Say it ain’t so, Joe, there ya go again!

Vice President Joe Biden is one step ahead of the curve on Sarah Palin.

“It’s sort of like some of the comments made are just so far sorta out there I just don’t know where they come from,” Biden said on Larry King Live last night. “But, if you met her, she’s an engaging person. She has a great personality.”

Biden went on: “My sense is that Sarah appeals, Gov. Palin appeals to a group of people who are generally frustrated, feel disenfranchised, are very conservative, not all of them…Tea Party people, but beyond that.”

“She has appeal beyond that as well,” Biden added, “but I don’t know that it represents anything approaching a significant portion of the population.”

And, true enough. In a recent poll, 70 percent of respondents declared Palin unfit to be President. And a very small minority of Republicans have a particularly high opinion of her.
