Veep debate preview

By "Tom" of Radio Free New Jersey

I want to be the very first to predict what the Vice Presidential debate results will be like. At the top of the hour, Joe Biden will take a deep breath and talk as long as anyone lets him. He will tangentially pontificate and ramble along for what feels like forever; making sure to include all the latest Democrat talking points. He’ll come across as a highly professional politician, even if he is a little long winded, and the press and the MSM talking heads will adore him and reverentially heap their many praises upon him.

They will proclaim him the easy victor of the debate before the opening title sequence, and nothing that occurs in the actual discussions will make them change their minds. They will all talk about how Sarah Palin was outgunned from the start and how her ‘folksy manner’ wasn’t nearly enough to make her a match for a heavyweight verbal pugilist like Biden. They’ll condescendingly talk about how she seems “basically nice”, but how she really isn’t ready for such a high profile national role. They’ll try not to be cruel, but they’ll dismiss her as having been out of her league from the start.
