Why Tonights Vice Presidential Debate is Unusual
What will be notable about the debate is how the two running-mates differ from the presidential nominees. On one side there is the figurative janitor, struggling to erase the stain of his candidate's many missteps and insults. On the other is the affable everyman, who projects a far more relatable image than his candidate. In both cases, they have significant policy disagreements with the top of the ticketso much so that a debate within the two tickets would likely be more thrilling than tonight's bout.
