Having been one of the first genea-bloggers to claim that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney ARE my distant cousins, and knowing that John McCain and Hillary Clinton are not my cousins, I thought I'd look for the Joe Biden family tree.
William Addams Reitwiesner's site at http://www.wargs.com/ is always a good place to start for politicians and celebrity family trees, and he has Senator Joe Biden's family tree at http://www.wargs.com/political/biden.html.
Unfortunately, Senator Biden is NOT my cousin, at least as far as I can tell from the limited data at the site. I would have loved to consider voting for a tandem of cousins. He has some Maryland and eastern Pennsylvania ancestry, and some England and Ireland immigrants in the early 19th century, but there is very little information before 1800.
I hope that John McCain picks Mitt Romney for his Vice-Presidential running mate - then I'd have a horse, er, cousin, in both stables, so to speak. If he picks Tim Pawlenty, then I don't think he's my cousin either - the research is pretty thin!
FYI, here are links to the family trees of Obama, Biden and McCain from the www.wargs.com web site:
* Barack Obama
* Joe Biden
* John McCain
