He laughed. “By the way, I wonder what the incest rate is in Iowa. I bet it’s high! Really high. Like any part of Appalachia where nobody can get in.” There are no statistics by which to verify Harpootlian’s assumptions about incest rates in states outside of his own, but when it comes to his assumptions about Biden’s performing significantly better in South Carolina, there is much polling that backs him up.
Even Lindsey Graham agrees with Harpootlian’s prediction . On Fox News Thursday evening, Graham said Biden would emerge from South Carolina with a double-digit victory. Later, at lunch, Harpootlian said he apologized to Biden for his bad golf game. “He said, ‘Oh, no, no, no, no, Dick. Don’t worry about it. You know, I learned a lot today.’ I said, ‘Mr. Vice-President, what could you possibly have learned from me today?’ He said, ‘Oh, five new ways to use the word fuck.’”
Signs written with red marker pointed to a phone-banking room. It contained only two volunteers: Victoria Johnson, 34, and Ruth Dixon, 68, both from Columbia. They sat at a table with campaign-issued flip phones and lists of voters before them.
