I think Biden is in a tough spot, here. As someone somewhere pointed out, the debate could turn out to be a no-win situation. As you pointed out, he's likely to look mean and condescending if he out-debates her on the issues. Or, if Palin somehow manages to "win," then Biden looks like a goof. I can't wait for the sketch on SNL.
ReplyDeleteThere's not as much at stake tonight for the Democrats -- they're well up at the polls, the fix is in in Ohio, and there's pretty much no way the Donks can lose.
ReplyDeleteAll Biden has to do is be nice-but-strong and answer questions correctly. What he shouldn't say: "Hey, bitch, go make me a sammich." Otherwise, this isn't a difficult thing. One or good-natured laughs is enough for a knockout.
BTW, if I hear Palin or McCain refer to themselves as mavericks one more time, I'm gonna throw up. Maverick is a term others give you -- you don't get to use the term on yourself. It's weird. They should know that.
Oops, that was me ... bill
ReplyDeleteas far as canceling the election, that's up to the hypnotoad.
What are the odds on Biden showing up drunk?
ReplyDeleteI'm leaning towards the chaos and cancelled elections scenario.
ReplyDeleteEven if Biden shows up drunk, he'll still make more sense than Palin.
ReplyDeleteDrunk, holding a highball glass, smoking a cigarette, talking on a phone, and reading the latest MAD Super Special, he would still make more sense than Palin.
