Amid the hyper inflated excitement that still follows Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin wherever she goes, it is sometimes easy to forget that she has a rival for the job - Joseph Biden.
This interesting article goes on to say regarding the vice-presidential debate in Missouri on October 2:
Joe Biden and Sarah Palin actually have some things in common.
Both claim to speak the language of the ordinary, hard-working, Americanfamily. Both eschew ivy league intellectualism. Both have sons serving in Iraq.
But, of course, it will be the differences everyone will be focusing on.
Joe Biden's task will be to paint his opponent as untried and untested; too risky to place a heartbeat away from the presidency.
But he has to make that case without appearing patronising or demeaning, or in any other way opening himself up to the charge of sexism.
The silver-haired, battle-hardened, Washington insider versus the self-styled hockey mom from the remote reaches of Alaska.
It is one of the most keenly anticipated bouts of the entire election, and perhaps more than any of its predecessors, it could have a real influence on the outcome.
