Biden's Debate Ace in the Hole: George W. Bush
Whatever goes down in tomorrow 's VP debate, I say Biden needs to pound one message over and over:
McCain-Palin=Bush.
Bush has the highest disapproval ratings in history. He is political toxin. He must be continually sprayed in the debate air.
~snip~
I expect McCain's Rovian brain trust will have Palin try to throw Biden off balance. I don't think she'll make a big show of being "vice presidential". I think she will attack attack attack, sarcastic and cheerily smiling. I think she will address any issue of her ignorance by chuckling it away as, you know, reporters, elitist nitpicking, insider wonkery, what have you. Debate Reaganomics, if you will
Really, the longer one sees and hears Palin, the more one feels not mind-boggled amusement but naked outrage--and rank disgust at her vacuous triumphalist viciousness. She is clueless, and cheerily clueless about her cluelessness.
