Anyone who has watched Joe Biden over 35 years in the Senate might have a little bit of trouble recognizing the guy who is running to be Barack Obama's Vice President. Oh, yes, he looks like the same fellow. But traveling with Biden during this campaign has sometimes been like reporting on a politician packaged in shrink-wrap. While his windy, off-point pontification was the stuff of legend among his Senate colleagues, Biden is now leashed to a teleprompter even when he is talking in a high school gym that is three-quarters empty.

...Cole, a young woman who is preparing to cast her very first vote-and who still won't disclose who it will be for - it was a rough introduction to modern campaign tactics. At the rally, Biden lauded her from the podium, and declared: "Our country cannot take four more years of this divisive politics." But for her part, Cole seemed like she would have been just as happy not to play her bit part in this election season. "It seems pretty nasty," she told me, and added: "I'm too young for all this...
