David:

The Human Rights Award that Biden received last night was from the Greek Orthodox Church, at the annual dinner of the Archons of the Order of St. Andrew. Archons are all men - women are prohibited from serving in this capacity. 

Here's the ABC coverage: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/joe-biden-quotes-son-beau-human-rights-awards/story?id=34544228

I just read that over 65 percent of white men in the US have an unfavorable opinion of HRC. I suspect that the numbers were even higher at this event, which includes a majority of republicans. 

If Biden, or his staff, was out looking for an overly-optimistic reflection of his chances at this critical decision point, this would be the crowd that would give it to him.
