One bit of advice to Senator Biden
TAKE NO PRISONERS. The media is going to call you a sexist bully any way you play it Joe, take her to school.

2. I think Biden should just ignore her. Be civil, be polite, yes, but other than that
I feel like the attacks should be directed at McSame. It will just indicate that Palin is out of her league, and most of America knows that. It will show that Biden is a gentleman, but the main issue is McSame.

He should look at her, engage her, but not really attack HER. He can attack McSame, the GOP, and their policies but not direct anything at Palin. POOF...she's irrelevant.

Do you feel that this would create bigger problems than if Joe just slammed her on the facts and policies? (Not trying to be confrontational, just wondering...) :)

5. I fully expect that's how he'll play it
And he'll be accused of being condescending. Just like McCain was for not looking at Obama for 90 minutes...Oh wait....He wasn't called on that was he. I'm sure the "liberal" media will do its job.:eyes:

8. See, that's what I fear as well.
A "if you were born to be shot, you'll never be hung" attitude. Joe is damned if he attacks, but if he doesn't he's being condescending.

Biden is a sharp guy, but I fear he has a fine line to walk tonight. I think he can do it, I just hope he keeps everything in check and doesn't forget to shut up when he's said what needs to be said.

3. Agreed. No holding back.
To go easy on her really would be SEXIST.

Let her have it.

4. Take the Rude Pundit's advice
By the time Biden is finished with her no one should have any doubts about the depth of her ignorance or right wing lunacy.

6. Those Who Will Vote for Palin...
...don't care what she knows. They are the same Joe Sixpack voters who elected Bush.
They didn't care what he knew either, just that he 'seemed' like someone they'd like to have a beer with.

Let's hope that the election process has been examined and fixed in every state in the union. That's our only hope.

7. I'm sorry, who wouldn't rather have a beer with Biden
He's the kind of guy I loved having out with as a friend. Always jovial, keeps the conversation moving and super intelligent.
