Biden stumps at Galivants Ferry meeting

More than 2,000 people listened to a keynote speech at the traditional Galivants Ferry stump meeting Monday in Horry County. According to the Associated Press:

Biden kept the crowd of about 2,000 in rapt attention for his 30-minute speech.

Biden said President Bush has made a number of missteps from the war in Iraq to the response to Hurricane Katrina and said Americans are entitled to a “competent government.”

Bush will not be remembered for the mistakes he made, “but for the opportunities he has squandered,” Biden said.
