She sounds SO presidential :eyes:. "That Biden guy is like totally like older than me and stuff." They are pretty much admitting now that she is dumber than dirt:

Palin sees debate with Biden as ‘quite a task’
WASHINGTON - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin sounds a bit wary about her upcoming debate with her really, really, really experienced Democratic rival.
“Senator (Joe) Biden has a tremendous amount of experience,” she told Fox News. “I think he was first elected when I was like in the second grade.”

If her running mate John McCain, 72, wasn’t hoping to be the oldest person to begin a first term as president, one might think Palin was suggesting Biden, 65, was old.
“He’s been in there a long, long, long time,” Palin said. “So he’s got the experience. He probably has the sound bites. He has the rhetoric. He knows what’s expected of him. He is a great debater, also.”

“So yes, it’s going to be quite a task in front of me,” she said.

McCain's camp worries Palin may struggle without tight debate rules
Staff, Vancouver Sun
Published: Sunday, September 21, 2008

It's the U.S. election debate that most interested observers have been eagerly waiting for - Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden against Republican VP choice Sarah Palin - but don't expect them to get into many verbal exchanges.

According to a report in the New York Times Saturday, the campaign of Senator John McCain has fought for tight rules on how the VP debate will run, limiting the chances of anything other than short answers, and ensuring the debaters will not speak directly to one another for anything more than short periods.

This in contrast to the Presidential debates, in which Senators Barack Obama and McCain will be allowed to address each other, argue, and present rebuttals for five minutes per question, after a two-minute answer period. The reasoning behind the tighter VP rules? According to The Times, McCain advisers were concerned that letting Palin, a relative rookie when it comes to debating national and international policy, go toe-to-toe with Biden, would leave her at a disadvantage.

The Obama campaign was reportedly not involved in the discussion, with advisors to Biden claiming they were comfortable with whatever rules were put in place. The negotiations were between the Commission on Presidential Debates, a non-partisan organization, and McCain advisors.



She can't debate Joe Biden without "strict rules", but she is going to be negotiating with Putin? Oh I forgot-she can see Russia from her kitchen! And now they want to suspend the debate. Yes because after 8 years of Bush, stupidity and ignorance are qualities we need in our elected leaders? These people are insanely out of touch with the real world...

1. To be fair, she was held back in the second grade several times.
