Are any Repubs nervous about how Palin will hold up in Debate?

Question

Biden is a ruthless politician who is known for pulling no punches.

I wonder if she is truly ready for the big leagues...

Even though I don't support their ticket, I wish the girl the best of luck.

Answer 1

h**l NO

  She did'nt make governor by being a milktoast canidate.

Answer 2

I have no idea how she'd fair in debates.   I honestly never heard of her until today.  We'll just have to wait and see I guess.   Biden's ruthless, pulling no punches attitude has gotten him in a lot of trouble.  It's not as much of a strength as people think.  Biden's big mouth could ruin it for Obama.

Answer 3

Personally, the people here who say Palins gonna whip him are dumb, but shes not gonna get touched. Whats it gonna look like when he's ripping her apart, the 44 year old maverick woman. Biden would look like a fool to be extremely agressive. Anyway, assuming the debate is just a normal Vp debate, its just going to be Q&A, slight disagreements etc. She would be fine.

Answer 4

lol,look at all of the good ole boys she smoked.she is a governor for god sakes.she can debate or she wouldn't be there.she has a trail of bodies behind her wake!

Answer 5

Why don't you let us worry about that.

And we aren't worried.

Not that I'm voting for McCain, but if Palin were running in his place.... Who knows?

Answer 6

It's really good to see most people giving Palin fair play, regardless of whether they plan to vote for her ticket.

One thing is sure: I don't want to miss the debates!  Personally, I like Obama as a person, and even if he loses, he's going places, but I cannot STOMACH Biden.

"Valedictorian at Harvard" ? How long ago was THAT?Everyone who has ever held a real job with ANY kind of authority or responsibility knows that a month after you're hired, it no longer matters HOW good your grades were, or what school you attended. It's how effectively you can do your job that counts, and that's the ONLY thing that counts.

I'm sorry, but the Presidential race is not based on transcripts.

Answer 7

Quoting Rev Clueless Doofus "How does a debate with your wife go"

LOL Oh no.  

Answer 8

I wish her the best of luck and I think it was smart of McCain to pick her.  Shows he is not a woman hater like people keep claiming.  (I never thought it)  Also the Hillary lovers should like the fact they will have a woman in office.  That is what I call a balanced ticket!

Answer 9

dream all you want  she will get  smashed against    biden accept it republicans  you have lost the election. can you say  PRESIDENT  OBAMA   HOW SWEET IT SOUNDS

Answer 10

Biden will rip her apart.

Answer 11

Hate to tell you but she is a likable Hillary Clinton type.  Firm, forceful, stands her ground, and more than anything knows her stuff.

If Biden goes at her he is going to look like a fool because she is going to push him back...../

Answer 12

No we are excited and cannot wait to see it.

Lets see how Gov. Sarah Palin expose all the pork deals, and all the partisan cover up, and all the dirt which stuck to Sen. Biden in 30 years in Washington DC.

Answer 13

Biden is also know to make mistakes like he made during his acceptance speech but liberals overlooked because they are used to overlooking negatives.  She took the established party leadership and won the governor spot. Watch Reid quiver in his chair with her sitting above him come february.

Answer 14

Aren't you supposed to be about change?  She will shatter the 'old boys' network.  Sexism solves nothing.

Answer 15

I was wondering about that, becaue Biden is an a$$hole.  Did you see him question Condi Rice during the 911 hearings?  He was mean!  But I'll bet Ms. Moose hunter, dog sledder, basketball champ can hold her own!

Answer 16

Biden? Ruthless? The man cries in public...Palin will embarrass him in the debates.

Answer 17

No.  Palin is tough.

Answer 18

One fact that stands out about Sarah.  She is a mom!  I have no doubt that if challenged, she will she rise up and rip Bidens  pointed tongue out and beat him with it.

Answer 19

I do not think so for one very solid reason. Biden cannot go after her in his usual ham fisted manner without coming across as a sexist bully (which would turn off voters more than Al Gore's indignant sighing or Edwards bringing up Cheney's L*****n daughter). He needs to be classy and subtle (Palin's strong suit), which puts a severe limitation on his ability to be the democratic attack dog Obama needs.

Answer 20

I don't think Joe Biden will suffer at the hands of Sarah Palin.  He has handled many debates before.  The answer about hair plugs cracked me up, for Biden's bald spot is visible for all to see, unlike John McCain's, whose interesting comb over, or comb sideways is downright comical. Well, if you are bald, you do the best you can with what the Lord doesn't take away!

I am waiting for the racist fools on this forum to take on Palin. After all, she is married to a bi-racial man.  Obama is bi-racial and this seems to whip up a froth amid the ignoranamuses who retain the values of the KKK.  Palin's husband is half Inuit.  She is the mother of five, one has Down's syndrome, one in Iraq, and she seems like a fine person to me. But we are not electing Veeps. We are electing a President and that will be Barack Obama.  We can't afford four more years of an aging Bush Buddy!    

Answer 21

I think the GOP should worry much more about the guy that graduated 894 of 899 in his class vs the Valedictorian of Harvard.  Althought I think that Biden will clean her clock also.  

Answer 22

bout time we had some realism in the white house.  most women i know in her position have lots of backbone.  it would surely be nice to see biden put in his place.

Answer 23

Biden will devour her alive.

Answer 24

She should do just fine.  After all, she told her own life story, instead of just changing a couple words from some Russian's story like Biden did.  She is a great choice.

Answer 25

If Hillary can stand up to the good ol boys being fake, this for real cookie can definiately hold her own.

Answer 26

How does a debate with your wife go.

Answer 27

Ah, you don't know much about Sarah 'Baracuda' Palin, do you?

Don't think she's weak just because she's a woman...She stood up to big oil, and took down many big REPUBLICANS who were corrupt.

She doesn't scare easily, and she doesn't hold any punches.

Answer 28

how would I know? I've never even HEARD of her......EXCEPT she's for drilling in the Alaska wilderness, voted no on a bill to make polar bears an endangered species (see above for reason), thinks it's cool to kill a bear (or moose) with a high-powered rifle and think she's tough enough to use said bear as a decoration for her couch..........not to mention she's being investigated for using her power as governor to settle a personal family issue................come on guys....she's no where close to being who we want to hand the future of our children and planet to.....unless you think her sharp shooting will take out Bin Laden and the terrorists that threaten our country and others worldwide.

Answer 29

Not nervous at all.  Biden only knows his left wing version, most people think the left wing version is idiocy gone mad.  

Answer 30

You need to worry about how Biden will handle Gov "Barracuda" Palin. Maybe he can get advice from the corrupt Alaska old time politicians and oil executives she cleaned out. No Hillary tears. You go Sarah!!!!!!!!!

This is the greatest day for conservatives since Reagan's nomination!

Answer 31

No, I am not worried about Governor Palin. Senator Biden will debate like the Neanderthal he is and he'll look creepy and mean, which he is.  Women will hate Biden. Woman will respect Palin for all she is doing and achieving right now.
