Can you guess which the biased left wing main stream media pundit said the following about VP Palin?
Palin is "obviously not qualified to be President," he remarked, describing her interview on CBS Evening News with Katie Couric as a "disaster."
...
"The man who would be the oldest to embark on a first presidential term has chosen as his possible successor a person of negligible experience."
why its conservative columnist George Will.
How about this one ...
Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.
No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I’ve been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted.
Palin filibusters. She repeats words, filling space with deadwood. Cut the verbiage and there’s not much content there. Here’s but one example of many from her interview with Hannity: “Well, there is a danger in allowing some obsessive partisanship to get into the issue that we’re talking about today. And that’s something that John McCain, too, his track record, proving that he can work both sides of the aisle, he can surpass the partisanship that must be surpassed to deal with an issue like this.”
...
If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.
If Palin were a man, we’d all be guffawing, just as we do every time Joe Biden tickles the back of his throat with his toes. But because she’s a woman — and the first ever on a Republican presidential ticket — we are reluctant to say what is painfully true.

I don't know, the VP debate seems to have been even at best for Biden.
Here's a question for you. Joe Biden, foreign policy heavyweight, member of all kinds of foreign policy committees, recipient of endless security briefings on the hotspots of the world, thinks we and France kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon.
That's like you lecturing a bunch of high school students about differential equations and getting it completely wrong. Seriously. The facts in the Middle East have been shown to him in endless briefings. Heck, I've seen some of those briefings.
This isn't Joe Biden stumbling over recently imparted talking points with Katie Couric, this is Joe showing a fundamental incomprehension of the Middle East. Hezbollah isn't a bit player, either. They've got UAVs they use as surveillance platforms flying over Israel. They almost sank an Israeli corvette with a surface to surface missile. When it comes to terrorist groups, they're the big boys.
Why doesn't this matter?
First of all I agree that Gov Palin did far better than expectations.
As for Biden, I missed him saying that he felt "we and France kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon". I remember him saying that Hezbollah is a serious problem in the West bank, and how he feels that the whole thing was mismanaged. What you're quoting seems to contradict his other statements, so I wonder if this was just a misstatement. Please send me a reference on this if you can find one.
But for the sake of discussion lets go with what you say. If he's that much out of touch, why doesn't Israel have a problem with him. In fact he has the reputation among Israel's critics of being too chummy is Israel.
To answer your question, yes it does matter, but its completely overshadowed by Gov Palin being completely out of her depth.
Her performance with Katie Couric was pretty damning. How can you not be able to answer the question of what media do you read? She could have simply said the local Alaska paper. It was a gime. And as for the question about supreme court cases, why couldn't she remember the case they lost this summer against Exon? Again that should have been a give me.
This aside, none of this would be much of an issue if McCain was a bit younger and hadn't had so many bouts with cancer. While I personally wish him a long life, the odds are not in his favor. He doesn't help his situation by hiding his medical records. If he got a clean bill of health from a wide range of doctors, it would remove a great deal of the apprehension concerning a President Palin.
Biden has power and people show him respect because of the position he holds.
Meanwhile, he really is that stupid. He's had the same job for 36 years and still gets the Constitution wrong, he can't figure out Hezbollah and he thinks FDR came on the TV in 1929 to discuss the crash.
Given your experience in your field, try to imagine yourself saying comparable things. I can't.
In the House, gerrymandering has made almost every district safe. That's how we end up with Barney Frank. In the Senate, there are states like that. Delaware is one, Massachusetts is another. Once in, you can't get him out.

Meanwhile, the MSM praises him for his grasp of the details.
If the polls hold, Joe Biden will be one smoker's heartbeat away from the presidency.
