Explain these differences to me about the two different party tickets

Your right, thats exactly whats going on. I think it is the media who keep blowing this whole thing out of proportion. I swear the media has gotten out of control the last few years and is poisoning our political systems. It is beyond ridiculous, but what is even more ridiculous is that people eat it up and accept it for what it is. I appreciate you calling this out, hopefully more people would start to question this as well.

Biden isn't criticized for being in Washington too long. Obama is being criticized for picking him because Obama claims to be focused on change and not be part of the ole boys club. Obama was being criticized for inexperience because he would be the least experienced president since Abraham Lincoln. Since is opponent has an extraordinary amount of political and military experience that was Obama's weakest point. Palin is now getting criticized by democrats because they didn't like when republicans criticized Obama's experience. For that one, they don't really have a leg to stand on IMO. The biggest difference in the tickets right now, outside of ideology, is that one ticket is led by a man with very little experience, but has a very experienced running mate. The other is led by a man with a lot of experience, but a much less experienced running mate. If you weren't concerned at all with the issues, you'd have to decide if you prefer to have the experienced person in charge, or in a support role.

It's called hypocrisy and it's often inspired by gossip. Welcome to politics, haha.

You are 100% correct. Both claim that they will change Washington, but both have people on the ticket that have been in washington so long that they should be considered a resident of Washington DC. The other two have very little time in any office at all. It all should come down to their positions, and their professional, and private morals.
