Biden is the southern candidate
Schaller knows Delaware from seeing it on a blip on the map, kinda on the upper left hand corner of the country (two thumb-widths from New York while may five thumb-widths from Georgia), and possibly from getting ripped off at the toll plaza on I-95.
But if you go in a few miles, down toward the shore, and hang out in the small towns, you will see the same people, culture and cuisine that you find in the Deep South. Delaware, as Biden stresses, was a slave state. It didn't vote to secede because to secede would have been suicidal (this is an example of when looking at a map is instructive).
