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???? |

I'm sure she will be fair.
Maybe even ask Biden about when he got shot at in Baghdad. 
Plagiarism and exaggerating being in danger show real insecurity. |

It is rumored that Palin and Biden are planning on reenacting janet jackson's 'wardrobe failure' tonight. Stay tuned.
Especially YOU Buckman..  |

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.  |

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...

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.

Didn't read or hear that.
As i said pretty sketchy reporting, silence is deafening.
But if that is the case, i agree, that would be being shot at. |

It's from what I've read, granted I wasn't there...
I'm wondering why nobody isn't accusing that the moderator isn't biased because Palin is a woman?
