Biden and Palin: Debating styles

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! 

Vice Presidential Debate: Sen. Joseph Biden, Jr. vs. Gov. Sarah Palin

Thursday, Oct. 2 - 9 p.m. ET

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.

Bill: Hillary best VP pick

Not that anyone's surprised by this, but Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that while Sen. Joe Biden was a "good choice" to be Barack Obama's running mate, his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, "would have been the best politically."

"It's a very personal decision, who should be vice president," Clinton said on ABC's The View. "I think that [Obama] felt more comfortable with another choice, and you have to respect that."

"I like Sen. Biden a lot. I think he was a good choice," said the former president, before adding of his wife, "She would have been the best politically, at least in the short run, because of her enormous support in the country."

However, he reveals that Hil didn't want to be Obama's running mate.

Well, duh.

"She said that if he asked 'I'll do it because it's my duty' but I think, look, she loves being a senator from New York."

Joe Biden's Catholic problem

Remember him? Democratic vice presidential nominee? Barack Obama's running mate? Part of the ol' boys club? Kinda boring?

Ya, that's the one. Well, turns out his pro-abortion views, or as I prefer to call them, pro-choice views, have gotten him into a bit of a kerfuffle with catholics, particular a few bishops.

The New York Times even decided to front page the issue earlier this week. 

How'd it all start?

Well, the overshadowed VP pick took communion in his home parish last month. On September 2 the Bishop of Scranton, Pennsylvnia (a crucial swing state) banned him from communion in his diocese. Apparently, that's like some legit excommunication shiz goin' down.

So, a little religious bickering ain't nothin' to worry about, right? Ehh, as it were, at every presidential election in the past 30 years the Catholic vote has gone to the winning candidate, except for Al Gore in 2000.

Realistically, though, it's been said that a large majority of so-called catholics are protestant when it comes to birth control. Anotherwards, they use it.

Still, perhaps Sen. Biden ought to take up moose hunting, or involve himself in some kind of -gate, 'cause other than this little piece of news, nobody's heard a thing about the guy. And if all else fails, there's always time for an illegitimate love child somewhere down the line.

Bonnie Fuller offers her unsolicited advice

It's probably safe to presume that it is also oft-thought advice.

As number five on her listicle of things Barack Obama should do if he wants to win this presidential election:

"Finally! Dump Biden and Bring Back Hillary! New York Times columnist David Brooks, wrote very insightfully a couple of weeks ago that in this election, Weirdness Wins."

This is ridiculous. I half-agree, in that he should have picked Hil if he knew what was best for him, but IMO she ought to be Prez, not Veep. The incredulity of this comment for me is the thought that the presidential contenders in this race should be vying for our votes through "weirdness" tactics. I think that just completely underestimates the intelligence of the American people. We want people in Washington that have REAL credentials and qualification, not outward beauty, quirky characteristics or a contrived maverick image.

This is why I'm particularly irked at McCain's veep pick. It is an obvious affront on half the American population's intelligence.

So, sure, Biden may as well change his name to Blahden, but that doesn't mean Sen. Obama should shake things up by picking my girl Hillary. She doesn't need anyone's pity.

Hillary love

"Hillary is as qualified or more qualified than I am," said Democratic veep nom Joe Biden at a Nashua, New Hampshire event.

Um, we know. But, duly noted anyhow.
