My 2 cents: Biden should hold a press Q&A...and give interviews all over the damned tv...

[npincus]

Appearing in public, unscripted, open to press, as often as possible... to make Palin's absence even MORE conspicous, to make it clear she CAN'T expose herself to questions on the issues because she is NOT prepared.


Now, can I have my 2 cents back?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. I see your two cents and raise you a "Hell yes!"

[grannie4peace]

2. no sense, but...

3. The exposure would be great - he'd be a household name like Obama is already

[gateley]

4. That would be a fabulous thing to behold.

And if they ask him about Palin, he could just say that they have no idea, since she's not giving interviews or taking questions.

[WheelWalker]

7. I'm with you, gateley. I haven't been this high since 1968.

[PA Democrat]

5. Looks like he is doing just that tomorrow

Biden will be on Meet the Press!

[gateley]

21. Cool! And Palin WON'T be. Or anywhere else unsupervised, for that matter. nt

[WheelWalker]

6. Excellent call. Biden up the middle for another first down. The pugs

have no offense, and no defense. I expect a blowout if Obama uses the playbook you suggest. Fuck the "Mercy Rule." The pugs picked their team and they're gonna have to go down by their own recruiting.

[Fighting Donkey]

8. I agree!

How in the hell can McCain/Palin get away with this?!? This baffles me. "I only want to be the second most powerful person in the free world, but I'm not up for answering questions." These are vile people.

14. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Fighting Donkey]

18. Thanks!

I'm a "Bitter, White, Male, Gun-Owning Asshole for Obama."

[gateley]

22. Hi, Fighting Donkey -- Welcome to DU!

:hi:

What's the most baffling is that they won't let her speak on her own. Even if I were a supporter and in theory agreed with their reasoning, I can't help but think that there would be a little question inside of me wondering what they were afraid might happen.

[Fighting Donkey]

23. Thank you!

Don't be too tough on Gov. Palin. Oh, but she can say whatever she wants.
The VP Debate should be on Pay-Per-View.

9. He can gently provide instructions as to how it is done.

"Sarah, it's not that difficult. They ask questions and you provide answers!"

[1corona4u]

10. He's been on the news every day...

People already know Joe, very well. He's been vetted for the last 35 years.

[ebdarcy]

11. I think this is a great idea. nt

[WheelWalker]

13. Me too! k&r!

[Fighting Donkey]

12. What if Barack or Biden had said this?

My god, Fixed News would explode. Friggin' mushroom cloud where "Studio B" had once been. They just cannot get away with this. But they might, knowing our brave media...

[WheelWalker]

15. You're right. I expect

the MSM to try to invoke the Mercy Rule.

[Rectangle]

16. Yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they can shoehorn him into the Sunday Morning
talk shows!

[Rectangle]

20. Oops! sorry, I din't see he will be on MTP! n/t

[Top Cat]

17. yes

[endthewar]

19. Both Obama and Biden are booked on weekend news shows

I'm sure they'll hint at this one way or another.

[True_Blue]

24. Great idea!

She would have to start doing interviews or they would have to explain why she refuses to do interviews. It's a win win situation.

[Fighting Donkey]

25. By the way,

That photo is very W-esque. I think she should put on a few more American flag pins though. I know that's how I vote on a candidate. The one with the most flag pins gets my vote. I wanna see 47 flag pins on McCain.

[gblady]

26. Biden was out yesterday....

kicking butt and taking names....
I'm sure he will be the energizer bunny through Nov 4th.
