At Debate, Biden Told: Ignore Palin By RUSSELL BERMAN, Staff Reporter of the Sun | September 29, 2008 http://www.nysun.com/national/at-debate-biden-told-ignore-palin/86746/
As Senator Biden prepares to face off against Governor Palin on Thursday night in the campaign's lone vice presidential debate, Democratic strategists have a few words of advice for the lawmaker of Delaware: Ignore the Alaskan.
Mr. Biden's 35 years in the Senate dwarf Ms. Palin's single month of experience on the national stage, but Democrats are worried that his penchant for verbal missteps and his occasionally aggressive style could be a liability as he faces only the second woman to serve as a major party nominee for the vice presidency.
"His goal is to ignore Palin and focus on connecting with voters sitting in their living rooms by making clear he is indeed one of them — an uncommon, common man," a Democratic strategist who served as an aide to Vice President Gore during the 2000 campaign, Christopher Lehane, said.
The two running mates will meet in St. Louis this week for what is perhaps the most eagerly anticipated vice presidential match-up in recent memory, and the debate is fraught with risk for both candidates.
After winning rave reviews for her debut speech at the Republican National Convention early in the month, Ms. Palin has struggled as she has come under increased scrutiny from the press. Polls have shown voter concerns about her readiness for the job, and she has been widely derided in recent days for the nearly incomprehensible response she offered when CBS's Katie Couric asked her to explain her claim that Alaska's proximity to Russia and Canada gave her foreign policy experience.

What was this incomprehensible response to Couric? I don’t watch CBS.
It wasn’t an incomprehensible response - it was an edited response made to sound incomprehensible. . .
“Mr. Biden’s 35 years in the Senate dwarf Ms. Palin’s single month of experience on the national stage..”

1) That is an apples to oranges comparison. Typical of talentless journalists of limited intelligence.
2) I would take any high school graduate with 10 years of experience running a grocery store over an Ivy League law school graduate with 100 years of Senatorial experience.
Word to Sarah Palin: Get in his head, and under his skin.
It can’t take much to bufuddle him into shooting himself in the foot, probably with both barrels...
i don’t watch either.. but there were threads here that indicated the footage was edited to make Sarah look bad.
... just sayin’...
she must make clean swift commanding statements.....even after taking a good long breath....
Note to Gov. Palin: He's flying blind. Take him out.
Upchuck Alert or Stand-up Chuck Alert?
"What was this incomprehensible response to Couric? I don’t watch CBS."Thanks, all. I figured as such...
Not MTV, only the Simpsons.
Joe won’t be able to ignore Palin. No amount of prep can change a lifetime of sticking his foot in his mouth and making reckless comments. Asking Joe to contain himself is like asking water not to be wet.
I think if he catches her glance, she should wink or bat her eyelashes. ;)
If we're lucky, he'll already have his foot planted firmly in his mouth when he shoots it.
And wasn’t it Obama’s people who were complaining McCain never looked at him?
