Local Author Dissects Last Week’s VP Debate



BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- A local author says last week's debate between the vice presidential candidates will probably be more memorable than those between the presidential candidates.

Lynden resident Jeremy Lott, editor of www.realclearbooks.com and author of "The Warm Bucket Brigade: The Story of the American Vice Presidency," says Joe Biden's wild performance was intended to energize Democratic voters.



He says the VP candidates only get one debate to grab voter's attention, and they don't have to be as respectful as the presidential candidates.
 


President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney will square off in their second debate Tuesday.

Lott says Obama has to "come out swinging" if he wants to keep Democratic voters excited.

We'll have complete coverage of tomorrow's presidential debate starting at 5 p.m. here on KGMI.
