Eric, You are bringing up some very valid points. While I find Sara preferable to the provenly incompetant Condi Rice (who the affirmative action wing of FR really loved), I agree that her experience in FP is a definite weakness. I have a feeling she will get creamed by Biden in the debate.

One question will settle the whole debate - if Biden is stupid enough to accept. “Explain to American voters your view on abortion?”
Don’t sit too close for the Duke of Delaware’s head is going to explode like one of Gallagher’s watermelons.
Everybody seems to be quaking with fear about Joe Biden. I don't get it. The only times he scored in the 'rat debates was when he basically differed from the party line. Otherwise he mouths off too much, utters stupid gaffes, and relies on sound bites.
Face it, 36 years in the Senate doesn't mean squat as far as debating skills--they haven't had a true debate there since about 1857. I reference for your consideration how goofy-foot dyslexic George Bush defeated the "tough experienced senate debater" John VietNam Kerry in 2000, and Senate Princeling Al Gore in 2004; and how old fly-fisherman Dick Cheney dismantled the glib shyster-senator Johnboy Edwards. And they all were better at it than Biden.
I have yet to hear Sara Palin speak, but from her bio, I have a feeling that if she stays within herself she can do all right against this bozo.
“I have a feeling she will get creamed by Biden in the debate.”
She won’t get creamed by Biden in a debate because the debate will be aboout apples and oranges. All Biden can talk about are his accomplishments which are few. He cannot hit Palin on anything since she hasn’t been around a long time.
If anything, this debate will be boring to watch.
