Joe Biden is showing what having a REAL vp can do for a President

[carpe diem]

While Obama is preparing for the "debate" on Friday and trying to anticipate and deal with whatever the hell the McCain campaign is trying to get away with, Biden is all over Virginia and Pennsylvania and Michigan moving those poll numbers in our direction. Meanwhile, every attempt to "Free Sarah" ends up making her look worse than the last one. And now, this gambit to keep her from having to debate at all. I used to think that it was an effort to lower expectations, but she can't be that good of an actress. She sounds like she's not up to the task, because she's NOT up to the task. And, if she can't handle an unscripted interview or debate....?

1. You are absolutely right. McCain can't trust to put Palin anywhere

He's tied to her, while our guys can tackle double the territory.

4. I'll bet Todd Palin is even more incoherent than his wife

Can you imagine him giving a speech? Who would show up?

5. AK DUers - did she participate in debates in running for Governor?

If so, how did she do and against what kind of opposition?

6. You can probably find the Alaska

governor's debate from 2006 on C-span.org. They showed it on Road to the White House a few weeks back. She actually came across as poised, smart and confident on the issues related to Alaska. I don't know if any issues of national relevance were debated, but, she came across as well as her two male counter parts for the most part.
