Again, I think it's the comparison. Against a younger, hipper Bill Clinton - Dole came off as a relic. He really didn't play well on TV and looked like your crabby grandpa. Biden is old, but he comes off as more relatable and not nearly as crabby as Dole appeared. Plus, he's going up against Trump - not Clinton or Obama (prob the two most likeable candidates we've had in a while).
