TwitterSarah Palin says Joe Biden's "experienced." Oops. Like John McCain?
In an interview with Katie Couric last night, Sarah Palin was asked about her remark about how she's "been hearing about Joe Biden's speeches" since she was in second grade.
When Couric asks Palin if she meant to disparage Biden for his age, Palin smugly smiles and says no. She explains that she is the new energy and Biden has all the "experience" and that voters are going to decide which they want.
As Keith Olbermann points out, Biden is six years younger than John McCain, who is also running on the "experience" platform, against the younger and less experienced Barack Obama.
Hmmm.
Kinda makes you wonder if those emergency debate training sessions Palin is getting in Sedona, Ariz., near a creek close to one of the Red Rock energy vortexes, will invigorate her reasoning powers.
What do you think?
Does Gov. Sarah Palin stand an Alaskan snowball's chance in Thursday's debate against Sen. Joe Biden?
Are you looking forward to the decimation of Palin?
Or do you think she will do great and come across as "one of the people"?

A guy with a mediocre brain and a twit doesn't seem like a recipe for success.
I think that intellectually, Biden will make Palin look like a fourteen year old high school student, especially on specific issues, conflicts, and theories. The more specific the commentator's questions are, the more Palin's lack of knowledge will be exposed. I personally cannot WAIT to see her struggle with the issues, and suspect she will be both arrogant and certain of her words, no matter how ridiculous they may be. I think she will fail miserably in the debate, but my concerns are that 1) the bar has been set so low for her, 2) there are so many voters who are mindless tools of the GOP (avid FOX-watchers), and 3) Biden has been known to make gaffes, and his competence and intelligence will appear as condescending/superior/elitist (which is complete BS!). However, I think the debate will unnerve her, she will probably be as disrespectful as McCain was to Obama, and she won't be able to get away with lying about Obama's policies, though I'm sure she will throw a punch at him every opportunity she gets....which hopefully, as Snead put it, will lead to her 'decimation,' having no one to blame but herself.
she said since 2nd grade, not since she's been 2 years old. she was 8 when he got in the senate. gotta fix it. somebody might see it.
Why are you asking what readers think? You have already made up your minds about the candidates, and it is plain to see who you are supporting. This passes for news? It should be a paid political announcement from the DNC.
Did you see this?
McCain has put a McMansion on the market.
How tone deaf can you be?
It is expected to fetch 10.5 million bucks.
Couldn't they have waited a few weeks?

With a controlled short answer format, she'll look better than in an interview. She will have practiced responses to likely questions, and her "Republican convention-style" one-liners will excite Republicans.
Those who like the Republican ticket will be thrilled. The rest of us will think "more of the same."
An "Alaskan snowball's chance" is pretty darn good by my reasoning. It is much easier to think about what you write, rather than what you say. Maybe Palin should write a blog.
I believe it is going to be obvious to America that Ms. Jane 6 pack is a couple brewskies short of a full pack.
mcCain made sarah his running mate for her looks, meaning young age to counter balance his old age and Senator Obama. sarah has no experience BUT looks pretty hot in her swimsuit. LOL
Not a snowball's chance against Joe Biden!
Sarah Palin is an idiot, pure and simple.
She was chosen by McCain for the most cynical of reasons -- to appeal to so-called disenfranchised Hillary voters.
Palin is so completely uninformed that she couldn't even MAKE UP news sources in the Couric interview that she's supposedly been reading all these years -- she just kept mindlessly repeating "all of them, all of them."
I don't wish ill on anyone, but the fact is that McCain is 72 and seems unhealthy. It is a VERY REAL possibility that this woman could become President and that is the scariest thing I can think of right now.
