Radio Iowa reports:

Vice President Joe Biden is headed to Ames today for a speech at Iowa State University. During an interview early this morning with Radio Iowa, Biden rapped GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s suggestion that it’s snobbery to call on all Americans to get at least a year of vocational training or go to college.

“I think there’s an ideological divide between Rick Santorum and all of America on this. I don’t think it’s between the parties,” Biden said. “Look, I’ve been going college campuses and high schools all across America for the past six months talking about what the facts are. Six out of the 10 jobs over the next 10 years are going to require…either a certificate or a degree beyond high school. It’s that simple.”
