Pre-Debate: What Does Biden Have To Do To Win?
We just did a little pre-debate post on Sarah Palin that you can see here. So, now let’s take a look at Joe Biden. Will he win tonight’s debate with Sarah Palin? In my opinion, he is going to have to tread very lightly, or he could easily come off as a bully. Here is some pre-debate facts, spin, and analysis from the media, let me know what you think in comments.

An analysis of tonight’s VP debate…
From Femagination…
Joe Biden is not Sarah Palin (thank God). Neither is he Hillary Clinton (unfortunately). But Obama could have done worse.
If that’s not a ringing endorsement, it’s because I don’t really know that much about Biden. And I think that’s a glaring mistake of the Obama campaign.
The Obama campaign needs to appeal to the female swing voters in this country. Biden has a good record regarding women’s rights. Yesterday I made a link to an article entitled “Ladies’ Man” in which Biden’s efforts on behalf of the Violence Against Women Act were recounted. Biden has also co-sponsored re-introducing the Equal Rights Amendment. Even though he is Catholic and believes that life begins at conception, he supports a woman’s right to privacy when it comes to her own body.
From Urban Conservative…
Concerns about Sarah Palin’s readiness to take the national stage have grown in recent days following very poor interviews in which she fumbled her words when faced with tough questions, specifically from Katie Couric who is probably one of the softer interviewers in the media. If Sarah can show one ounce of articulation and at least pretend she knows what she is talking about, she may do just fine.
But some Democrats must also be worried. Biden, a 35-year veteran of the Senate who has a bigger ego than most in Hollywood has in the past displayed a low level of restraint and tolerance when talking with (or at) the opposition. He will lose points by bullying, patronizing or appearing to condescend during the debate (I heard on the radio this morning that he will only refer to her as Governor Palin.)
