“I guess they got caught up in Mad Men, I don’t know, that’s straight out of the 50s!” Biden said of the GOP’s social policy at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.

Since the president’s final debate with Mitt Romney earlier this week, Biden has linked the GOP’s foreign policy to the 80’s, tied their social policy to the 50’s, and the party’s economic policy to the 20’s.

On his fifth trip to Wisconsin this year, the vice president pushed supporters to head to the polls early, even telling them they could catch a ride to an early voting location after the event.

“Again, I want to make what we call a public service announcement,” Biden said. “Early voting is available between now and November the 2nd and every town that has an early vote location, you can even register and vote at your early vote location at the same time and if you live here in Oshkosh, you can vote right after we wrap up here. Volunteers are going to be available to drive you to the convention center to do it if you don’t have a ride.”
