I bet ratings for the VP debates will be as high or higher than for Obama/McCain.
Much higher. The people who watch debates already know all about McCain and Obama. But nobody really knows Palin's policies or how she'd react to the hypothetical situations they're sure to bring up. God knows what might come out in the VP debate--I'll know I'll be tuning in.

Oh yes. Let's have Biden come up with something original. It wouldn't be the first time he's plaigarized!
I laughed back then and I'll laugh again.

JFK was a known womenizer.

I think the burden should be on her to rise to the occasion because if Biden has to back off, it will insulting.

No scarrier than another 4 more years of Repub rule...the country is dying, do you care????
No Foreign experience? - do your research, but you won't because that would defeat the purpose.

I am worried because either way, some will see it as an offense against her as a woman. I don't know how to he will be able to properly handle the situation, to both expose her as a weak candidate, but still be respectful and not condescending. I am very anxious to see these debates, and to see who the moderator will be.

Bring it on, I predict Palin with a TKO in round 2, she knocks what little hair Biden has left into the cheap seats.

Yep when Bush 1 picked an equally unexperienced young good looking VP.

I was just pointing out that the argument is being made the Palin is a "stand in" for disaffected Dems who were Hillary supporters...and that in no way does Palin measure up to Hillary.

Exclamation VP Debates: Will Biden have to wear kid glove or will Palin have to put on her boxing gloves?

So I want to see all the candidates act like they are debating for the future of our country and be tough. What do you think?
Kid gloves? This is the Most Powerful nation on the Planet. The Greatest Economy and a Military second to none. We put Senator's Obama, Clinton, McCain, Biden, Congressman Ron Paul, Governor Romney, and everyone else through the wringer. Kid Gloves?

lol
Americans don't hire politician's who have been treated with Kid Gloves....My God,

What would Tim Russert say if he were here right Now!!
