A snippet from the pool report:

Biden told the crowd it was a political year, and many political pundits were making predictions. He then gave a few of his own, including one that played to his Nebraska audience: “The Big Red is going to make a run for the Big 12. Watch out Texas and Oklahoma.”
He also predicted that the pundits were wrong, and that Democrats would keep the majority in both houses of Congress.”We’re going to pick up some House seats nobody expected us to get, just like this one here (in Nebraska),” said Biden.
Biden acknowledged that the electorate was “angry,” and he said they had a reason to be angry with the economy. But, he said, the economic woes that the nation was due to former President Bush.
When President Obama took office, the nation had already lost 3 million jobs during the previous six months. And, in the six months after Obama took office, the nation lost another 3 million jobs, said Biden.
He said the Obama administration was “turning things around.”
“The economy has grown four successive quarters,” said Biden. He also defended the Obama administration health-care package, saying that something needed to be done to reign in health-care costs. He said 47 cents of every dollar spent on health care is federal dollars, via spending on Medicare and Medicaid.
