Ya, Biden's never screwed up. I think (hope) she'll do fine. I wonder how the left would feel iff the moderator had a book entitiled" The Making Of John McCain" due out. It's just a matter of ethics. The moderator stands to make thousands if Obama wins the election. I can see why we would think she would be be motivated to help Obama. As long as the high and mighty Bush wackers are OK with it then it must be ok.
I think she has been overcoached and a little bit star eyed. I guess that makes her a true outsider. I wouldn't call her stupid. She just has to learn how to BS answers like Rev Obama and then you guys will love her.
Not saying Biden has never screwed up nor that he is the end all and be all. He can really go off on a tangent......but like it or not this is for the second most powerful position on the friggin planet and a decent knowledge of 8th grade American history, not to mention Foreign relations and geography is not asking too much!
Of concern to McCain's campaign, however, is a remaining and still-undisclosed clip from Palin's interview with Couric last week that has the political world buzzing.
The Palin aide, after first noting how "infuriating" it was for CBS to purportedly leak word about the gaffe, revealed that it came in response to a question about Supreme Court decisions.
After noting Roe vs. Wade, Palin was apparently unable to discuss any major court cases.
There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence.
How about Brown vs. Board of Education, Dred Scott, Miranda, Abington Schools v. Schemp, etc????

She's had ten days or so to prepare, with the best coaching resources available, and the ability to bring notes along.
I think we'll see a major improvement with respect to Ms. Palin.
Biden is going to tear her to pieces. Be prepared for plenty of stand up comedy and one liners from pailin. maybe she will show some cleavage to win over the male vote.
Maybe even ask Biden about when he got shot at in Baghdad.
While I don't think Biden was ever a real target (shot at) I think for someone who's not used to war, the very fact that there's fighting close enough by to cause danger would make one feel as thought there were being shot at.
Wasn't he on a plane that had a flare system triggered? Mortar rounds exploding nearby etc...

-spence
No, that was the point he wasn't the target.
From what i understand from the news he was eating dinner at a hotel when a mortar round went off in the area.
Pretty sketchy as according to the news ,only one paper followed up on it,
vs just about every paper existing following up on Hillary's close brush with death from sniper fire.

I've read that on one of his trips his aircraft deployed it's anti-missle flares...I don't care who you are, that's being shot at. I believe the mortar fire was close by, and they warned if it came closer they would have to seek shelter.
How many troops are killed in action because of random fire? I'd wager very few are specifically targeted, they are just in harms way. The dead are still dead.
Regardless, I don't see this as a stretch...Hillary's comment was certainly a stretch.
Sure there's a bias....
Anybody from PBS is biased to the left. The conservatives eliminated most of the funding for PBS not too many years ago. Its been one long telethon ever since.
Can't blame them either. PBS is all pro-science shows and pro-liberal causes. I think that Teletubbie with the purse is gay - why is he carrying a pocket book?

Or could it just be, that its not the job of the government to pay for television shows? Just a thought.
You want to watch it (and I do!) you pay for it. Dont make the rest of the country foot the bill
so DF and Nebe, what are your thoughts on this?
Isnt this as bad as Palin? Cant he think on his feet?
Notice he get frustrated with the crowd, just like he is the professor in front of class.
Please watch this a few times and remind me again how GWB is an idiot.
come on, is Palin really worse than this? He has been doing it for months, her for a few weeks. What an incredibly weak, nonsense response.
No right wing spin, just Obama being Obama.
When Palin prepares to the debate, its a big news story. Tell me Obama dindt have 10 speech coaches prepping him for the debate with McCain.
duh,,,,,what a star! he makes a condescening remark and then responds with nonsense
and a decent knowledge of 8th grade American history, not to mention Foreign relations and geography is not asking too much!
