Biden/Palin Debate...The horror! The horror!

Ok- I know its still 2 days away but I am getting seriously excited.

Biden- gaffey but lovable in a down to earth- shoots off at the mouth kind of way. Mucho experience. Mucho chatty.

Palin- Homespun charm masking an incredible lack of basic knowledge of national and international politics. Without teleprompter is prone to repeating talking points or rambling off into unintelligible blather.

OK- this is your thread for the debate. Personally I can't get enough of Palin. She pretty much sums up our times. Ignorant, bright, charming, empty and beautiful.

Letthe games begin!!!

She is a good debater... Nice smile filled with vitriol.

Did you see the snips from the Alaska Governors' debate?

McCain doesn't scare me but she does.

This should be on pay-per-view.

Biden will be a gentleman. To appear to trounce her would not help him politically.

Just read a good piece about how we hate experts and think they are elitist when it comes to politicians, but expect experts in all other endeavors, whether it be medicine, science, law or sports.

Many of us have this fixed populist streak that thinks that the guy next door should be able to run the country, a marked disdain for those lofty elitists who run the country.

And we get...the quintessential working mom from a rural state who can talk in a homey "woman of the people" sort of way. Forget what she is saying or how she responds to questions. Just watch her tone of voice, how she appears, read about the narrative of her life, the rifles, the moose, the five kids and still sexy...

Americans don't seem to want experts, they want a good story...

I might actually make a point of finding a friend with a television just to see Palin. It's sort of like driving across town to stare at the horrible car crash. The trouble for Biden is that he could easily come off as the bully picking on the short bus kid.

My comment on the two candidates:

Would your rather vote for someone who protects babies and kills animals or someone who kills babies and protects animals?

Sums it all up for me.
