Biden can do a lot more good tonight than Palin

Submitted October 2, 2008 - 8:57 pm by Klaus (not verified)

while it's generally assumed in the media and the blogosphere that everyone and their hamster knows Joe Biden, that is far from the case. Most undecideds and many soft Obama supporters don't really have any impression of him, and they're going in tonight expecting a generic boring old white guy who is smarter than Palin.

 

What they're not expecting is a witty, charming pol with more fire in his belly than a blast furnace. Palin may 'survive' and not exacerbate McCain's free fall, but Biden has a much bigger opportunity to actually surprise people and solidify those Obama numbers. Contrary to what the media would have us believe, Palin is not debating a wall. She's debating Joe Biden, and as much the media wants to ignore him (MSNBC actually declared him irrelevant today), he won't let them and the possibility of a brilliant "A noun, a verb, and 9/11" quip far exceeds that of a gaffe. People forget that Biden smoked the other candidates in the primary debates. This is his element and if Palin thinks surviving is enough, she's in for a brutal surprise.
