In these last 25 days, it's good to know we've got each other's backs.

Obama for America

P.S. -- Here's Joe Biden's note from immediately after the debate if you missed it:

-----------------Original Message----------------- From: Joe Biden Subject: Hey

I did my best to make you proud tonight.

But I hope you remember one thing: This debate wasn't about me, or Congressman Ryan.

It was about you, and what we're fighting for together.

So if you're standing with Barack and me, like we're standing with you, please chip in $X or more to show it:

I couldn't be more proud of Vice President Biden.

He spoke the truth with conviction -- he spoke up for the middle class, and he proved something that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan wish wasn't true but is: Facts matter.

Tonight we're facing a crucial budget deadline, and your $X or more will determine how strong we can finish:
