh Jesus!” “Joe Biden’s here?” “Oh my God, oh, my God!”

“Oh Lord, please don’t let me faint,” Patrice Toliver said, a phone to her ear. She was in the middle of speaking with a voter, and was frantically trying to explain what was happening. “He’s coming into headquarters right now!” she exclaimed.

As Biden came closer, she abruptly hung up on the voter and stood still and silent and wide-eyed, seemingly shell-shocked.

“You’re the reason we’re going to win Ohio,” the vice president told the group.

One woman replied, “No, you’re the reason!”

Biden then began working the room, taking pictures, giving hugs, shaking hands, stroking faces.

“He’s so freakin’ personable!” said 74-year-old Ellen Wallace as she watched him greet people. “It’s unbelievable. He’s just a magnet.”
