Then he hits on an idea: America needs to show the Arab world that we're not bent on its destruction. "Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran," Biden declares. He surveys the table with raised eyebrows, a How do ya like that? look on his face. The staffers sit in silence. Finally somebody ventures a response: "I think they'd send it back."

*"...during the early stages of the Primary", Joe said: ""Any Democrat who thinks this election is going to be about domestic policy is making a big mistake." Sen. Biden quit the race in January after winning less than 1% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses. THEN, Joe, reeking of alcohol said...."aw, who cares or even believes him or Barry bin Snortin"?

I can't wait for them either. Biden is known for his mistakes, gaffs and silliness.

I'm curious as to whom the others are that Biden spent "all of that time as chairman of the Foriegn Relations Committee" with? I wasn't aware that there could be more than one chairperson. BTW it's "Foreign" not "Foriegn"

He's going to have to try hard to not make her cry.

Yeah, but Palin is not familiar with the topic at all... There is not more then one chairman...why would you say that?

He is a gaffe machine - agreed. But, given his experience, in a real debate, he can wipe the floor with Palin. It will be like a scientist debating science with a middle school student. But you know - the child will start crying and get the sympathy. I cannot wait to see the furious "spins" after the debate.

I agree...i can already hear the "he is a sexist", "the questions were too hard on Palin", "Biden was too mean"...when in reality, that is the way he would be with anyone...He is an aggressive debater. I think she will be made out to show her lack of info on any political topic that involves Washington...scripts and teleprompters don't work at debates.

You find this challenging? I take it you just started paying attention.

It's no question that McCain/Palin are two people with NO CLUE about economics, one only has to listen to either of them speak.

Furthermore, they will surround themselves with the same people who brought us 8 years of economic ruin under Bush.

And if you dont like that team, Phil Gramm will call you a "whiner"
