The politically obsessed among us couldn't help but notice that among the fairly small group invited to "join Vice President Joe Biden, his family and close political associates at the vice president's residence for his offical swearing-in ceremony yesterday" was Gov. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire. And, "the night before, Biden attended a pre-inaugural party of Democrats from Iowa."
Iowa. New Hampshire. Get it?
A reminder that Billy Herndon, once said of his law partner, Abe Lincoln: "His ambition was a little engine that knew no rest."
