Is Delaware a Southern State?

I guess Joe Biden is going after the Southern voters routinely stereotyped by the national media.

The famed plagiarist senator from Delaware has put his foot in his mouth up to his knee. In an interview, he spoke of Barack Obama and his presidential bid. According to Mr. Biden, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." NAACP members are invited to contact Mr. Biden at his Senate office. I should point out that Mr. Biden is widely regarded as a liberal and not one of those redneck, right-wing, reactionaries normally blamed for such thoughts.
