The Takeaway checks in with Democratic skeptics of the Obama-Biden ticket
Not all Democrats have been wooed by Obama?or, for that matter, Biden. On occasion of Barack Obama’s selection of running mate Joe Biden, we check in with two Hillary Clinton supporters for their thoughts. Maggie Wellington and John Vivo say the buzz around Biden is just a big ?ho-hum.? And they say this is a widespread feeling in their northeast slice of the swing state of Ohio. Guests: Maggie Wellington, a middle school teacher in Boardman, a suburb of Youngstown, OH; John Vivo, a floral designer who lives in Youngstown, OH
