I’m concerned about the VP debate.

Why, I wonder?

For sure, Biden has 35 years of campaigning and political experience behind him. He has often spoken -- on the hustings, on the Senate floor, in Committee meetings and on the Sunday morning shows.

All of that is true.

However, at the same time he was doing these things, he has given ample evidence that he is a pompous blowhard, a gasbag of the worst kind.

He is not quick afoot. Given the choice between a terse direct response and a laborious circumlocution, he will inevitably choose the latter. And extend it. He is given to tired cliches, not the pithy epigram.

Biden is no "quick-witted debater". He is a ponderous target for one.

Based upon her performance at the VP introduction yesterday, she'll be picking his bones by the close.
