The New York Times has just done two interesting pieces on the differences in Sen. Joseph Biden's debating style and Gov. Sarah Palin's debating style. The articles primarily highlight Gov. Palin's vague, nonsensical answers and Sen. Biden's aggressive, loquacious style of debating. It warns of the possibility of him coming off as condescending toward Gov. Palin, especially when her gender plays a prominent role in this campaign. This is the last thing the Obama camp needs, particularly because Sen. John McCain was accused by many of being condescending towards the less-experienced Sen. Barack Obama in last Friday's debate, and they really don't want to come full circle on this one.
Are ya'll ready for tomorrow's debate? I have a feeling it will yield much criticism toward both tickets. In fact, I don't really care about the debate so much as the post-debate analysis.
Anyway, don't forget to tune in!

Update: Here's the link to the video slide The New York Times has put together on the two contenders' debating styles, with Katharine Q. Seelyle providing her analysis.
