WILMINGTON, Del. -- "This is not Iowa, it's not New Hampshire, it's not Nevada, and it's not South Carolina," John Carney, Delaware's lieutenant governor, explained to the giant crowd gathered in a downtown square here to greet Barack Obama. Not that they needed the geography lesson.

But Carney's introduction wasn't a lesson; it was a celebration of Delaware's prominence as one of the states that will help decide the Democratic nominee on Super Tuesday. Obama and Hillary Clinton are battling for the state's 15 delegates.

"We are in the first state," Carney said. "And we earned that title because we were the first to say, 'Yes we can!'''

Nothing against Carney, but there's another Delaware politician Obama would have preferred introduce him: Senator Joe Biden, one-time presidential hopeful, foreign-policy sage, and Democratic senior statesman. Alas, there were no Biden sightings this afternoon, but that didn't stop Obama from singing his praises.

Obama said he was "proud of the campaign that ran, the knowledge that he brought to bear, the vision on foreign and domestic policy he applied to every debate. He is an outstanding chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, he was an outstanding candidate for president of the United States, he's a great friend of mine."

Translation: Joe, please, please endorse me

Thank you Senator Biden for not getting into the middle of this.
