Vice President Joe Biden had a raucous visit to a restaurant in Sarasota, Fla., Wednesday when he was met by a group of enthusiastic older women and ended up on the phone with the Republican brother of one, according to a White House pool report.
After placing an order, the group of older women entered the restaurant and began taking pictures of the vice president.
From the pool report:
One of the women called him gorgeous. Would you tell my wife that, VP responded.
Poses with arms around a pair of women for a picture, not rushing the moment at all.
I loved what you did to Paul Ryan, one woman said. You were great today. We love you, said another.
One then says of the picture: Ive got to send this to my Republican brother. The VP than invited her to get him on the phone.
The woman called her brother and passed the phone to Biden, who apparently had a short but serious conversation with the man about the health care law that included a reference to a 2016 run for president, which Biden said was said in jest.
Look, Im not trying to talk you into voting for me, I just wanted to say hi to you. And after its all over when your insurance rates go down, then youll vote for me in 2016. Ill talk to you later.

I mean, how can you not appreciate what these guys are doing for President Obama?
