Biden: Americans Want " Sleepover With People They Like!"

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (By Ryan Corsaro, CBS News) - Joe Biden came up with an interesting metaphor [last] night.

When telling the story of how his granddaughters had a slumber party with Barack Obama’s daughters during the week of the Democratic National Convention, Biden equated it to what he says Americans want.

“I believe that's a metaphor, a metaphor for what the country is looking for. They're looking for a sleepover with people they like!”
