The one thing that I am sick of hearing...
Is how Joe Biden needs to "go easy" on Sarah Palin so as not to "alienate" women voters! I was just watching CNN, and the talking heads were saying that he needs to be "careful" or women might take offense. Hardly - THIS woman wants to see him go for her jugular, and I'm offended by the inference that she has to be handled with kid gloves because she's a woman. If any woman is offended by Joe Biden being "too rough" on Palin, it won't be thinking women - it will be women who already support her.

Go for it, Joe!

1. I have mixed feelings...
I think that if Palin remains respectful and on topic, Biden should let her hang herself. But if she starts lobbing shit-bombs at him (as some are predicting will be her strategy), then by all means, destroy her.

But yeah, I know what you mean.

3. I agree..
and meant to say that if she goes on the attack (and I've heard the same strategy being tossed around), then she's fair game.

4. For myself, for you, for other thinking women, I wholeheartedly agree...
Ideally, I would love to see Biden hold nothing back. Unfortunately, not all females who will watch, and ultimately vote, are what we could call thinkers. I say this with deep sadness.

5. I agree, but face it, he can't win there...
if he's rough on her Drudge will headline about how he beat up the poor widdle girl. If he explains things, he'll be beat up for patronizing her.

No matter what he does, they'll try to spin it as him being a sexist pig. I'd guess the best thing for him to do is just make his points and then let the shitstorm fly away.

He's been around a long time, though, and should know how to finesse his way through this particular minefield.

9. Now that it's all over, he treated her with the respect due..
an opponent and attacked McCain mercilessly. Any sexism charges will look ridiculous.

Good job!

6. Sarah is going for a position that is a heart beat away from the most powerful
office in the world and Biden is supposed to go easy on her because she is a woman?
Sure, whatever you say.
