Biden: Hillary and I Won't Switch Jobs

Asked if this is really what Americans want to hear, as they struggle economy and high unemployment, Biden said that the charges against the Chamber and the outside groups are just one small piece of his overall message on the campaign trail.

In a wide-ranging interview, Biden reiterated that Democrats will keep control of Congress, dismissed suggestions that a joint appearance with President Obama in his home state of Delaware means the Democratic candidate there is in trouble, and weighed in on the impact of the Tea Party movement on the Republican Party. Biden laughed off the latest Beltway chatter about him switching jobs with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and said it was "not in the cards."

"I have breakfast with Hillary almost every Tuesday mornin' when we're both in the country, and I assure you, she's not interested in switchin', nor am I," he said. "Nor is the president."

Biden has been aggressive on the campaign trail in recent months, holding over 100 events for congressional and gubernatorial candidates and delivering some tough love to the Democratic Party.

Last month he told Democrats they needed to "get in gear, man," and take serious the challenge from the Tea Party.

He also urged Democrats to "remind our base constituency to stop whining and get out there and look at the alternatives." (
