Were the American women really going to judge the Democratic ticket on how hard Biden debates Governor Palin? For the sake of our economy and the lives of our soldiers lives, I hope ignorance doesn't beget sexist stupidity. Although Palin obviously doesn't read the news paper, she is a big girl- she is a politician, a republican and is running for Vices President. Joe Biden historically goes after his counterparts, I would expect him to treat Palin fairly.
The press is trying to put Biden in a tight spot roped off by sexism. Treating his out of touch poorly informed opponent like a teeny bopper would be patronizing and will not force Palin to exemplify her qualities as an executive public servant. All this hoopla about Biden being soft and Palin being a good debater in her own right is not only kinked logic but equally obscured.
The press needs to stop perpetuating the though that Plain deserves special treatment, Sen. Clinton held her own against Obama. Of course the fundamental difference is Clinton knows what she's talking about. Sen. Clinton not only read the news but she has been the topic of big headlines, she has been out of the country, she is a New York Senator. Palin's recent interview behavior has been nim-witted and embarrassing. Imagine sending her to the Congo or Sudan to chat with the worlds real gangsters. She would break in five minutes, tomorrow's moderator is more prepared and politically equipped than Palin will be after a year o f coaching.
It will be astute if Biden can tie his answers into scrutinizing McCain. Poor judgment will be an easy target considering McCain's VP choice. Sen. Biden, with a smile, has all the right to defeat this auspicious lampoon campaign. However, Palin is tough she deals with the Russians all the time, besides Papa McCain will break it up with his own strepitant gaffe if things get out of hand- like "where is Washington D.C.?"
