UNDATED (WSAU)  Vice President Joe Biden will speak at U-W Eau Claire on Thursday morning – and he plans to tell what he and President Obama plan to do about the national debt. The Obama campaign calls it a “grass-roots event” which seeks to tell middle-class families what’s at stake in November. Biden is scheduled to appear at Zorn Arena on the Eau Claire campus at 11 am on Thursday. It will be his second visit to Wisconsin in 11 days, after he appeared at Green Bay’s National Railroad Administration a week ago Sunday.

Meanwhile, Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan has a rally planned tomorrow in De Pere. That event begins at 11:45 at the Cornerstone Community Ice Center. It will be Ryan’s third such Wisconsin event after Mitt Romney named the Janesville congressman as his running mate a month ago today.
