Biden Casts Vote, Says ‘It’s Always a Kick’

GREENVILLE, Del. (AP) - Vice President Joe Biden has cast his vote in the 2012 election, saying "it's always a kick."

President Barack Obama's running mate says it was the eighth time he's run for election statewide. Asked if he thought it was the last time he'd vote for himself, he told reporters, "No, I don't think so."

Biden arrived with his wife, Jill, at Alexis I. DuPont High School in Greenville, Del., shortly after the polls opened and waited about 13 minutes. Also accompanying the vice president were his son, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden; Beau's wife, Hallie; and their 8-year-old daughter, Natalie.

Biden shook hands with and hugged other voters as he waited. He urged Americans to vote "even if you have to stand in line."
