I'd say Joe Biden's set up in the perfect position tomorrow.
I disagree with this 'Biden should go easy on her' shit.

Why? Because I estimate about three out of four people in this country would be personally willing to tell Palin to shut the fuck up and go back to Alaska, and I think Biden can take leadership on that particular issue.

He just needs one really good zinger, and it'll break the back of the McCain campaign. One of those scripted debate zingers along the lines of "there he goes again," or "you're no John Kennedy," or "and that man was your father, Herbert Walker Bush." It'll do two things.

1. People everywhere will cheer, the media will run with it. It'll be the defining moment of the debate.

2. It'll get Joe Biden's name back in the media cycle. He's supposed to be, after all, Obama's attack dog.

5. Instant internet meme.

1. He won't attack her, he will keep the focus on McCain.

2. Agree. He will not attack her, he will not roll his eyes at her, he will not sigh, smirk, etc.

He needs to show the utmost respect for her as the second candidate on the other ticket, while clobbering her with his knowledge.
