I think it would be wise for Mr Biden to run for cover.Mrs.Palin has demonstrated that she is a very quick learner and a very sharp shooter.She has a lot of class and style,needles to say that she has a lot more experience than Mr.Joe Biden.I think that the Obama bin Biden clan are in big trouble.Look out,here comes Sarah Palin.I call her {the pale rider}.

I don't care if she debates like William Jennings Bryan this woman believes that dinosaurs and human beings walked the earth at the same time, that witches exist and need to be driven out by prayer, that ignorance, provincialism and lack of sophistication are naturally American. How can we hope to meet the critical challenges facing this country if we substitute superstition for science, ignore the future in favor of the attitudes of the seventeenth century? Get your head out of your ammunition pouch and sober up. Your children will be working as domestics in Chinese mansions if you don't wise up - and Sarah Palin and John McCain will lead this country backwards down the road to ruin.

Palin will do well against Biden. Do not discount her..she has been manipulated by Katie Couric and the Liberal media..too bad most Americans don't think for themselves...Main stream citizens love Palin and are done with life time career politicians with Plastic surgery..as in Joe Biden.

Fasten your seat belt folks.
