.@JoeBiden at Atkinson, NH house party this morning jokes, "I don’t want to go back to anything old. Nothing."

Biden jokes about interaction with Trump supporter on 4th of July who called him "Sleepy Joe" at parade. "I said come run with me. Come run with me. Let’s see what you can do man." He didn't

Biden asked about differences with other candidates. As part of long answer he notes "There’s a lot of people doing opposition research and they seem really interested in my 40 year record. .. Sure I made mistakes. But the fact of the matter is you have to know context."

Biden asked his view on "structural reforms" to Supreme Court. He answers that it's a "fancy way of saying packing courts." "Careful what you wish for because it could come back to bite you. I think packing the court is a mistake," he says.

Biden does say he would move to fill as many judicial vacancies as quickly as possible

Biden asked about Anita Hill. He says the whole issue has been "blown out of proportion." Claims in one conversation she said she would consider voting for him. "She didn't say she would vote for me."

Voter asks Biden about 2002 Iraq war vote. "The mistake I made was trusting President Bush, who gave me his word" he would use authorization to get inspectors into Iraq

Biden says from the moment of "shock and awe" he was against the war. And as he did last week he notes Obama asked him to oversee Iraq strategy in their administration.

This audience is getting a lot out of Biden this morning.
