Hillary is going to tear Palin to shreds.
I know there is fear that Biden is going to have a hard time "tearing into" Palin, because of the perception that he is being "mean" to her.
I can see where that can be a concern, since Hillary saw a big bounce after it was perceived that she was being ganged up on during the Primaries.
But, like its been said many times before, "politics is not beanbag". Palin might be able to get a sympathy bounce when she gets massacred by Biden in the debates, but its only temporary. This is a serious election with dire circumstances and conservatives more than anyone understand the importance of experience and toughness. The "sex card" might work for liberals simply because of the nature of liberalism, but I don't think its going to stick with many working class voters with their jobs, health, and their very lives at stake.
Also, do not forget that the Dems have Hillary Clinton and her 18 million votes as a effective counter-balance against the "sex card".
Hillary will run a bus over her.
Twice.

If I was Hillary, I would be borderline apoplectic over this choice...So, are they saying the only thing Hillary CLinton had going for her was a uterus? Do they think women are that stupid? I find it personally insulting. What a monumental hypocrite...

I'm feeling much better after hearing Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She is a great attack dog. She focused on the idea of Palin as President seeing as how McCain is so old. Frankly I think it would be scary. AK is a small state and she has been Gov. for only 2 years and prior was a small town Mayor. It was a pretty scary picture she painted. Obama also is newer to Washington but he brings so many rare qualities to the table and has Biden by his side as a backup in the event of a tragedy. Biden is comforting in that regard.
How many Hillary supporteres just wanted a woman as opposed to how many wanted that woman, Hillary Clinton?

". . . conservatives more than anyone understand the importance of experience and toughness."
You're kidding right? Is that why they chose Raygun and Bushit?
Yeah, they understand it -- by observing it, with envy, from a distance. Thus they substitute therefor B-L-U-F-F and B-L-U-S-T-E-R.
And a "hero" who failed in his mission and became a POW. What's so heroic about being captured by the enemy?
