Katie would hammer any other politician who answered the way Palin does. Well not quite. I have seen Katie play footsie’s with McCain.

Katie is coddling Sara. That is why she has an exclusive.

Glen Ifill will play it straight down the line. She is a PROFESSIONAL

With you on Biden. Steady, clear factual. As one strategist on Hardball said Sara should reach through the T.V. and grab hold of the American voters and let them know she is one of them.

Embrace most Americans lack of knowledge having to do with foreign policy, leaders etc.

Late Post — but the centerpieces of Biden’s first term in the Senate were Watergate, War Powers Legislation, Freedom of Information Act, and the Church Committee. And yea, there was that matter of finally ending the Vietnam thingee. And yea, there was the first oil shock — Carter’s effort to get a comprehensive Energy Policy and all went no where.

If I were advising Biden on the Debate, I’d riff these events, and the debate and soul searching any Senator on the Judiciary Committee marking up legislation around these matters necessarily has to go through, as a way of describing both rich experience and institutional memory.

She is the best presidential candidate at the time of an ailing capitalism. People cry change but change happens only with the individuals. Change will not happen for the benefit of the people, unless:

Actually, the one speech you likely remember–and now that I think of it, Palin is likely to bring it up, is in the Clarence Thomas hearings.

Sarah, what do you think of Justice Clarence Thomas’s judicial approach of ignoring all stare decisis?

Gwen I: Governor Palin…could you name the President Kazakhstan?
Palin: You betcha!…His name is Borat. I saw the movie with my kids.

Sarah, should Taiwan be allowed into the United Nations?

Should each of the United Kingdom ‘countries’ be also?

How do you feel about Ukraine and/or Turkey joining the European Union?

At least she did not fabricate a story that she landed in Tuzla under sniper fire.

Sarah, do you think that President Clinton’s anti-genocide action in Kosovo is similar to President Bush’s overthrow of Saddam Hussein in Iraq?

Sarah, Germany recognized Bosnia as a nation and to some extent began the war between Serbia and Bosnia. Do you think Germany’s immigration problem had anything to do with that?

Biden should be able to put together a dozen good Issue Katas

Politicians develop those over time and someone at this level should just do what’s natural. Biden can smile and make friends. Palin can smile and alienate a nation.
