With Sarah Palin Exposed, Is Joe Biden Poised to Attack?
As the Vice Presidential Debate draws near, do you think Sarah Palin will hold her own or be verbally chin checked by Joe Biden? Conservatives are coming after moderator Gwen Ifill even though her book The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama was announced back in July. The book has everything to do with the rise of Black politics and nothing to do with Obama in the context of some sort of personal relationship (support in this case). It’s my opinion they will go after Ifill publicly if Sarah Palin predictably bombs tonight.
It ain’t gonna be Gwen’s fault. You can bet the house on that.
I wish Biden could go hard on Palin, but because of Sarah’s “likability” that would backfire.
She’s failed miserably in recent interviews. What was McCain thinking?
Even those on the right are calling for her to step down, so tonight obviously will be pivotal. McCain threw all his eggs in the basket when he picked Palin and tonight it all comes to a head. When you hear pundits say Palin is trying a latch ditch effort to go after average Americans, who do you think they are talking about?
I would love if Tina Fey replaced Palin so I can crack up some more…
Gwen Ifill is one of the best. She rules Sunday mornings and is always professional in her analysis. Here’s commentary from Ms. Ifill after Sarah Palin’s speech:
For all her talk about Joe Six Pack, Sarah must remember that because of her party, the cat she speaks of no longer has any money to buy a forty.
Go get her Joe! She’s not engaged at all in politics outside of Alaska. Mccain could have picked any number of women who were qualified for the vp position. Palin clearly is not.
They’re trying to sandbag this thing already by saying that if Biden talks too much (He’s known for that) he’ll come off as bullying and because Palin is a woman that wouldn’t go over well with some.
I say go for the throat.
Biden’s look on the post is like, “I’m gonna take this chick apart”.
We all know republicans are good at fixing things and spin.
Mouse over his pic bruh…
WORD! LMAO!
as i wrote in my blog: So, what I think we have here is a New England-New York Giants situation. During the two weeks before the Super Bowl, all you heard was how New England could not lose and they were playing against history, not the Giants. The media questioned Eli Manning’s big game ability, and they said that the Giants would be overmatched and outclassed because they weren’t used to performing on the big game stage. So what happened? The Giants pulled off the historic upset, the Patroits choked and the media did an about face. I think Palin is going to win handily tonight, and McCain is going to get a nice boost in the polls..until the House rejects this bailout bill for the second time. Then he’s going to start campaigning to push back the election. ..
I have no idea what’s going to happen tonite. It’s a wrap though. Obama, for better or for worse, will be the next POTUS.
What’s more that in this election we really have to consider the vice presidential candidate more than ever before.
They’re only a heartbeat away from runnin this thing.
Sarah Palin is a token choice by Republicans and their racial baiting will have consquences whether Obama wins or loses next month. If Mc Cain wins he will not be albe to govern at all with Palin as is successor if he dies (which is a good chance considering he had cancer surgery) and the way the GOP played the race card so brazenly by their supportersI wonder how they will be able to do anything poltically. You can govern a poltically divded country regardless of affiliation, but a politcal party and it’s surrogates who has played cultural and racial politics as it Flag to power will eventaully go two ways either outright fascism or civil war because it’s the only way they can manintain their grip on power. A friend of mine who lived through the 60′s told me that it would be deja vu but more violent because we are now a second tir nation because of fre-market conservtaism.
If Obama wins he will have domestic problems for about 2-3 years but internationally he’s taken seriously by foriegn leaders and even our enemies and that should buy him some time to bridge the cultural and domestic areas where there will be racial animus between working class blacks and whites (and merging Hispanics). And a President makes his bones in foriegn policy,if he/she is a strong office holder politically, the markets and other countries will see the U.S. as economic and socially stable for investments which means jobs and investment in turnuse his/her bully pulpit to enact policies that will strengthen the country.
Since 2001, the United States has continued the GOP policy of advance military conquest and spending and free-market de-regulation with politcal culture wars on race, gender, sex, and religion and now the chickens have come home to roost. you have a Governor who reminds me of Rossanne Barr and White Trash insanity debating a seasoned Senator who if he attacks and tells her that she will not be taken seriously by world leaders if she inherits the Presidency if Mc Cain dies in office the GOP wins because that’s how they rose to power on the resentments of white ethnics, racists and blue collar workers.
Palin is in a win-win situation her folks, If Gwen Ifill goes after her she will be accused of liberal bias and “hating whitey” (i.e. Obama supporter) if he does decently she will be hailed as “knocking it out the park”. What should be talked about is that if the GOP wins, there won’t riots in black neighborhoods but now we have seen the outright hatred of White America and all those young people of all races who registred people to vote and were inspired by Obama and his campaign how will they feel about America?
I frankly believed that Racial Reconcilation died after King and Bobby Kennedy died in 1968 and the Buckley- Goldwater-Southern alliance gained power in American politics.
Sorry for the mispells for folks I should have wrote this in word where I have my spellcheck and also the wordiness of the post.
No need to apologize for the first post, ED, because you got your point across. I touched on the same thing over on SOMM because I believe this nation under an Obama presidency will be an even more racially polarized place because many of our fellow citizens won’t be able to countenance a Black man, even a bi-racial man, running this country because of their bigotry. I’m not a big Obama supporter but he’s the better candidate in this race and this country needs to move past the politics, not the cult, but the politics of personality and elect capable persons to run the country and start the process to fix this place.
Big Joe is chin-checkin’ this heffa righteously. Being tough but not condescending and everything Palin throws his way he’s calling her out on it. Obama needs to take notes from his running mate and come out swinging the next debate against McCain.
She’s the same as George’s Bush is…
Big Joe won that one. Not a knockout but he threw some bolos while Palin while never really winning a point with him definitely managed to get her message out by playing up her connection to middle America which we all know that means.
Joe won the debate. While Sarah did not look stupid, she failed to answer many of the questions and stuck to rehearsed talking points.
