Thread Name: BS: Palin VP McCain choice
Subject: RE: BS: Palin VP McCain choice
I just saw an article which mentioned that last night, may be considered the easy part. She was preaching to the choir of delegates in an auditorium. She now has to go out on the road, and have solid answers about issues that matter to the nation, not to Alaskans. Also, whatever one thinks of it, Wolf Blitzer made a good point last night when he said the Obama people by this point do have experience in dealing with a woman candidate. ( Before you criticize me, that's what he said) I think they know when they can jab, and when they can strike, which they will do. Also, any notion that Joe Biden is nervous about debating her is weak in my estimation. Biden will get up there and use his experience on the floor of the Senate and in commitees to show-this is what WE have done, this is what WE recommended, and so on. He will do it in a way that does not belittle or underestimate Sarah Palin, but he will come across as much more resolute, and succinct. I do not think this will be another Quayle/Bentsen moment either, although I'm sure that's what the pundits will be looking for. If you really think about it, Biden has a counter for just about anything Palin can throw at HIM. The key will be how well Biden can defend Obama. My feeling is, he's more than up for it.
