Biden says he looks forward to debate with Palin

Sun Sep 7, 11:22 AM ET

WASHINGTON - Democrat Joe Biden says he's debated "an awful lot of tough, smart women" throughout his career and that next month's vice presidential debate with Republican Sarah Palin will be no exception. But he'd like to know where she stands on issues.

"She's a smart, tough politician, so I think she's going to be very formidable,"

-snip-

The Democratic senator from Delaware and the Republican governor of Alaska are scheduled to debate Oct. 2 at Washington University in St. Louis.

Biden, serving his sixth term in Congress, said "there's a lot of very tough, smart women in the United States Senate I debate every day."

-snip-

Biden said she delivered a great speech to the Republican National Convention last week in St. Paul, Minn., but "her silence on the issues was deafening.

"She didn't mention a word about health care, a word about the environment, a word about the middle class. They never parted her lips ... so I don't know where she is on those things."

Looks like they're worried out there!

"I have no idea what her policies are. I assume they're the same as John's. I just don't know, she didn't mention a word about health care, a word about the environment, a word about the middle class. They never parted her lips ... so I don't know where she is on those things."

These are the same policies the dems keep wanting to have front and center, but methinks there are more pressing issues such as why congress has flopped for the last two years.

If I was Joe Biden, I’d look forward to it as well. It would mean that I am still alive on October 2.

I think that from a public relations perspective that the Gov of Alaska will eat Joe alive and take a trophy home with her.

Yep, Biden is beside himself in anticipation of being slaughtered by Palin in the debate. Uh huh.

Biden is probing for weak spots and trying to disarm her with a feeble charm.

Much in the same way I would attempt to fight a main battle tank with my bare hands. Good luck with that, Joe.

Hopefully Governor Palin will ask Joe about those two open mouth kisses between Mrs. Biden and Obama.

It freaked me out as much as Michael Jackson kissing Lisa Mare Presley at the MTV show.

YUCK!

Governor Palin should just stare at Biden’s hairline during the entire debate.

I expect Biden will be condescending toward Sarah Palin. Will he use words of endearment such as “honey” or “sweetie”?

I’m looking forward to Sarah Palin ripping Joe a new one without him even knowing what happened to himself until about an hour or day after the debate.

I’m betting Sen. Biden will be prepared to debate Gov. Palin. Lets not crow too much now. I’m not being a killjoy, just saying we should just chill a bit. I’m looking forward to this debate.

I can’t believe I just wrote that. Debates are usually as much fun as root canals.

It should be real interesting. :-)
