Hail his outspokenness: (“You say what's on your mind and I think people appreciate that.”)

Ignore obvious factual/historical flubs: (Biden: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on television...”) FDR was not in office at the time of the 1929 crash and his "fireside chats" were on the radio.

Relay as reality positive campaign spin about his attributes: (“Relating to the fears of the average American is one of Biden's strong suits.”)

Cue up campaign rally attendees to praise: (“What was it about what he said that really resonated with you in particular?” Answers: “I think he expressed what most working Americans feel at the moment. He seems to relate to our pain.” and “I want him in office because I believe he will do things for women.”)

Empathize with the challenge he faces at the upcoming debate: (“Are you worried you're going to have to pull your punches a bit because of her gender and you don't want to seem like you're bullying her? It's a different dynamic when it's a male/female thing, isn't it?

I'm not a Republican but I think she handled the snotty little Couric (who REALLY isn't very smart) very well. Look at both interviews and Palin comes off as a genuis compared to Biden.

Not everyone who does an interview is going to be "kind" so to speak. Weather it's "Couric" or someone else; Some people are going to get right to the point. If she can't handle it then she should do her home work.

Rumor has it that Biden is bowing out in October for "medical conditions" so Hillary can run.

Do us a favor. Tell us all that you honestly believe Palin has more leadership qualities and skills than Obama?
