“Howdy” Biden may well need that knife. The MSM will not defend Palin, as it did Hillary, from the evil assault of a MALE animal, but I very much doubt that it would be necessary anyhow. The lady seems to speak well and even the underhanded assistance of the straight-arrow, non-biased “questioner” will probably not throw her off. In anything resembling a fair fight, Palin will show quite well. And Biden will be sorely tempted to show his smarmy, nasty, arrogant side. Should be a fun evening.

Howdy Doody? Heh. More like Elly May Clampett and Snidley Whiplash. And we remember what always happened when someone tried to push Elly May around.

Bring it on, you snarling old weasel. She'll tie you in a knot and you can cry in your microphone again.

No! Why would she crucify him when she’s perfectly capable of getting it from him and then skinning gutting and cutting him into steaks and filets with the knife?

Who said anything about HER doing it ;o)

Personally, I can't wait to start slandering the hell out of liberals for their "faux feminism!"

The more I think about it, the more I don’t think the Clintons will be as displeased as many think. Yeah, they are still livid about their loss to The One, but you just know they will be “working harder than they have ever had to work” to make damned sure BHO doesn’t make it to the White House. The selection of Gov. Palin has just made their task a great deal easier. Now, instead of a full press covert insurrection, they can sit back and engage BHO much more precisely - almost becoming snipers....acting quietly and carefully to do the most damage possible. Expect them to, in a public face, support BHO but also fully expect the Carville’s of their orbit to gradually and with careful effect slowly weaken The One’s whole campaign effort.

McCain obviously put a great deal of thought into who his VP would be, and after the DNC convention and the drama surrounding it....Palin must have looked like a tailor-made VP candidate to him....young, aggressive, smart, conservative, strong integrity, able to appeal to a wide block of women voters, executive experience in government AND the private sector, she reall doesn’t have very many weaknesses.

Yeah, but Biden is the one who reminds me of Howdy Doody!!!

That's understandable, a close comparison of their hairlines would leave most of us confused...

Good line of reasoning, I can buy that. If there is anything the Clinton’s are, it’s vindictive.

It’s not slander when one is telling the truth.

One liberal commentator--a former U.S. ambassador and not normally an unabashed vulgarian--licked his chops Friday afternoon: "To steal an old adage of former Secretary of State James Baker .  .  . putting Sarah Palin into a debate with Joe Biden is going to be like throwing Howdy Doody into a knife fight!"

Now I will be voting. I can’t let a fellow NRA lifemember twist in the wind.

Well said. It's interesting that lots of us who were reluctant about McCain are finding something to like in Sarah Palin.

Agreed. Biden will revert to his nasty, slimy teeth-baring, hearing room interrogation mode. Palin will hold her own, with humor and Biden will be revealed as the disgusting lizard that he is.

It is absolutely hilarious watching the dems and their MSM minions go into overdrive trash mode. They did this to Paula Jones, Linda Tripp, Katherine Harris. They’re flinging around the cheap shots like the “Sex in the City” gals after too many cosmopolitans and it just make them look ugly.

Biden. 36 years as a Washington lawyer with 1/2 the poll numbers to prove the country's disgust for DC lawyers

Think about this.

The Born Alive legislation was all about a Downs Syndrome baby left to die in the soiled linens room. A nurse held that baby following the botched abortion for 45 min. till he died.

Compare that to Sarah Palin. Tell me don’t cry for the first baby that was left to die.

Obama voted AGAINST giving medical attention to babies born alive following abortion.

Biden’s wonderful foreign policy experience includes the partitioning of Iraq into ethnic enclaves.

The Iraqi’s were furious then and they are furious now that he’s Obama’s veep choice.

"The only thing that bothers me is if McCain loses..."

That's why I didn't think McCain would be able to pull her into the race - she has to give up her job and ex-governors don't have a huge job market to work with.
I was hoping to see her lead off the 2012 ticket & hoping Jendal would develop into a viable VP candidate; this can work for the first hope and the second remains on the table. But the risk on on Ms. Palin.

On the other hand, someone on FOX likened her to Joan of Arc this morning, that's something we need to avoid for many reasons.
