    He was sincere, Biden's wife and year-old daughter were killed in an automobile accident and his two boys were hurt very badly but have recuperated.

    He is a pretty sincere and down to earth guy and kind of funny. I had him as a teacher in law school.

    Inquisitive minds want to know...

    his wife was killed in 1972 and he remarried in 1977

    Yes he was a single parent for five years....but that was 30 years ago

    A lot has changed since then

    I think it was a "sincere" tactic

    I'm sure he can't lie about it. It would be easy for the media and other sectors to check if he has been a single parent.

    At the same time, I have this feeling that it's a way of showing his soft side. Sarah Palin has successfully done that.

    In an election, you gotta do what you gotta do to win.

    I think it's both. When Biden's wife died I'm sure it was agonizing, and he and his sons had some tough times as a result. Mentioning his wife's death in a debate format is indeed a tactic, even though the emotion is sincere.

    It was both, I suspect. A good moment for him.
