Love for Biden to call for 3 V.P. DEBATES out of his deep respect for Gov. PALIN

[Sensitivity]

Would love to see the MSM get their heads around that prospect.

1. You guys are underestimating Palin in debate setting

Palin is charismatic with a relaxed style. Anyone who thinks Biden will destroy her in the VP debate is a lousy handicapper, similar to the posters here who expected Cheney to flop in both VP debates. Palin's style is to smile and charm with disarming references including to the moderator. She doesn't try to dominate on specifics like Gore and the Dingle/Norwood bill but she gets the big picture ideas across. I've hosted debate watching parties for more than 10 years and I can tell you Palin's warmth is going to come across great in a debate setting.

I watched all the 2006 Alaska debates on CSPAN. Heading into the final debate of the 3-way primary, Palin was polling in the high 30s. She ended up eclipsing 50% in the primary. Everyone was astonished, including myself. In the general election she had a huge lead then it tightened, but Palin pulled away at the end to win comfortably.

2. Could that "charisma" work in the national debate setting? Woa, hope not.
