VP Debate: Palin Will Suck, & The USA Wants To See Biden Take Her Apart

[stopbush]

Contrary to what the MSM is telling you.

Americans like Rs because they go for the jugular. Being tough = they'll defend me. The country knows that Palin is a lightweight and they want Biden to lay it all out there, to be tough and to say the emperor has no clothes.

Trust me. I'm right on this one.

1. As a rule, I never trust anyone who says, "Trust me."

I think Biden has to walk a thin line as far as answering comprehensively but not making it look like he's
rubbing her nose in her own ignorance.

So far, she's done a pretty good job of that all on her own.

2. He doesn't need to rub her nose in it.

He simply has to acknowledge the obvious, even if that acknowledgment is tacit.

5. Ah, the "it's a trap" argument.

Yes, that's popular these days.

3. No, Biden will do well but I don't think people (unless they are true partisans like us) want him to

take Palin apart. Trust me, I'm right about this.

4. I think we'll all find enough snark to be satisfied

But like many others, I acknowledge that Obama and Biden aren't talking to me at this time or in these debates, because they don't need to. They had me at "I'm not a Republican".

Biden is going for the "undecided" vote (which is really the "proud to be stupid" vote), and that group apparently gets spooked easily and swallows manufactured controversies whole. So Biden has to be gentle Thursday.

We'll all be a little mad that he didn't crush Palin, but it's tactical at this point, and I still think everyone on this board is educated enough about politics to read between the lines and get more out of Biden's remarks than the amateurs who are "undecided."
