#1 And Joe Biden doesn't bite his tongue.

Ain't that the truth! It takes him five friggin' minutes to ask a question.

#2 ultimately, this [election] is going to be about where I want to take the country

What a narcissistic viewpoint that shows no respect for the US voter.

#3 Palin, having been the Governor of a state (that borders 2 other countries) is more able to 'take over the presidency' then Obama OR Biden. Neither one of them has any executive government experience.

#8 Biden "can step in and become president."

That's an interesting way to take the 'experience' thingy. Is BO suggesting some gun-loving, bible-clinging, right-wing crazy will prevent him from finishing his term?

#9 I want the counsel and advice of somebody who's not going to agree with me 100 percent of time

Could have picked ME! I DISAGREE with you 100 percent of the time!

#10 Joseph Biden "can step in and become president."

If I were the DEMs I wouldn't push this too much. It's a bug, not a feature.

#11 I'm sure Biden can step in something.

#12 Will Biden step in on day one? Have the leftocrats forgotten that the least qualified person of the four is their pick for president?

This is going to be a great 2 months. Every time the lefties talk about qualification and experience I will smile involuntarily.

#13 AutoBartender had a great line:

"Obama and Palin are both gonna be a heartbeat away from the presidency."

#14 Top Ten Things Barrack Obama can ask Sarah Palin when he meets her the first time:

10- How do you load a gun?
9 - Is hunting scary?
8 - How do you get the bait on that hook thingy?
7 - What's it like having a spouse that isn't angry all the time.
6 - You were Mayor, then Governor, what's a budget?
5 - I've never delegated. Do you have a canned speech for that?
4 - What does "meeting a payroll" mean?
3 - Why do you have so many kids; haven't you ever heard of an abortion?
2 - What's it like actually being an executive?
1 - Yeah, but do the Germans like you?

#15 I'm laughing too hard to figure out which of those is funniest, Besoeker. I think maybe #8 followed by #7.

#17 Biden would have to step in because Obama is not up to dealing with Putin, Iran or N. Korea.

#18 I cannot stand listening to the guy, but Paul Begala actually made an interesting point, which kinda collapses with a thought or two.

Essentially, the intial reaction to Gov. Palin focussed on the small-town mayor aspect, and unvetted nature - namely BO ran a great campaign, and received 18m +/- primary votes.

All that's well and good, but go two steps further and comare the total primary votes which Gov. Palin received (0 - she wasn't in the primaries you dope) vs. Sen. Biden (more than 0, but what was the question again).

Again - thoroughly inside the dems OODA loop.

#19 And B's list #6 will have the lasting impact.

#20 Just a friendly bit of advice to the Obama camp on dealing with the whole 'not enough executive experience' problem on their end.

Maybe they could assist Stanley Kurtz in doing his research on Obama's time on the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, No? Now why, oh why did Obama leave THAT off his resume?
