So if it is not on a link or someone else said it before the poster, it doesn't count. Some people just have insight and know how to read people. Sarah Palin does not have the experience in congress, but the one thing that she has going for her is that she thinks like middle America. She has a heart and connection with the average main street person that many of the candidates lack. Obama does not have a clue what life is like for the average person in my neighborhood. I insulted her earlier on another thread by calling her a female Obama. She is like him in that she is a cool person and a good speaker, but her value system runs rings around his. He is so messed up that it would take a miracle to fix him. There is hope and I believe in miracles, but I will not be voting for him. I would vote for Sarah Palin for president before I would vote for him with anybody as his vice president.

It's only been explained to death...sorry you're not keeping up. Oh, and he didn't say it about black people, he said it about Obama.

I'm fairly certain that Palin and Biden are going to get grilled over the stance of McCain and Obama and how they differ from their viewpoints.

Joe wants to make sure he does not sound, or act, like McCain did with Obama, which really turned alot of people off.
Please tell how you know "a lot' of people were turned off.

I think of the two of them, Biden's certainly not the one who needs to keep facts straight...

Honestly Biden is probably the most knowledgeable candidate on foreign policy out of any of the republican or democrat candidates we had for President from the get go. Palin seems very sweet, but she will be thrown into the cage like red meat for the lions on Thursday night.

5 days left to Cram Sarah!!!

What is the topic and how is this one the same or differet than the one last night.? I just can't help but think that they will try something to keep her from not being there. Even if McCain tied with Obama last night he didn't hit a homerun. So I don't see him jumping in the polls. So in McCains nature what is next.
I think he must be cool under fire and resist the temptation to get into a "street fight." Palin does not have the issues on her side, supporting an agenda that is quite unpopular with most of the country. Her only hope is to get Biden to say something and hang himself. She intends to do this with as many attacks on Biden as others have prepared for her, and she will do tihs energetically with that incredibly annoying, whining voice. McCain has already showed that even in debates he believes in lying, so no doubt, Palin has been schooled accordingly.

I expect Palin to come out towing the party line, sounding like an airhead cheerleader from the 8th grade. She will be dressed nicely and easy on the eyes (I doubt that most men will hear a word she says and Conservative men especially have shown this). Biden merely needs to keep his cool like Obama did, and state the facts and the truth. The facts and the issues are on his side. He must not shoot himself by going off on a tangent. He must remain, cool, confident,...and act like someone who should be a heartbeat away from the presidency. He will do very well.

Biden will be Biden and he will go off on some tangent and get worked up and lose track of time.
