The Democratic presidential ticket has just released the particulars of running mate Joe Biden’s two-day tour around western Missouri.

The communities on the list of stops: St. Joseph, Liberty, Jefferson City on Thursday and Springfield on Friday.

Biden plans to focus on the economy, and presidential nominee Barack Obama’s proposals “to offer 95% of America’s working families tax relief, keep good paying jobs from going overseas, and strengthen our economy.”

In a jab at the GOP, the release adds, “John McCain is only offering four more years of the same failed Bush economic policies that have sent Missouri’s jobs overseas and burdened middle class families.”
