Jill Biden Exclusive on The Insider

She’s an amazing woman and devoted wife and mother who married Senator Joe Biden when his two boys were little —- survivors of a tragic car crash that killed Biden’s first wife and baby daughter years ago.
Jill Biden Addresses Iowa Crowd
She’s a stunning Linda Evans look-a-like (remember “Dallas”) and the only mother Biden’s grown sons remember well, and they claim they asked her to marry them all.
Even less well known: it was Jill and family who talked Biden into running for President, before he dropped out earlier this year, after a low showing in the Iowa primary. I heard her tell NPR that they felt he was the only candidate qualified to be President — and now Veep– and urged him to run.
Often, it’s the other way around, with political brides sighing, “Oh, no, not again.”
Now, with her husband as Barack Obama’s co-pilot, she’s hitting the trail every weekend for Obama-Biden, taking time off as a college professor of English to stump the heartland for the man she loves and the ticket she believes in.
We caught up with her in Iowa last week, where she was campaigning with press secretary Chris Mather and another Biden politico dynamo, Valerie Biden Owens, who helped run her brother’s earlier campaign and sizzles with sound bites.
We met an elated Valerie at the Democratic convention in Denver, emerging from the VIP skybox after her brother spoke with another gorgeous Biden– daughter Ashley, 27, a Delaware social worker who campaigns for Dad as well.
We sensed they were eager to tell us all about the senator they love and admire, but needed the campaign’s ok…More family personalities we’re looking forward to hearing from.

Art I saw the interview on Insider and thought she was a very nice and classy lady.
She had the grace to be fair to her husband’s opponent and was not afraid to say that Sarah’s children should be off limits.
Now if she can teach Michelle a little about how being graceful. Just as I started to like her (MIchelle), she came out with these nasty remarks about her husband’s opponent, Sarah.
Michelle and Barack are clearly to inexperienced to deal with the hard issues, their emotions and personal feelings get in the way too easily.
Sarah has proven that she is cool, calm and collected under pressure during the convention and the interview with that pig Gibson.

Yes, she does look like Linda Evans, but Linda Evans was Krystle Carrington on DYNASTY, not Dallas, whose leading woman was also a Linda, the equally lovely Linda Gray.
