My insightful debate analysis

Biden wins. Why? Very simple. It has nothing to do with issues or knowledge or experience or presentation. He twice mentioned our mutual hometown of Claymont, Del. Palin didn't mention Claymont once. So, despite the fact that the senator attended the snooty private academy in my town where I'd scale a fence to use the tennis courts before getting chased off and whose football team my public high school would play every Thanksgiving -- we lost to the Archmere Auks in my last game; I can tell you all about it sometime -- and despite his not somehow working in a mention of the fabulous Claymont Steak Shop ... Biden wins, 2-0.

Yea! Go, Claymont! I almost thought he was going to mention Holy Rosary, too, for a minute.

About Ray Frager

Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
