Thumbs up for Biden from an AIPAC spokesman:

Sen Biden is a strong supporter of the US-Israel relationship and he has longstanding ties to AIPAC and the pro-Israel community.

Throughout his career in the Senate, Joe Biden has been to Israel numerous times and has gotten to know many of Israel’s most important leaders.

Now, to be clear, AIPAC also has had warm words for Barack Obama and John McCain. So don’t confuse this with an endorsement. After all, these guys aren’t stupid — they don’t need to be making enemies with the future president and vice president, no matter who they are.

But, that said, Biden does have a long record of working with AIPAC and Israel. And even one of the founders of Freedom’s Watch had nice things to say.
