I am trying not take sides here but I do not see how Palin will be able to effectively debate Biden on Oct 2nd. Biden is a crook, but he is seasoned and knows politics very well. Based on the interview I saw with Palin, she does not even know what to think about the Iraq War. How are they going to be able to bring her up to speed on all these very important issues? Biden may not be my favorite person but he has some basic knowledge of the issues,after having spent more than 30 years in politics. Palin seems to know more about issues that pertain to Alaska politics, like energy, oil, etc. We are less than 30 days away from the debate, I would be very concerned if I was Sarah.

Well Repubocrat I know I don't have to tell you this, but for everyone else I am a McCain supporter who is very displeased with his VP pick. Palin is going to look like a fool in the debate. Biden is a seasoned veteran. I am afraid he is going to make Palin look like, well, a small-minded, small town person from Alaska.

She knows exactly what to think about the Iraq war. There is a video of her preaching about it. somewhere along the lines of "Iraq is a task from god."

Sarah is very intelligent. She outshined everyone in not only her convention but Obama's as well.

I think Biden will come off as a bitter angry liberal with no real plan or solution, and Palin will come off as calm tempered firing well timed insults/jabs at Obama.

I wonder what her answer will be when they ask her about her thoughts on the current situation in South Waziristan

I didn't mean they are smart like 234*n(78-42)=11. I meant that are smart in terms of manipulation, conniving, etc. I'm not saying it's exclusive to the Republicans, I just think they are better at it.
