Newswise — Though vice presidential debates rarely have changed the course of a presidential election, last night's debate between Delaware Sen. Joe Biden and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin might differ.

Joe Gantt, director of forensics and head coach of the Texas Tech debate team, can help give valuable insight into the debaters' tactics, comments and impact to the audience. Gantt coached two senior debaters from Texas Tech that won a national championship this March.

"Did Sen. Biden and Gov. Palin reassure voters that they can trust in their leadership should they have to assume the presidency," Gantt asked. "Who can best assist their running mates in advancing their policy proposals? These are the questions that will define the effectiveness of last evening's debate. And how it's said was just as important as what was said."
